THE GRUEN HAUS - Step into a timeless treasure with the Doebbler/Gruen Haus, an enchanting early pioneer stone home that captures the very spirit of Hill Country history and craftsmanship. Built in the late 1800s, this lovingly restored homestead invites you to experience the magic of a bygone era, nestled gracefully beneath towering century-old oaks and surrounded by breathtaking landscaping. Every corner of this majestic home tells a story. The main residence offers three (3) spacious bedrooms and 2.5 elegantly updated bathrooms, including a stunning reimagined master suite on the main floor. The master suite features a spa-like ensuite bathroom featuring double vanities, a classic clawfoot tub, and a generous walk-in shower—all set against exquisite hand-hewn stone floors. Step beyond the bathroom into a soaring high-ceiling walk-in room, a luxurious dressing sanctuary with custom cabinetry designed for flawless organization. The heart of the home, a charming country kitchen, dazzles with beaded board ceilings, custom cabinetry, and rich Brazilian soapstone countertops. A deep soapstone farmhouse sink sits beneath a picturesque bay window, framing serene views of the lush front yard and majestic oak tree. Top-tier appliances, including a Bosch dishwasher, Sub-Zero fridge, and Wolf gas range, blend seamlessly with the historic ambiance.
