Overview

§ 01

Exceptional income-producing opportunity in the heart of downtown Brenham. Originally built circa 1886, this beautifully restored historic home blends timeless character with modern updates and multiple income possibilities. Renovated in 2010, the home features long-leaf pine floors, soaring ceilings, a spacious family room addition, large upstairs bedrooms, and a rare built-in elevator.

The detached carriage house apartment (1 bed, 1 bath above the garage) offers a separate rental opportunity, ideal for long-term or short-term income. Both the main home and apartment are well-suited for STR or owner-occupied income strategies.

All just steps from Historic Downtown Brenham and Brazos Valley Brewery, with walkable shopping, dining, and entertainment. A rare chance to own a historic property that offers charm, flexibility, and strong income potential.

MUD Disclosure (§49.452)

§ 03 · Data moat
● §49.452 Notice
Not in archive
This MUD is not yet in our §49.452 archive. We'll add it on request.

Texas Water Code §49.452 requires districts to publish annual notices with tax rate, bonded indebtedness, and assessed value. Most Harris-area MUDs publish these; a handful managed by Inframark do not.

Request this notice
● What this tells you

The §49.452 notice is the only public document that lists a MUD's exact tax rate, outstanding bond debt, and the assessed value used to compute your taxes — direct from the district, not the MLS. If the district is newer or has more bonds outstanding than its neighbors, your effective tax rate will be higher here than just across the street.
