About this home

The famously restored home featured on Restoring Galveston, formerly The Big Texas Fix, Season 1, Episode 8. The 1887 Gustave Mayhoff Cottage, beautifully restored by The Cordray’s of Save 1900. People still slow down to photograph this legendary property, drawn to its timeless charm beneath the canopy of majestic oak trees framing the home. Enjoy the walkable island lifestyle people dream about —morning beach walks, sunset strolls along the Seawall, dinner at local restaurants, or cocktails at Hotel Galvez all just steps away. Generations of Galveston families have loved and cared for this home, creating a legacy woven into the fabric of the island itself. Towering ceilings, glowing gas lanterns, brick courtyards, a resort-style pool, oversized marble kitchen island, massive walk-in closets, home generator, and rare gated parking, create a home designed for both entertaining and relaxed coastal living. This is more than a home people admire — it’s one people remember.
