“7 Palms” is a striking state-of-the-art coastal sanctuary in the Estate Section of Pointe West, offering unobstructed views of the Gulf and Bay. Nestled in one of Galveston’s most prestigious waterfront communities, this home enjoys private beach access, 24/7 security, clubhouse pools, restaurant, bar, and proximity to golf courses, marinas, wildlife preserves, and the abundance of nature near San Luis Pass. Nominated by the Greater Houston Builders Association for Best Custom Home Design and Best Custom Home Elevation, the home is built for scale, symmetry, proportion, and natural light. It has four stunning bedrooms, each with en-suite baths, 2,691 sq ft of conditioned indoor space, 1,432 sq ft of covered outdoor decks (with Trex Transcend decking and concealed fasteners), plus a top-floor “Lighthouse” cupola with 360° views of the Island and an uncovered roof deck ideal for star gazing. Inside, find a chef’s kitchen and walk-in pantry with custom millwork by Benedettini Cabinetry, professional-series appliances, Calacatta-inspired Quartz counters, classic, craftsman finishes, and elegant crown molding in every room. Two large cast-stone fireplaces – one in the main living room and one in the Level 2 lounge adjoining the primary suite – make winters on the island a cozy quiet get-away. The primary suite includes barn doors connecting to the lounge and an expansive private balcony on which to enjoy your morning java! The primary bath features a freestanding soaking tub, large stone and glass shower, dual vanities, and a walk-in closet. The home is technologically advanced, with in-ceiling Sonos and Klipsch speakers, security cameras (operable off-grid), ethernet and cable connections in every room, backup high-speed satellite internet and cell connectivity, and full security system. A 26kW Generac whole-home backup generator with ATS can power everything (all lights, HVAC, appliances, A/V, security, and communications systems) for over two weeks off the grid, using a 500-gallon propane tank that auto-calls for refill when it drops below 50%. Built to endure, the home is elevated on thirty 12”X12”X28’ treated pilings, placing the first floor at a comfortable 21.5’ above sea level. Engineered to withstand a Category 4 hurricane, with stainless steel (corrosion-resistant) structural connections, impact-resistant windows, and marine-grade Kynar 500 SL150 24-gauge standing seam metal roof with Durapon 70 PVDF fluorocarbon coating (resistant to oil-canning and corrosion and providing a mirror-like finish). Designed to showcase art on large gallery-like walls, the home is also equipped with a state-of-the-art HVAC system with zoned dampers and a vented dehumidifier by Therma-Stor, designed to circulate fresh air and maintain the home at a crisp 45% relative humidity. Forty-seven large impact-resistant windows throughout allow abundant natural light and provide panoramic views of the Gulf, the Bay, and the West End of the Island. The 10,000 sq ft lot is uniquely bordered on three sides by protected green space, where no future homes can be built, creates a true sanctuary by the sea, with closeness to wildlife and privacy. The ground level includes a very large, covered garage with epoxy-coated slab on grade and parking for up to four luxury vehicles and / or watercraft. Landscaping features the original seven Florida Sabal palms (hence the name “7 Palms”) plus seven additional Florida Sable and Mediterranean Fan Palms, Vitex trees, Texas Silver Sage, Gulf Muhly, Birds of Paradise, and custom landscape lighting. This fully custom home blends state-of-the-art design and construction to create a true architectural masterpiece. This is not just coastal living – it is coastal living redefined.
