Galveston real estate - 1301 Harbor View Drive is a modern masterpiece designed by famed Houston architects Howard Barnstone and Eugene Aubry.
With three bedrooms and three and one-half bathrooms, this home has approximately 4,143 square feet.
Situated on a large lot with about 100 feet of prime water frontage, this home offers views of the Galveston Harbor, the most interesting views on the island, from all major rooms. You can literally watch the ships and boats sail past.
Designed for the family now selling it, the home was made for entertaining with its large living area, adjacent dining area and the numerous access points to the backyard.
1301 Harbor View features skylights, a study with its own bathroom, an abundance of storage and built-ins, and the most interesting design. This home offers easy access to the Univeristy of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), and historic downtown Galveston.
According to architectural historians Ellen Beasley and Stephen Fox in their book, Galveston Architectural Guidebook, “Although the street front of this flat-roofed house, faced with panels of pink St. Joe brick and solar glass, is unassuming, it cloaks what is one of the great houses of Galveston. The house is tailored in plan to its parallelogram-shaped lot in order to orient major rooms to the harbor view. This results in internal eccentricities, which Barnstone and Aubry cleverly resolved in the house’s lofty, proportioned, glass-walled spaces.”
This masterpiece is now ready for your post-storm renovation.
