Live about 10 minutes on foot from Main Street — with a bonus room that has its own front door. This updated 1940s cottage in the heart of Bastrop pairs historic character with a genuinely modern interior, and a flex space most homes at this price simply don't have. The oversized bonus room is heated and cooled by its own mini split and opens to the side yard through a private exterior door — a natural home office, studio, gym, or guest lounge with real separation from the main house. The laundry zone with utility sink lives here too, keeping the main living areas clean and quiet. The kitchen is the heart of the home: white shaker cabinets, quartz counters, subway tile, under-cabinet lighting, and a large two-tone island with comfortable seating for four under glass pendants. New Samsung gas range, microwave, and dishwasher. The deep sink sits under a window facing mature trees — the view you'll actually want to wash dishes for. The primary suite opens directly to a fully renovated bath with a double vanity, marble-look quartz, and a tiled shower with handheld sprayer and frosted privacy window. The second bath is updated with champagne-bronze fixtures. Wood-look flooring, recessed lighting, and ceiling fans throughout; both secondary bedrooms are bright with tree views. Outside, a large oval concrete patio — no boring square here — is a blank canvas awaiting your furniture, fire pit, or string lights, shaded by mature trees. A storage shed and the big, open backyard round it out: room for a garden, play space, or your own fence. Standing-seam metal roof, tankless water heater, double-pane windows, three off-street parking spaces, and no HOA. Stroll to historic downtown Bastrop's shops and restaurants, the Colorado River, and the new Sendero development with Chuy's and Texas Roadhouse. 1940s charm, thoughtfully updated for today — in the location everyone asks for.
