The historic 1913 Barnwell House offers a rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved mixed-use landmark overlooking the Johnson City courthouse square

Positioned directly on the iconic Johnson City courthouse square, the historic 1913 Barnwell House presents a rare opportunity to own one of the community’s most recognizable and versatile properties. Rich in local history and timeless architectural character, this beautifully preserved landmark offers the unique advantage of both residential and commercial zoning, creating endless possibilities for use as a private residence, boutique bed & breakfast, art gallery, professional office, event space, or investment property in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.

Set on a spacious 0.31 acre corner lot shaded by mature oak trees, the 2,160+/- square foot home immediately captures attention with its classic early-1900s architecture, wraparound porch, metal roof, and prominent setting overlooking the courthouse square. Inside, the home seamlessly blends historic charm with thoughtful modern updates. Original longleaf pine wood floors, the grand staircase, original front door, soaring ceilings, and intricate millwork all speak to the craftsmanship of the era, while abundant natural light enhances the inviting atmosphere throughout.

The interior features 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, an upstairs office area, and an additional bonus room, providing flexibility for both residential living and commercial functionality. One of the home’s most distinctive features is the double-sided fireplace shared between the dining room and primary bedroom, adding warmth and character rarely found in today’s homes. Multiple living and gathering spaces create an ideal layout for entertaining guests, operating a business, or simply enjoying everyday life within a historically significant setting.

The spacious kitchen offers generous cabinetry, updated appliances, and charming architectural details, while large windows throughout the home frame views of the courthouse square and surrounding oak trees. Recent upgrades, including a new roof, air conditioning system, water heater, water softener, and additional improvements, provide peace of mind while preserving the integrity and character of the property.

Outside, the expansive backyard offers a private, park-like setting beneath towering oaks, complete with a detached storage building equipped with EV charging capability — an increasingly valuable feature for modern residential or commercial use. With its prime courthouse square location, exceptional visibility, rich history, and flexible zoning, the Barnwell House stands as a truly unique offering within Johnson City and the rapidly growing Texas Hill Country.
