luxury houses with reception room for sale Galveston, United States

Carr Mansion, built in 1866, operates as an exclusive bed and breakfast and holds a prestigious Michelin Key, international recognition as an exceptional place to stay. Set on expansive park-like grounds, the Greek Revival home features grand walk-through windows, expansive decks, and eight uniquely designed luxe bedrooms praised by Conde Nast, Paper City, and Texas Monthly. Each suite includes a clawfoot tub in the room, with their own toilet & sink. A sought-after venue for weddings and events, the property offers a well-appointed kitchen, elegant dining & lounge spaces, a Nicholas Clayton–designed ballroom with turret, and a bar reminiscent of a Victorian pub. Historic details—grand staircase, newel post, transoms—blend seamlessly with light, modern updates. Once owned by a Texas governor and notable Galvestonians, this storied estate would make a dream private residence or an investment property continuing its legacy as a premier destination.
