Description
Step into New Braunfels history with this distinguished 1881 Texas-German Heritage estate, offering approximately 2,624 square feet of preserved architectural character on nearly 0.7 acres adjacent to the Comal River. Built during the city's formative German-settlement period, this residence reflects the craftsmanship, scale, and charm that define the area's most treasured historic homes. Classic double-story porches, original longleaf pine floors, tall sash windows, and hand-built millwork showcase the home's 19th-century authenticity. The traditional central-hall layout-designed for natural light and ventilation-anchors generous formal living and dining spaces, four spacious bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a kitchen ready for thoughtful restoration or modern enhancements. With its substantial footprint, historic character, and premier location, the property offers exceptional versatility-equally suited for continued use as a single-family residence or thoughtfully envisioned as a bed-and-breakfast or other heritage-inspired retreat (buyer to verify permitted uses). Outdoors, mature oaks envelop the sweeping lawn, while stone pathways and a historic outdoor hearth echo the property's century-old legacy. The wide porches capture Hill Country breezes and provide serene views of the estate-like grounds. Located along one of New Braunfels' most historic corridors and within walking distance to downtown and the Comal River, this property presents a rare opportunity to own and steward a meaningful piece of local heritage. Whether preserved as-is or reimagined with a modern touch, this 1881 estate embodies the enduring beauty and architectural legacy of early New Braunfels.
