    Loaded with character and located in the heart of New Braunfels with R-2 zoning and no HOA! Built in 1954, this 1,432-square-foot home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a metal roof. Full of authentic details, it’s ready for its next chapter. One of its best features is the incredible 0.66-acre lot—a rare find for an in-town property. Garden lovers will appreciate the wide-open space, mature shade trees, beautiful crepe myrtles, and a storage shed for tools and equipment. There's plenty of room for a fire pit, outdoor entertaining, or creating your own backyard retreat. The covered front porch offers the perfect place to relax in the shade, while a gorgeous, wooden front door welcomes you inside. The open living room /dining area features the home's original wood flooring, crown molding, and built-in shelving, giving the home timeless appeal. The kitchen offers classic-style wood cabinetry, a butcher block island, and an inviting layout that's ready to be personalized. The spacious primary bedroom easily accommodates a king-sized bed and includes a large, walk-in closet. The primary bath renovation is already underway with an unfinished, oversized walk-in shower, beautiful penny tile flooring, and an antique vanity topped with granite, providing a great starting point for your finishing touches. Whether you're looking to restore its classic charm or create something uniquely your own, this home offers a wonderful opportunity to make your vision a reality. With an affordable price, an exceptional lot, and a sought-after location, this property is ready for someone to create something truly special. And, keep in mind that the R-2 zoning may even allow you to start over with a duplex or build an accessory dwelling unit for multigenerational living or guest accommodations. (Be sure and check with the city for R-2 zoning regulations.) Opportunities like this are few and far between! Don’t miss this chance! Note: Some photos are virtually staged to show possibilities.
