SELLER IS OFFERING A $5,000 FENCING ALLOWANCE! Welcome to 596 Willow Ave - a beautifully situated New Braunfels midcentury property offering the perfect blend of character, comfort, and convenience. This NBISD vintage charmer sits in one of the city's most sought-after established neighborhoods. The curb appeal is strong with all new landscaping, new front door, new light fixture, new mailbox, and an adorable seating area. Surrounded by mature trees, this home sits just minutes from downtown, Landa Park, Schlitterbahn, the Comal River, and the city's most beloved dining and shopping spots. Inside, you'll find a warm, inviting layout with abundant natural light. Relax in front of the picture window in the living room, and in the cooler months, light up the woodburning fireplace. The centrally located dining room provides ample space for a large table, perfect for family gatherings. There is plenty of room to prepare meals or just hang out in the large eat-in kitchen. The original wood cabinets bring a warm, nostalgic feel while pairing seamlessly with the all-new stainless steel appliances - the perfect blend of old and new. When you're done entertaining, retire to your large primary bedroom and updated ensuite. Down the hallway, you'll find the other two bedrooms and the additional full bath. Start your journey to the outdoors through the 191 sq ft sunroom (not included in the living square footage). This room has so many possibilities - use it as a greenhouse, or add a mini-split and make it a playroom or second living area. Continue on to the garage, which includes laundry hookups, a workshop, and room for one car. It even comes with your very own garage fridge to keep all your adult beverages cold. Out back, there is a covered patio with party lights, multiple covered parking spots, two fenced in yard areas, and an electric gate. Quick access to I35 keeps commutes easy while you enjoy the smalltown charm and vibrant energy that define New Braunfels!
