New Braunfels, Texas | $295,000

A 1920 cottage with two bedrooms and one bathroom, on a 0.2-acre lot

This house, once part of a church complex, was moved to its current location last year and renovated. New plumbing and electrical systems were installed, and the home was furnished with antique and vintage pieces that are available to buy.

The property is less than a mile from a shopping center with an H-E-B supermarket and about 15 minutes from Gruene Hall, one of the oldest continuously operating dance halls in Texas. Driving to San Antonio takes about 40 minutes. Austin is about an hour away. Houston is a three-hour drive, and Dallas is about four hours away.

Size: 1,185 square feet

Price per square foot: $249

Indoors: The stucco exterior was refreshed during the renovation, and the covered porch is new.

The front door opens into a living room with original hardwood floors and green-painted woodwork. The front of this space is currently set up as a home office; the back is used as a sitting room.

To the left of the entry, through a wide doorway, is a dining room papered in a blue-and-white floral wallcovering. The woodwork and the built-in china cabinet are painted the same green as the trim in the living room.

The dining room and the living room are both connected to a kitchen with blue-gray cabinetry, a Zellige tile backsplash, counters made of butcher block, and a door to the backyard.
