126 Gulf Drive

Gulf Drive, Galveston Island — 2024

Elevated Elegance on Gulf Drive

Two full stories of wraparound covered porches frame panoramic Gulf views from nearly every angle of this upscale coastal traditional home. A standing-seam metal roof crowns the structure with lasting durability and a timeless coastal silhouette, while light oak hardwood floors flow through the interior connecting living spaces with warmth and continuity.

Inside, white shaker cabinetry paired with gold and brass hardware sets the tone for refined coastal living. Bedrooms open through sliding glass doors onto balconies where the water stretches to the horizon. The primary bathroom features a gray vanity with marble countertops and frameless glass shower enclosures over hexagonal floor tile, while secondary baths introduce a coastal blue-gray vanity for subtle contrast. Every detail was selected to honor the setting without competing with it.
