Historic Remembrance Meets Modern Luxury at the DeForest House
Experience an exceptional executive residence within Galveston's distinguished DeForest House, a beautifully restored Victorian landmark dating to 1883. Named for New York native James DeForest, who acquired the prominent corner property from noted Galveston businessman and philanthropist Henry Rosenberg in 1882, this award-winning home offers a rare opportunity to live within an authentic piece of the island's history.
Offered as a fully furnished executive rental, this refined three-bedroom, two-bath residence masterfully balances preserved architectural character with sophisticated modern comfort. Soaring ceilings, original wood flooring, restored nine-foot pocket doors and an elegant grand foyer illuminated by the home's original electrified gasolier recall the craftsmanship and grandeur of late-19th-century Galveston.
Beyond the stately interiors, a private built-in swimming pool creates a serene outdoor retreat ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Convenient off-street parking further enhances this remarkable offering.
Ideally positioned near UTMB, Galveston's beaches, the Seawall and the island's historic downtown attractions, the DeForest House provides executives, medical professionals and discerning residents with an elevated turnkey living experience in one of Galveston's most historically significant homes.
