Most cooking tools are hung above the range. 50 coffee mugs to the left of the fridge. The many glasses are in the upper cabinets to the right and left of the big microwave. The dishes are on the right side to the left of the oven. The pantry is near fully stocked. Lots of paper plates etc to the left of the fridge, upper cabinet. I purchased 1472 on July 2 2026 so all appliances etc. are new.

The master bedroom has a king size 4 poster bed, arguably the heaviest bed in Texas. There are 3 queens in the other 3 bedrooms, and 2 twin bunk beds that sleep 4 in the heated and AC garage, for the younger set, with a small fridge and TV. So I comfortably sleep 12, with 2 full bathrooms inside, including the master bath. not adequate I know, so there are 2 outside showers .. hot and cold water.. on the back deck that drain to the yard. a beautiful view of Texas Hill Country as you shower. Please use the biodegradable soap there. New 65" Vizio TV in the living room, and 2 new TVs in the master bedroom and the garage.

BACK DECK AND PATIO is 500 sq ft that seats 42 at 7 dinner tables. The 4 canopies above shield you from the sun's rays. USA and Texas flags hang off the back rail facing north, and on the front porch as well. The flags are in the deck closet across from the master bedroom entry. If you fly them, please remember to put them back on exit .

4-person hot tub and two 24 ft long steps leading down to the back lawn for more seating. 15+ BBQ utensils hang around the large Kitchen Aid propane grill. 2 red white and blue coolers, 2 outside showers. Please rinse before entering hot tub. The inside closet for back deck stuff and tools and light bulbs and vacuum and Swiffer is to the left of the master bedroom entry, + 2 blow up swimming pools with a pump and an electric balloon inflator on the top shelf. 2 expansion leafs for the big middle table on the deck. If you use the 2 leafs, Please put them back in this deck closet when you exit. If you use the leafs, 1st unscrew the vertical 1x2 that supports the canopy, that is screwed into the back of that table. There's an electric driver in the same deck closet.

PRIVACY makes my home unique. To the right, from the street, is a 50 ft common area with a sidewalk down to the park below my back lawn, with the kids big gym to the right. Across the street, i.e. across Lake Ridge Drive, there's 30 more feet of common area with no homes. It's a public street that's seldom traveled because of the dynamics of my immediate neighborhood. So guest parking is plentiful. Please do not park to the right/ East of that common area sidewalk to my right. Thank you.

QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD. Vintage Farms is a tight knit community with good neighbors. At the suggestion of VRBO, I've spoken to several neighbors who are fine with my event home. They have my cell to call me if there's too much noise. Please respect their privacy. No parties other than the quiet dinner kind Inside or on the back deck. No loud music. All quiet after 9 pm. These are house rules. Please leave my home as you found it when you arrived. Except of course the unmade beds and used baths. Be accurate in naming your # of guests.

Except for the 2 new queen beds that are all wood with no particle board.. and the garage furniture I brought from my last home, I purchased everything from Higgins South Thrift store in Brenham. The beneficiary is FaithMission.us, a Brenham based non-profit who (1) successfully lends the homeless a hand up vs a handout .. many of our thrift staffers came from the street .. and (2) helps youngsters who are denied opportunity because of a difficult living environment, our SMART mission. Science, Math, Art, Reading, and Teamwork. I volunteer at Faith Mission.

I call my Brenham home the House of Lamps, 32 of them, most with Green Dots, see below. Many generous residents of Washington County donate special things to our Faith Mission thrift. We are the town that gives back. Cannery Kitchen on Alamo and Faith Mission is the heart of that.

My furniture and decor from the FM Thrift will take you back to a time of American ingenuity and craftsmanship. The pictures speak for themselves.

My goal is to warmly welcome you to my Brenham home, where guests can gather in privacy to celebrate their faith, family, tradition and fond memories of times past. Simpler times when kitchen and faith were central to the home. Karla picks fresh Texas wildflowers for your arrival. Bluebonnets when in season.

Family reunions, wedding parties and church events etc. are welcome. There is a small amphitheater in the backyard with a podium spot for your speaker, with seating on the back deck and stairs, and stone- timber flats for standing room below the steps. The 6-acre park below me and the Texas Hill Country view beyond is spectacular. On the horizon at 1 o'clock is the main house of a traditional Texas Ranch. The Texas evening skies are inspiring, forever protected. Usually there is a fine Texas breeze prevailing from the south and west. The seating on the East and the West side of my house is cooler, as the prevailing Texas winds cool both sides.

Karla is my cleaner and co-host to call when I'm away. She can probably find whatever it is that you need: local babysitters, chefs, local services, a barbecue or a taco truck , additional cleaning, a church you may like as she is a devout Christian, most anything. She cares.

OPTIONAL GIVING Inside are many special pieces from Faith Mission's thrift. when you leave, please take 1 or 2 having round green stickers (most everything except the furniture and kitchen staples) as a remembrance of your visit to Brenham. Donate to your favorite charity the minimum $ amount written on the green sticker, or more. Or donate to FaithMission.us . Message me what you've taken so I can replenish, and $ amt donated, to what charity. Or for your anonymity, have your charity contact me upon your donation.

We are mostly Blessed. So many are not. Thank you.
