A tree-lined stone roadway leads you to this three-story colonial home on a 1-acre lot beside a sandy Galveston Bay beach in Seabrook.

Upon entering the 5,616-square-foot home’s grand foyer, a large staircase directs you to the second level, where you’ll find an open kitchen and living room area, a formal dining room with a balcony and the master bedroom suite with its attached sitting room, fireplace and full bath.

The custom kitchen includes granite countertops, an electric range on an island, double ovens and a dumbwaiter.

Off the living room is a terrace that runs the width of the home and overlooks the bay.

The ground level includes guest bedrooms, a family room and a utility area. In addition, there’s a third-story observatory that offers views of

Galveston on a clear day.A two-bedroom guest cottage is located alongside the three-car detached garage and mimics the main home’s colonial exterior design style.

The home has hardwood flooring throughout, three gas fireplaces and an automatic gate at the entry.
