This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home sits in the established Dove Crossing neighborhood, where neighbors know each other and community amenities like the pool, basketball court, and walking trails are a short stroll away. The main level has an easy, open flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas, while upstairs you’ll find all the bedrooms plus a flexible loft that can work as a family room, game room, or home office. Wood-look laminate floors extend through the main living spaces and bedrooms, with carpet limited to the stairwell, replaced in October 2025. A covered patio opens to the backyard, giving you the perfect starting point to create your ideal backyard retreat. From here, you can walk to Fischer Park with its fishing ponds, splash pad, and trails, or hop on your bike to downtown New Braunfels for local dining, shopping, and live music. Historic Gruene, the rivers, and Bandit Golf Club are just minutes away; there’s something for everyone. Commuters and students will appreciate being just 30 minutes from both San Marcos and San Antonio, with Texas State University, major employers, and quick IH-35 access all within easy reach. Zoned to New Braunfels ISD, this home is a smart choice for families, investors, or anyone looking for a vacation property that’s close to the rivers and local attractions, without being in the middle of the tourism bustle.
