Property Detail

Description

Rare opportunity to own a piece of Boerne history is here! Built in the late 1800's, this unique home on 1.41 fenced acres sits on the edge of town. Large rooms with original hardwood floors, shiplap wood and beam ceilings with rock interior walls are only part of its charm. Once used as a stagecoach stop and a racetrack during prohibition, the fascinating history will intrigue all your guests. While not listed on the historic registry, this two-story gem has been partially restored and updated with keeping the original beauty intact. Downstairs you will find two large living areas, both with wood burning fireplaces and a designated dining area with an Italian crystal chandelier, Down the hall are two bedrooms and a renovated bathroom with walk in shower, vessel sinks and pressed tin ceilings. A large covered porch awaits you in the separately fenced backyard, great for entertaining or bird watching birds in your two beautiful pecan trees. A separate solid rock building, thought to have been used as a jail cell for the stagecoach stop, was also used as a betting window during prohibition. Oh...did we mention the basement? Yes, this house has a basement with a hidden stairway! Upstairs you will find 3 large rooms and a full bath. Pine floors and knotty pine walls and ceilings give a rustic flare and decor. Updates include wiring, newer electrical panel, PVC and Pex plumbing in addition to the original galvanized lines. New custom-made double hung insulated tilt windows for easy cleaning, spray foam insulation throughout the attic for low utility costs, newer HVAC upstairs and lots of attic and storage space. Two conventional septic systems service the house and were recently pumped and serviced. Outside is a large storage workshop with updated wiring and panel with separate electric meter/service and BEC fiberoptics. Finish out as a man cave, she-shed, or office-the possibilities are endless. Location is easy to access I-10, downtown Boerne, HEB and restaurants, and exemplary Boerne ISD schools.
