451 Butterfly Bush Ct

New Braunfels, TX 78130
$385,000
5 Bed 3 Bath 2,533 sqft $152/sqft Built 2021 0.32 acres 2-Car Garage Pool Heather Glen

Five bedrooms, the primary suite on the main level, and a game room

Upstairs, sitting on a third-acre cul-de-sac lot with no rear neighbors.

Built in 2021 and still tight, this 2,533 square foot two-story was laid

out for households that need real separation. The primary suite is

downstairs and private, with an attached flex nook that works as a home

office, nursery, or dressing area. Four more bedrooms and a second living

area sit upstairs, giving teens, guests, or extended family their own

floor and their own bath.

The kitchen opens straight into the main living space: granite counters,

subway tile backsplash, stainless appliances, and cabinet storage that

does not run out in month three.

The lot is the real story. At 0.32 acres, it is close to double what most

new construction in this price band is sitting on, it backs to open

space, and the cul-de-sac means almost no through traffic. Room for a

pool, a shop, a covered patio, or all three.

HOA is $33 a month. Five minutes to Gruene, Creekside Shopping, and I-35

for the Austin or San Antonio commute.

At $152/sqft, this home is 44% below the New Braunfels active market average of $270/sqft, potentially representing value relative to comparable properties currently on the market. View Austin market report →
