This beautiful home, built between 1886-87 for German immigrant Jacob Sonnentheil, is thought to be designed by the famous Galveston architect Nicholas J. Clayton.
Sonnentheil, who ran a wholesale dry goods store on The Strand, made sure his house featured the top architectural styles of the time, with Eastlake, Gothic, and Italianate elements. One of its most impressive features is the beautifully crafted double gallery.
Inside, the main house is spacious with three large bedrooms, a recently remodeled primary en suite bath, a guest bath, two powder rooms, a large den, formal dining room, formal parlor, sitting room, and even an elevator. The home boasts custom hand-cut hardwood parquet floors, original custom plaster crown molding, arches, medallions, rare curly pine paneling, antique light fixtures, five fireplaces, and original stained glass windows.
There’s also a delightful 644 sq. ft. carriage house/garage apartment. This separate living space includes two bedrooms, a full bath, a kitchen, a living area, and off-street parking. Currently rented out, the garage apartment can be viewed during a second showing.
