Welcome to the Walter and Caroline Ansell House originally built in 1871. This stunning home is a five-bay center-hall cottage and was featured on the Galveston Historical Foundation's 2011 Historic Homes Tour. Ansell established the Texas Ice Co., and was the first to ship ice from Maine and Massachusetts to Galveston. Situated on a large corner lot this home features an exceptional front porch, three of four large bedrooms all with ensuite baths, large rooms which flow nicely between each other, original flooring, pocket doors and much trim work throughout, exceptional cabinetry in the kitchen which leads to a large screened porch overlooking a tranquil water feature. Upstairs you will find two large bedrooms, again both with beautiful attached baths. This oversized lot is a gardeners dream, as well as having a gated drive, 2 car garage, and additional entertaining space behind the garage.
