Overview

Property Description

Tucked beneath a canopy of towering cypress, oak, pecan, and native Texas trees, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath bungalow sits on a shaded 10,432 sq. ft. lot in one of New Braunfels' most sought-after neighborhoods. Full of character and creative spirit, the 1,448 sq. ft. home offers a rare opportunity to own a property that feels connected to both nature and the rich culture of the area. Livable in its current condition yet ready for updates and repairs, the home presents a unique opportunity to reimagine a character-filled property while preserving its distinctive charm. For buyers with vision, it offers the chance to create something truly special in a neighborhood where mature trees, walkability, and close proximity to the Comal River continue to drive lasting appeal. Outside, the landscape is a true highlight. Mature trees create a park-like setting, while abundant native plants attract birds, butterflies, and local wildlife, giving the property a peaceful, almost hidden-garden feel. A detached garage adds storage, workshop space, or future potential. Located just minutes from downtown New Braunfels and the Comal River, you'll enjoy easy access to restaurants, shopping, live music, festivals, and some of the area's most beautiful historic homes. Walk, bike, or explore one of Texas' most beloved destinations from a property that offers charm, shade, character, and an exceptional location.
