About 428 China St
Welcome to a piece of Texas history nestled along the tranquil banks of the Guadalupe River. This stunning retreat, steeped in the rich tapestry of the Lone Star State's past, invites you to own a slice of heritage dating back to 1879. Immaculately restored to its former glory, this historic home exudes timeless elegance and modern comfort. Step inside to discover a meticulously updated kitchen adorned with longleaf pine floors salvaged from one of the last homes standing during the days of The Alamo. These same exquisite floors grace the expansive family room and master bedroom, where original cypress timber from the hayloft of the original barn adds a rustic charm. Preserving its authentic charm, the formal living and study areas boast original floors and beaded board walls and ceilings, transporting you back to the bygone era of its inception. With 3,500 square feet of living space, including 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, this residence effortlessly combines historic allure with modern convenience. The barn, once a utilitarian structure, now resembles a captivating Irish Pub, offering the perfect sanctuary for relaxation and entertainment. Upstairs, a charming bunk room and bathroom provide additional accommodations for guests, ensuring every visitor feels at home. Adding to its mystique, a circa 1920s Barber Shop, rumored to have been frequented by President Lyndon Johnson, was relocated to the property from nearby Kerrville. Now transformed into a cozy guest house, it serves as a testament to the illustrious past of this remarkable estate. Nestled on 4.77 acres of picturesque land, this property boasts 250 feet of prime Guadalupe River frontage, offering an idyllic setting for outdoor recreation and relaxation. A beautiful outdoor seating area by the river beckons you to unwind and savor the tranquil beauty of the surrounding landscape. Whether you seek a retreat from the bustle of modern life or yearn to immerse yourself in the storied past of Texas, this historic Guadalupe River Retreat promises a lifestyle of unparalleled charm and sophistication.
