Bungalow on Botts - Brenham

About This Space
Wake to birdsong on a classic Texas front porch, steps from downtown Brenham's coffee shops, wine bars, boutiques, and live music. A renovated 2-bedroom bungalow pairs original hardwood floors with spa-style finishes, offering a sophisticated home base for couples exploring wine country, attending weddings, or escaping for a weekend of antique hunting and fine dining.

The Space
Slip into one of two Adirondack chairs on the front porch and watch the neighborhood wake up. Inside, light floods through large windows onto gleaming hardwood floors that run throughout the home. The renovated bungalow blends period character with modern comfort: a tufted king bed in the primary suite, room darkening shades in the queen bedroom for post-celebration sleep-ins, and a walk-in shower with LED back-lit mirrors in the shared bathroom.

Primary Bedroom - King
Natural light fills this bedroom through generous windows, illuminating neutral tones and plush bedding on a king bed with a tufted headboard. A loveseat creates a reading nook. Two nightstands flank the bed, each with USB charging ports. White noise machines help mask street sounds or a partner's snoring. After a day of wine tasting or exploring Round Top antiques, sink into comfort and rest.

Secondary Bedroom - Queen
Rich patterned linens and warm textures define this second bedroom. A queen bed sits beneath soft lighting, with mirrors that amplify the space. Room darkening shades block morning sun for those who need to sleep in. USB charging and white noise machines match the primary suite's amenities.

Bathroom
Both bedrooms share a bathroom with spa-like touches: a spacious walk-in shower, double vanity topped with quartz, and an LED back-lit mirror that provides flattering light for getting ready.

Kitchen
Granite countertops anchor a kitchen built for leisurely breakfast prep and evening entertaining. A breakfast nook with barstool seating for two provides a spot to linger over morning coffee or quick bites. Full-size appliances include a gas range, refrigerator, and microwave. A dual coffeemaker (both Keurig and traditional drip pot) sits beside a toaster, rice cooker, crockpot, and Ninja blender. Complete barware and an electric wine opener wait for evening tastings of your winery finds. You’ll also find plenty of bakeware for turning your farmer’s market haul into tonight’s feast.

Living Room
The heart of the home opens to natural light through large windows. A sectional sofa and accent chairs provide ample seating, draped with throw blankets for quiet evenings. A Smart TV handles streaming (bring your login credentials). Cabinets below the TV hold board games and a curated library of bestsellers. The space flows into a dining area with room for lingering over meals and making plans for your next Brenham adventure.

Outdoor Spaces

Front Porch
Two large Adirondack chairs face the quiet street, perfect for morning coffee with the newspaper or evening wine while watching Texas sunsets.

Side Patio
Four chairs circle a small table on the side patio, creating an outdoor spot for cards, conversation, or an afternoon of cheese, wine and good company.

Backyard
A private backyard offers space to unwind after long days hunting down antiques, finding that perfect brew at the beer fest, or easing out of your dancing shoes at your college roommate’s wedding. Toss beanbags in a cornhole game or settle into the Texas evening air and kick your boots off.

Location
Quaint Downtown Brenham is steps from the front door. You can walk to restaurants, wine bars, coffee shops, and boutiques in under five minutes.

Round Top (23 miles) transforms from a town of 90 residents into the largest antiques fair in the country each spring and fall. Over 100,000 shoppers descend on barns, tents, and hayfields stretched across 11 miles of Highway 237. The Big Red Barn, Blue Hills, and dozens of other venues filled with European antiques, vintage finds, and Texas art. Spring shows (March-April) coincide with peak bluebonnet season when wildflowers blanket the countryside.

The area hosts world-class weddings at pastoral venues like Festival Hill, Liesel Farm, Deep in the Heart Farms, and The Compound. Rolling green hills, ancient oak trees, and European-inspired architecture create the backdrop for celebrations minutes from town.
Local wineries dot the landscape 4 to 10 miles out. Haak Winery downtown offers the world's first video-mapping wine tasting experience. Chapelton Vineyards pours estate wines with Hill Country sunset views. Texas Star Winery in Chappell Hill (8 miles) crafts unique hibiscus wine alongside traditional varietals. 36 North Vineyard pairs tastings with homemade desserts under a century-old oak tree.

Brenham's German heritage comes alive during Maifest (first weekend in May), the oldest festival in Texas, with parades, authentic food, and beer gardens at Fireman's Park. The Washington County Fair (September), Texas's oldest county fair, brings rodeo and live music. The Texas Arts & Music Festival (October) fills downtown with live murals, concerts, and art vendors. Monthly events include the Uptown Swirl Wine Walk (January), Summer Sip wine stroll (June), and Hot Nights Cool Tunes concerts on the courthouse square (July). And don’t forget the iconic Christmas Stroll with its lighted parade.

Brenham Quality Meat Market and Dan's Meat Market provide fresh cuts from local sources. And don’t forget our local farmers market, running on the first Friday of the month.

Practical Details
A washer and dryer handles extended stays in the garage and gives you a spot to keep your muddy festival boots. Central heating and cooling keeps the house comfortable through Texas’ extremes.. Wi-Fi reaches every room for remote work or streaming. Smart TVs throughout (no cable subscription, but loaded with apps for your logins).

Extended stays receive tiered discounts: 5% for 4-6 nights, 10% for a week, up to 25% for monthly stays. Stays over 14 nights include complimentary professional cleaning every two weeks.

Three outdoor security cameras monitor the exterior: one at the front door, one facing the driveway, and one in the backyard. They record when motion is detected.

Garage access is available for storing your antiques during the festival. We do ask that you do NOT bring your treasures into the main home as they can be a bit grubby before you’ve had a chance to polish them up and make them yours.
