There is room here to make the property your own while still being close enough to walk into downtown for dinner, shopping, or one of Elgin’s many festivals. With its combination of historic charm, thoughtful updates, oversized lot, native landscaping, and an unbeatable location near the heart of downtown, 302 E. Brenham offers exceptional value at its new price of $280,000.
