1310 Harbor View Dr, Galveston, TX 77550

Welcome to one of The Island's most beautifully preserved midcentury homes with all the modern-day comforts. The grid-patterned brise-soliel (sunscreen) and the "upside-down" floor plan make the house iconic. Designed by Irving Phillips, the house boasts an elevated second floor giving a view of the bay through floor-to-ceiling windows, while the sunscreen helps shade the interior from the western sun. Amazing sunsets. Large primary suite is up, while most bedrooms are down, including a 2nd primary suite. Updates include the entire electrical system, plumbing, new roof, and HVAC. The master suite saw a complete renovation adding a walk in closet, built in cabinets, a full bath, and a dedicated office. Large lot would be ideal for a pool, while still maintaining yard. Plenty of off street parking. Garage has been finished air conditioning. Original features include teak panels on the 2nd floor, built in cabinets and fireplace. Ask agent for update list. See virtual tour for more pics.
4 Bed ∙ 3.5 Bath ∙ 3,005 Sq Ft ∙ 0.26 Ac.
