Own one of Galveston's most treasured historic homes. Situated on a prominent 0.444-acre corner lot, George Manor centers around the Edward T. Austin House, originally built in 1868 and beautifully restored to preserve its rich architectural heritage. The 3,812 SF manor showcases stunning original frescoes in the dining room, soaring ceilings, elegant millwork, and timeless period details rarely found today. Surrounded by mature oak trees and manicured grounds, the property offers a unique blend of history, charm, and modern comfort. In addition to the main residence, four private one-bedroom guest cottages provide exceptional flexibility for extended family, guests, rental income, or a home-based hospitality venture. Extensively renovated, the property currently operates as bed & breakfast, offering a turnkey business opportunity. Conveniently located near Galveston's beaches and the historic Strand, George Manor is a rare chance to own a landmark estate with endless possibilities.
