Property Description
Originally built in 1865 by H.C. Hodde, 404 College Avenue is a beautifully restored historic home where timeless architecture and thoughtful modern updates come together with exceptional care. Set on more than half an acre in town, this rare property offers the character, scale, and outdoor space so often sought but seldom found in the heart of Brenham. Per the owner, the home now offers approximately 2,463 square feet and has been meticulously renovated while preserving the warmth and craftsmanship of its historic origins. Original hardwood floors have been refinished both downstairs and upstairs, with crown molding, shiplap ceilings and walls, updated window trim, new sash cords, and fresh paint honoring the home’s period character. Major improvements include updated plumbing and electrical, added insulation, tankless water heater, new lighting, renovated kitchen, updated baths, and improved garage. The upstairs bonus room with full bath and Victorian turret offers flexible living.
