Tucked beneath the shade of mature oaks in the heart of New Braunfels, this thoughtfully updated one-story retreat offers space, serenity, and standout upgrades-just minutes from downtown and the Guadalupe River. Right under a 1/3-acre lot, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home has been meticulously maintained and enhanced with modern comforts and timeless style. White oak flooring in main areas of home, while engineered wood flooring throughout all bedrooms. A freshly remodeled primary bath and updated kitchen bring contemporary touches where it counts. The kitchen features stylish backsplash, updated lighting, soft-close cabinetry, and a butcher block accent that adds warmth and charm. Functionality meets peace of mind with major system upgrades: a 20 SEER HVAC system and furnace (2022) with smart thermostat, roof (2022), and a water heater also replaced in 2022. Attic insulation has been reinforced with added batts for energy efficiency, and gas service was extended to both the kitchen and back deck, perfect for future outdoor entertaining. Enjoy year-round relaxation in the screened and windowed sun room, or unwind on the back deck overlooking your private sanctuary. A mini-split system keeps the garage cool, and a shed out back adds handy storage space. Inside, a wood-burning fireplace with gas starter, Bahama shutters, and pre-plumbed wet bar area round out the charm. With top-rated schools, no HOA, and a location that feels both central and secluded, this home offers the rare blend of lifestyle and location-wrapped in comfort and ready to enjoy. This is where your next chapter begins!
