This charming older home, built in 1950, offers 1,052 square feet of potential and sits on a spacious half-acre lot right in the heart of town. While it needs some updating and repairs, it appears to have good bones and plenty of character — the kind of solid home that just needs someone with a vision. The location couldn’t be better, directly across the street from the elementary school and just down the road from the beloved Dairy Treat restaurant, with other dining options, shopping, and grocery stores nearby. There’s plenty of space for a future shop, extra parking, or outdoor projects. Conveniently located within 30 minutes of Cuero, Gonzales, Shiner (home of Shiner Brewery), Edna, and Hallettsville, and just about two hours from Houston, Corpus Christi, San Antonio, and Austin, this property is ideal for an investor looking for a rental, a first-time homebuyer ready to make it their own, or someone looking to downsize into small-town living with room to grow.
