Description
BE ONE OF THE FIRST TO SEE AT OUR OPEN HOUSES - SATURDAY 10 am - 2 pm and SUNDAY 11 am to 2 pm! RARE OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE OR WORK AFFORDABLY ON NEARLY HALF AN ACRE WITHOUT AN HOA & ALSO ZONED COMMERCIAL, SO VERY NEAR ALL THE ACTION IN NEW BRAUNFELS AND GRUENE! This adorable craftsman home looks like Chip and Joanna live here inside and out -- from the little things like the galvanized pipe floating shelves throughout to the big things like the huge renovated country kitchen! Let's start with location -- tucked just off I-35 south of FM 306, it is just 5 minutes to the river at Gruene and 6 minutes to downtown. A perfect blend of historic and modern greets you from the street with such surprises inside. Step up to a welcoming front porch with bench to sit, sip your coffee and watch the world go by. Inside, gleaming original wood floors coordinate well with wood look tile and the space in every room will amaze you. Awash with natural light from so many windows, the open floor plan wisely uses elements to dedicate the spaces, like an original half wall cabinet that seamlessly separates living and dining. The centerpiece kitchen is the focal point, however, with its 8 by 5 foot island with storage on one side and bar stools on the other. Granite counter tops, plenty of updated cabinetry, stainless appliances, sleek hardware and window over the sink are what you can see but there is more to appreciate -- like the walk-in pantry with its floating galvanized shelves and recipe nook tucked off into one corner that leads to a smart and adorable mudroom space with shelving, hooks and bench. The primary bedroom, split from the other bedroom wing, is a true luxury. Let's start with the size -- 19 by 14 -- offering plenty of room for much more than simply a bed. Plus, a 6 by 5 foot nook skillfully set off in a corner is perfect for an office for those who must work at home. Beadboard accent gives character to the modern feel. Step from here into the closet and you won't believe what you find; at 12 by 10 it is another room unto itself with a full wardrobe system that is both attractive and supremely functional. The utility closet is tucked away here as well for a brilliant use of space. If you thought that was the piece de resistance, think again, because the bathroom is fit for a queen! Warmed by natural light from two angles, it welcomes in a way you never want to leave. At 16 by 12 there is plenty of room for everything here without feeling crowded. Vanities adorned with pottery barn storage mirrors and sleek lighting start the tour. Step into a subway tile shower with frameless glass or soak for hours in your standing tub with TV on a swivel mount. The secondary bedrooms across the home don't disappoint either as they, like the rest of the house, offer more space than you hoped for and share a gorgeously renovated bathroom with more designer touches. Now, outside the treat continues with your nearly half acre, level backyard -- a true wonderland, shaded by pecan trees and fully fenced. The 22 by 10 foot deck offers so much space to sit and relax. Below find a fire pit to sit around with friends while the kids play on the playscape. An outbuilding on one side with a window is finished out, serving now as an office but easily could work as a casita, craft room or gym. A huge metal workshop at the back of the yard has two doors and is ideal for hobbyist or someone who needs it for an at home business. Another large metal shed offers storage. Finally, the chickens will be so happy in their fully outfitted coop set off in the side yard. All this in coveted Comal ISD, of course and, with no HOA, your use is only governed by city ordinances. It is also zoned C-3 commercial if you plan to run a business here! Hurry to come see it and you'll know it is more than you ever dreamed of having, especially at this price!
