Ideally set in quaint Morgan’s Point off Galveston Bay, The Governor Ross Sterling Mansion, aka The First Texas White House, was built in 1924 by Alfred Finn for the 31st governor of Texas. First named Miramar – meaning “sea view” — this scaled-down replica of the United States White House sits on a headland with unobstructed bay views and direct beach access from its 28-foot rotunda portico. Registered by the National Register of Historic Places and the Texas Historical Commission, the over six-acre property features marble and oak flooring, gilded and intricately carved moldings, pressed-tin ceilings, and an antique stone fireplace amongst many extravagant details from its original construction. Authentically restored and updated for modern living, this historical estate boasts nine bedrooms and 15 bathrooms, a ballroom, rooftop terrace, and an impressive library across 20,689 square feet of ideal entertaining and living space. Given new life, The Mansion celebrates elegance and offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Texas history in a relaxing waterfront setting.
