Step into New Braunfels history with this distinguished 1881 Texas German Heritage estate, offering approximately 2,624 square feet of preserved architectural character on nearly 0.7 acres adjacent to the Comal River. Built during the city's formative German settlement period, this residence reflects the craftsmanship, scale, and charm that define the area's most treasured historic homes. Classic double story porches, original longleaf pine floors, tall sash windows, and hand built millwork showcase the home's 19th century authenticity. The traditional central hall layout designed for natural light and ventilation anchors generous formal living and dining spaces, four spacious bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a kitchen ready for thoughtful restoration or modern enhancements. With its substantial footprint, historic character, and premier location, the property offers exceptional versatility equally suited for continued use as a single family residence or thoughtfully envisioned as a bed and breakfast or other heritage inspired retreat (buyer to verify permitted uses). Outdoors, mature oaks envelop the sweeping lawn, while stone pathways and a historic outdoor hearth echo the property's century old legacy. The wide porches capture Hill Country breezes and provide serene views of the estate like grounds. Located along one of New Braunfels' most historic corridors and within walking distance to downtown and the Comal River, this property presents a rare opportunity to own and steward a meaningful piece of local heritage. Whether preserved as is or reimagined with a modern touch, this 1881 estate embodies the enduring beauty and architectural legacy of early New Braunfels.
