The backyard is an entertainer's dream, boasting an 8x8 wet bar, a large deck, and lush garden with grapefruit and banana trees"”perfect for enjoying Galveston's famous bird migration and monarch butterfly seasons. This home is also conveniently located 7 blocks from the beach, .6 miles from the historic downtown, and 1 mile from UTMB.
