Craig K. Brown Development and HomeLife Builders are proud to announce an exciting new project that offers a new standard for Downtown living.  Craig Brown stated, “My goal is to provide the Downtown area with a unique living style that provides amenities not readily found in current Downtown residences while honoring the architectural ambiance of some of the oldest Downtown structures”.  Many styles were considered but after careful review with David Watson Architects the Federalist style was chosen, which is the style of some of Galveston’s oldest commercial buildings.

These 6 single family Brownstones designed by David Watson Architects offer 3 bedroom 2 ½ baths with custom kitchens and a 480 square foot bonus room above the private 2 car garages, ready for a studio, office or separate living quarter.  Emphasis is placed on outdoor living with personal New Orleans style courtyards and spacious balconies overlooking historic Postoffice Street.  The Brownstones are located on the land that originally was the site of the Fraternal Order of the Eagles Lodge, which dates back prior to the 1900 Storm.  Just down the block from the Grand Opera House, Custom’s House and the Postoffice Arts and Entertainment District the Brownstones provide residential privacy within walking distance to some of the best restaurants and entertainment the Island has to offer.

Each home offers the latest in custom interior design with hardwood floors, stone surfaced counter tops and designer kitchens and baths.
