316 Mesquite St This Bertram single-family home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on a sprawling lot, providing the quiet pace of small-town living with the rare advantage of being within walking distance of the historic downtown district. Positioned in the 78605 zip code, this property blends classic Texas Hill Country charm with space to work and room to grow. The main residence is centered around a practical living room and kitchen area. Upstairs, a large unfinished second story serves as a blank canvas, ready to be transformed into a massive game room, additional primary suite, or a quiet home office away from the main living areas. Outside there is a substantial workshop that caters to any trade or hobby. Above this workshop, a separate 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment offers a private living space, perfect for multi-generational needs or a long-term rental. This secondary unit ensures the property remains versatile as your needs change over time. The property is deeply connected to the Bertram community, where morning walks lead straight to the local shops and cafes along Highway 29. Living in Bertram means enjoying a close-knit atmosphere near local landmarks like the historic Globe Theatre and the Bertram Depot. You are a short drive from the natural beauty of Inks Lake and the Balcones Canyonlands, yet only about an hour from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport for travel. Major routes like Highway 29 and FM 1174 provide easy access to nearby Liberty Hill and Burnet. With its massive lot and central location, this home offers a unique lifestyle where you can enjoy the peace of a large yard while staying plugged into the heart of Bertram.
