A quintessential 1949 cottage, in the charming small town of Burton, is offered with the vintage character intact! A rare find with pine floors, ship lap, bead board walls and a claw foot tub! 2-1 with a large eat-in kitchen (pink stove does not stay) and a cozy living room. There's an indoor utility area (washer and dryer stays) and a screened porch overlooking a pastoral view. Did I mention pecan trees and a black walnut tree? A metal roof with extended eaves and expanded back porch was added along with pex plumbing all the way to the street. Exterior painted with rotten wood being replaced. Repairs performed by professionals within the last 3 years. New brass faucet in tub installed in July 2021. Cottage is perfectly located halfway between Houston and Austin, and about 10-15 minutes to Carmine, Round Top or Brenham. Seller to retain all mineral rights.
