Built in 1928 and reborn in 2024, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home in Bastrop’s historic district delivers the thing that almost never comes together: nearly a century of character with none of the century-old headaches. The sellers put roughly $150,000 into an extensive remodel, taking on the kitchen, flooring, and both bathrooms, replacing the deck, and installing a new HVAC system. PEX plumbing was replaced in 2021. Carpet and paint are fresh throughout, so the work is done and the punch list is somebody else’s memory.
At 1,850 square feet, the floor plan lives larger than the number suggests. A generous upstairs family room gives you the second living space that most homes in this price range and this neighborhood simply do not have: a media room, a home office, a playroom, or a guest retreat, whatever the season of life calls for. The deck extends the living space outdoors and is built for slow mornings and long evenings.
Parking is a rarity here. A 2-car garage plus a 2-car carport means four covered spaces, room for the truck and the project car, and no negotiating over the driveway.
Best of all is the address itself. You are four blocks from Main Street and the restaurants, shops, galleries, and river that make downtown Bastrop what it is. Homes in the historic district trade on location and character. This one adds a full mechanical and cosmetic refresh, which is what separates a charming old house from a home you can actually move into on day one.
