Welcome to the 1914 Raoul Dreyfus Tenant House
Located on the wide one way street Bernardo de Galvez (Avenue P)
In 2013 the house was meticulously restored, the previous owners even used a forensic paint specialist to discover the original paint colors of rose and bluish green.
The current owners installed a screen patio to enhance the outdoor space but took special care to not effect the character of the exterior
This is a traditional Craftsman floorplan, entering the home into the living room
The original owner of the home was Raoul Dreyfus he was a local real estate investor who promoted general real estate sales, real estate investments and home loans.
This Craftsman bungalow was built as a builders show home and featured "every modern convenience" for the time.
All the woodwork in the home is original and was restored to it's original glory and beautiful stained finish by scraping layers of paint when the home was restored in 2013.
The stunning heart pine wood floors are also original to the home
The dining room is one of the largest rooms of the house which was very common in 1914 it also features a beautiful bay window alcove.
Although not original to the home the lighting fixtures in the dining room and living room are antiques and correct for the time
The heart pine floors are waxed throught the home with the exception of the kitchen and bathroom where they have a poly finish
The dining room features two built in bookcases original to the home
The kitchen located in the back of the home has the original bead board walls
Behind the small door you'll find a walk in pantry, that was a huge luxury for 1914 and very unusual, the other door leads to a porch type mudroom with laundry connections
Notice the transom window, also original and fully operational
Although the cabinets and appliances are not original to the home they were thoughtfully placed with the help or an architect to make the most of the small space.
This is the front bedroom of the home, it is slightly larger than the back bedroom and connects to the bathroom.
Built-in closets were also unusual for the time period, this home features built-in closets in both bedrooms and even a hall closet!
Certainly not original but appreciated the ceiling fans in both bedrooms and central ac and heat through out the home.
The clawfoot tub is a reproduction and correct for the time period.
Modern vanity with storage
This view of the back bedroom gives an excellent view of the beautiful floors.
All the door knobs (exception the backdoor) and hinges are original to the home.
The back bedroom has a closet as well.
Ample space in the back yard to add a garage or shed
The back yard has been converted by the current owners to a butterfly garden featuring native plants to the island.
Great location in Galveston, just blocks from the beach
The back has ally access, the ally is one way dead-end with minimal traffic per owners
There is a small driveway to the left of the home that could accomadate two cars for off street parking, Bernardo de Galvez (Avenue P) is a one-way street running east, the home is located on the northside of the street
The home features many clever architectural elements making this home a unique find such as open tapered columns on the front porch, tripartite window in the gable front, contrasting wooden shilgles and lap siding and the birds tail bargeboard rafter ends on the house.
Even the deck boards on the front porch are original to the home and in great shape!
