Melissa Laufer Real Estate has recently unveiled a historic gem in New Braunfels—a stunning 1936 E.B. Flowers masterpiece. This estate, often described as “livable art,” boasts features like museum-grade lighting and unique private island access, all underpinned by rare R-2 zoning.
— The talented Melissa Laufer of Melissa Laufer Real Estate has officially listed a property that stands as one of the most architecturally significant homes in Central Texas. Located at 1049 Allen, New Braunfels, TX 78130, this estate presents an extraordinary opportunity for those looking to invest in a piece of history.
A Convergence of History and Artistry
This property is not merely a house but a testament to the craftsmanship and creativity of its time. Designed by the esteemed San Antonio architect E.B. Flowers, the estate represents a collaboration with master artisan Guenther Hoverstadt, resulting in a home that embodies the essence of 20th-century design. Visitors will find:
- Artisan Lighting: The property features museum-quality custom lighting installations by renowned artists Isaac Maxwell and Martha Mood, including a striking handcrafted ceramic piece that stretches along the back patio.
- Historic Textures: A rich narrative unfolds within its walls, showcasing original herringbone parquet floors, Saltillo tiles, and reclaimed beams thoughtfully sourced from an early-1800s barn.
- Unique Verticality: A split-level primary suite offers a “treetop sanctuary,” complemented by an original rooftop window hatch, providing a unique perspective on the surrounding landscape.
Unrivaled Location and Investment Potential
Situated on one of the largest lots within the desirable Landa Park Estates, this estate comes with a rare R-2 zoning classification. This designation opens the door to numerous possibilities for future development or the creation of an expansive custom legacy estate. The crowning feature is the private island access, granting residents a unique gateway to the natural beauty of the Comal River springs—a characteristic that remains elusive in contemporary listings.
“This isn’t just a home; it’s a living piece of New Braunfels history, preserved with incredible soul,” says Melissa Laufer, the driving force behind Melissa Laufer Real Estate. “Considering the artistic pedigree of the Maxwell lighting and the immense potential stemming from the R-2 zoning on such a vast lot, this property represents a legacy acquisition for the discerning buyer.”
