Rarely does an estate of this scale, privacy and pedigree become available in the heart of Galveston. Built in 1909 and documented as the longtime residence of prominent railroad executive Alfred C. Torbert and his family, 3401 Avenue O is set behind an ornamental metal gate on approximately 17,000 square feet of lush, manicured grounds. Its stately architecture is crowned by a distinctive metal roof, while gracious interiors offer substantial millwork, stained-glass details, three fireplaces and beautifully proportioned rooms. An elevator, generator, climate-controlled attic and abundant gated parking provide discreet modern convenience. Beyond the home, a resort-style pool and hot tub with Pentair equipment are complemented by a separate pool house with a coordinating metal roof, full kitchen, bath and fireplace. Grand without ostentation and historic without compromise, this is a rare Galveston estate of provenance, presence and enduring beauty.
