Charming Corner-Lot Gem in the Heart of Seguin! Welcome to 238 Short Avenue — a cozy, character-filled 3-bedroom, 2-bath home nestled on a spacious .47-acre corner lot shaded by mature trees and just steps from the local elementary school. This home offers timeless charm, modern updates, and plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy the slower, more relaxed pace of life in Seguin. From the moment you arrive, the inviting front porch and quaint exterior set the tone for what’s inside: original wood floors, antique glass doorknobs, and beautiful original woodwork that reflect the warmth and craftsmanship of another era. The layout features a split floor plan with a generously sized living area—perfect for gathering or quiet evenings at home.
Step out back and enjoy the screened-in, covered back porch, ideal for morning coffee or winding down in the evenings. The fenced yard offers several outdoor living spaces, including a play area, chicken coop, and plenty of room for gardening or entertaining.
Notable updates include a newer roof (2021), new PVC piping in the primary bath (2022) fresh interior and exterior paint (2023), privacy fence (2024), new porch railing (2025), newer ceilings fans and shower door in the primary bath.
And don’t miss the versatile workshop—a separate building on the property with potential to become a guest house, studio, or additional dwelling unit.
Located just minutes from downtown Seguin, Texas Lutheran University, and with the elementary school right across the street, this home offers small-town charm, convenience, and a unique blend of vintage character and everyday comfort.
Schedule your showing today and come experience the warmth and personality of 238 Short Avenue—homes like this don’t come around often!
