A remarkable transformation took place on this classic Southern Creole home that was once on GHA's at risk list and is now a City of Galveston Landmark (2017). History buffs will love learning about the 1899 James McDonald home, restored by the current owner. Renovations include raising the home, new foundation, roof, plumbing, HVAC & electrical. The first floor provides an open area for living, media, game room, plus 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The historical heart of the home is upstairs where you will find two more bedrooms, full bath with clawfoot tub, formal living and dining rooms with all of the historic features intact. The kitchen has been smartly updated with a European feel. There are 4 fabulous porches to enjoy the views and breezes from the gulf. Great location - 1/2 mile to the seawall and less than a mile to the Strand.
