    Step back in time while enjoying modern comforts at the historic Boenig-Maurer House, a beautifully preserved 1869 farmhouse located at 475 Butcher Street in the heart of New Braunfels' highly sought-after Sophienburg Hill Historic District. Originally constructed by early German settlers as part of a former dairy farm, this remarkable property is a featured stop on the Historic Walking Tour of New Braunfels and offers a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Texas history. Rich in character and architectural charm, the home showcases soaring 9-foot ceilings, stunning longleaf pine flooring, heart pine flooring in the bedroom, and extensive original woodwork that has been thoughtfully restored. Recent improvements include professionally sanded and refinished pine floors, re plastered and painted interior walls, a beautifully remodeled bathroom with updated plumbing, rebuilt front porch columns, new porch screening, updated washer and dryer connections, and numerous roofing improvements including partial metal roof replacement and protective roof coatings. The inviting front porch and rustic farmhouse aesthetic create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, while modern updates provide everyday comfort and convenience. Situated just minutes from downtown New Braunfels, residents can enjoy easy access to local restaurants, shops, entertainment, and some of Texas' most popular destinations including Schlitterbahn Waterpark, Gruene Hall, and the Comal River. Conveniently located between San Antonio and Austin with quick access to IH-35, this property is ideal as a primary residence, weekend retreat, vacation rental, or investment opportunity. Historic charm, thoughtful updates, and an unbeatable location combine to make the Boenig-Maurer House a truly one-of-a-kind New Braunfels treasure.
