418 Elm St,Seguin,TX,78155

Presenting one of Seguin's most magnificent homes, 418 E Elm St has a rich history, beginning with the 1910 design by renowned Texas architect, Atlee Ayers. Original features are intact, from the brass pull door bell, to the signed, framed blueprint of this well preserved treasure hanging in the grand foyer. Upon entry, you will be captivated by the gleaming longleaf pine floors and hand carved doors, frames, crown molding, stair railings, brass hardware, light fixtures and stained glass. A study and a gracious living room each with carved mantled fireplaces and high pocket doors are on either side of the grand foyer. The dining room is large and bright with beautiful windows. The kitchen is simply wonderful, full of charm and modern function. Breathtaking, soaring, carved neoclassical columns support and frame the wide wrap around porches three stories high. There are three spacious bedrooms on the second floor, two with on suite bathrooms, another bathroom in the hall, and an arched doorway to the wrap around balcony. The third floor offers a fourth bathroom, plenty of storage and more bedroom options. Both upper floors have expansive balconies with views of the tree tops and beyond, including a bird's eye of the fourth of July fireworks show. There is even a partial basement, newly freshened and can work well for a wine storage, or a large extra storage space. The original carriage house two levels high and a smoke house with stained glass windows are intact on the more than half acre corner lot. In the early 90's, the home underwent an extensive restoration and full remodel including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, all baths and kitchen. Original architectural features remain. The roof was replaced one year ago, along with both water heaters and one AC unit. One of the best things about this home is the location, nestled in the heart of Seguin's historic homes, brand new Bauer park and walkable to all that our vibrant downtown has to offer.
