2016 Brunello New Braunfels, TX 78132

Every so often, a home captures the rare balance between sophistication, comfort, and the unmistakable charm of Hill Country living. 2016 Brunello is that home-a French-inspired masterpiece by T.A. French Custom Homes, completed in 2020 and privately set on 1.56 wooded acres in the prestigious Vintage Oaks at the Vineyard community. Offering approximately 3,679 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, this residence blends timeless design with modern innovation. Since purchasing in 2023, the current owner has elevated every corner of the property with high-end upgrades, including a reimagined fireplace featuring new artisan tile, faux gas logs, and an electric starter; fresh designer wallpaper and updated entry tile; and a full suite of new designer light fixtures that create a consistent, elevated ambiance throughout. The heart of the home is the chef's kitchen, showcasing GE Cafe appliances, Benedettini cabinetry, quartz counters, a disappearing downdraft vent, and a catering-style pantry perfect for entertaining. The open living area flows effortlessly to a screened-in back patio-an expansive outdoor retreat with epoxy-coated flooring, ample space for dining or lounging, and tranquil views of the surrounding oaks. Beyond lies a newly added sparkling pool, custom fire pit, and professionally landscaped backyard framed by a substantial retaining wall and native greenery, offering both privacy and elegance. Inside, the spacious primary suite provides a serene escape with a spa-style bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a large walk-through shower, while the additional bedrooms are generous in size and flexible in use. A serene reading room provides the perfect spot for reflection or creativity, and a walk-in attic offers abundant storage with easy access. The oversized, epoxied three-car garage is a dream for the enthusiast-complete with a garage sink, 220-volt plug, and a custom pull-down screen door over the smaller bay for year-round usability. Beyond beauty, this home is built for efficiency and peace of mind. Energy features include a 27-panel Tesla solar array with microinverters, a 14 kW Tesla backup battery, a dual high SEER heat pump with emergency heat, dual propane tankless water heaters, and full spray-foam insulation-all contributing to remarkable comfort and low utility costs. Vintage Oaks residents enjoy resort-style pools, a fitness center, clubhouse, tennis and sports courts, and miles of walking trails, making it the perfect combination of private living and community connection. Located within a highly rated school district and offering easy access to the best of New Braunfels-from shopping and dining to Canyon Lake and San Antonio-this home delivers the ideal Hill Country lifestyle. Elegant yet inviting, refined yet relaxed, 2016 Brunello is a turn-key sanctuary where craftsmanship meets convenience, every upgrade is intentional, and every day feels like a retreat.
