Summary:
Welcome to Vino Vida, a large & gorgeous German historic bungalow home built in 1925 surrounded by large pecan trees and a huge, fenced in yard, just blocks from Main Street. Enjoy a cool plunge in the new cowboy pool and relax in the hot tub or gather around the fire pit where you’ll often hear live music from nearby Hondo’s on Main. A huge covered front porch and gorgeous Gazebo invites you into old world charm. In the living room, you’ll find the original wood floors, newly refinished.
The Space:
In the master suite, you’ll find a surround sound music/theater system with plenty of space for you and/or friends to enjoy. An entire upstairs built in the old German style, with an original clawfoot tub, another king sized bed and two full-sized bunk beds (with one additional roll-out) await your guests. Brand new LED lighting and ceiling fans make for a cozy, comfortable experience. Every bed has ideal reading lights and personal charging stations. Enjoy local wine and meals together at the large butcher block dining table overlooking the back patio just off the old style fully furnished kitchen. This adorable kitchen has everything you need, including all stainless steel appliances - two ovens, a large refrigerator, microwave, wine refrigerator, small dishwasher, and plenty of appliances to serve up your favorite meal. (The beautiful large fireplace is no longer in use but was originally used for cooking and heating the house). The garage has a 240V/50A fast charge station, so bring your Tesla or other EV! Vino Vida sits in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance or short drive to coffee shops, restaurants, live music, boutique art and merchant stores, museums, wineries, and the new Grand Central at Milam (two blocks away).
