Mid Century Modern Luxury in the Heart of the Hill Country
This special little home was a gift to me from my dad and reimagined as a project of love in memory of Blanche, his mother, for whom the house is named. She was mother to 3 sons, the youngest being my dad, Fuzzy. She was affectionately known as Mom to her 9 grandchildren. Her memory lives on in this special space…..
Located only 1 block from the courthouse square, and across the street from the Lutie Watkins Methodist Church where my parents were married, one can hear the courthouse clock chime and see friendly neighbors walking by. No need for an Uber…..just walk to town for shopping, dining, or adult libations! Or walk across the Llano River Bridge and view a beautiful sunset on the Llano River! If staying home appeals, just enjoy a relaxing evening on Blanche’s large back deck which also offers a lovely sunset view. There is also a backyard fire pit for cool evening conversations.
This home has been designed and extensively renovated to bring in natural light with floor to ceiling windows in the living room and master bedroom. It features hardwood floors, exposed beams in the large living, dining and kitchen area with a fully furnished state of the art kitchen. Two Queen bedrooms share a spacious shower bath. On the opposite side of the house is the King master bedroom and bath featuring both a shower, a freestanding tub, and a large walk in closet.
I invite you to be my guest and experience my “Happy House!” You will not be disappointed!

Newly renovated with a modern touch. Spacious Kitchen with modern appliances (loved the induction stove), large covered deck, and 3 nicely furnished large bedrooms. The thoughtful touch of the owner is felt throughout the home - exceptional place!
We stayed on a wedding weekend in Llano and loved this house so much, the pictures don’t do it justice. Would highly recommend! The just communication was great as well!
My family and I stayed at this beautifully done home in Llano for the weekend. The location is perfect. It is quiet, and walking distance from the shops on the main drag. Inside the house, it is well equipped with quality furniture, bedding, a well stocked kitchen, and a nice large TV in the living room. The covered patio in the back was a nice touch with ceiling fans and a seating area. We will definitely stay here again.
Definitely more than 5 stars! Location. Cleanliness. Amenities. This was by far one of the best we haved experienced & we plan to return. We loved walking to the downtown square. Lots of local shopping, eating options, and loved the bar one block up.
This has to be my favorite property that I've ever stayed at. It was exactly as advertised. The location was stellar and the homeowner was very communicative and friendly. This house had all the supplies, utensils and tools that you could possibly want.
Blanche (the home) delighted us with her clean and cool 60s and 70s vibe. Some of the colorful dishes and sleek furniture reminded me of those from my childhood, and the art was something I wish we’d had! Blanche hugged us into her open kitchen, exposed rafters, and huge sliding glass doors onto the deck, which was a perfect place for my morning cup of Texas Pecan coffee. We were here to visit friends and family but all we wanted to do was stay with Blanche! She is a jewel!❤️
I am Jill Reagor Smith, a 7th generation Texan, a mother, a Realtor and a jewelry designer. My ancestors first settled in Llano County in 1857 after arriving in Texas in the early 1800’s.
Although I have never lived in Llano, my roots are here as my siblings and I spent nearly all holidays and summer vacations here with our grandparents and extended family and still do. If you spend time at “Blanche” you also will feel the charm of this wonderful little " Hallmark Town", as one recent guest called it.
Why they chose this property
Its convenient location, within walking distance of
numerous family owned unique boutiques, casual
restaurants, and a variety of “watering holes,” provides
visitors with the opportunity to slow down and enjoy the
old-town charm that Llano has to offer. Are you the
outdoor type? Easing its way this way and that, past the
Llano Golf Course, Robinson, Badu, and Grenwelge
Parks, the crystal clear waters of lazy Llano River beckon
you to swim/kayak/fish to your heart’s content. Two
riverside parks are within walking distance. Grenwelge,
below the dam on the south side, now famous for hosting
the Llano Earth Art Festival known as LEAF, boasts
natural art created by internationally acclaimed artists.
Badu, above the dam on the north side, provides a boat
ramp for kayaks and stair-to-water access for swimmers. If
a drive in the country is on your agenda, then this is the
place to start. Both Enchanted Rock and Colorado
Bend State Parks are an easy drive and offer amateur to
expert hiking opportunities. Love wine? Amazing vineyards and wineries are within a short drive. Love shopping and history? You are only 45 minutes from all that Fredericksburg has to offer.
