Description
Step into a true piece of Blanco history at 719 Elm St — a charming cottage originally built in 1931 by the seller’s grandfather and lovingly held within the same family for generations. Rich with character and authenticity, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers 1,232 square feet on a corner lot just a short walk from the Blanco Square. From the moment you arrive, the home’s timeless appeal stands out with its painted original shiplap exterior, welcoming covered front porch, mature trees, and classic Hill Country charm. Inside, beautifully preserved original hardwood floors reflect the craftsmanship and warmth of another era while blending comfortably with thoughtful updates throughout the home.
