This darling Mid-Century Charmer is the complete package -- a 3 bedroom/2 bath with gorgeous updates and an entertainer's dream outdoor space with hot tub and above ground pool, while still amazingly affordable! Set on a generously wide, tree-lined street in a coveted, quiet neighborhood just minutes from the Mission Reach and all downtown has to offer, this lovely single story welcomes from the driveway. Park your RV in this long drive and revel in the red brick exterior as you walk up to the front porch that opens to a huge covered porch for outdoor pleasure. Step into a high ceiling living space that is 20 by 16 feet -- something you'd never imagine in such a compact cottage. Note all the natural light flooding in from the atmospheric high windows of the era. The next surprise comes in the chef's gourmet kitchen that will make you gasp. From its custom mahogany wood cabinets to the Venetian Gold granite to the tumbled Tuscan backsplash, this big kitchen wows with its decor but also tempts with chef extras including a gas range and then a second built in oven for plenty of room for Thanksgiving dinner. Slip on down the hallway for a special treat -- two full, renovated bathrooms -- one with a step in shower for ease of use and a second with a shower/tub combo so you can soak or bath the little ones. Both accessible from the hallway. The master bedroom is surprisingly large and the secondary bedrooms are larger than you expect. Laundry in a huge utility closet accessible from the carport and room enough for your freezer and any extra supplies. The backyard space is one to brag about with a massive covered porch to enjoy coffee or a cocktail in our upcoming cool fall weather. The whole party will be comfortable as the covered porch flows into a huge multi-level wood patio leading to a hot tub AND 28 foot above ground swimming pool! Still, there is lawn left for pets and more, even with the two storage buildings and the chicken coop! The privacy fence offers a double gate for entrance from the back alley if you need to bring in anything extra wide to tuck into your yard. Wait! If you think it is too good to be true -- you haven't even heard it all yet. How about the fruit and nut trees galore -- 2 pecans, a lemon, orange and a pomegranate. This four sides masonry beauty offers a two year old roof, brand new windows and supreme maintenance that will have you move in with a baseline easy and inexpensive to keep. Walk to Pickrell Park and to the elementary school! Ride your bike to Mission Reach Trail in less than 15 minutes, shopping is just 5 minutes away, the coolest parts of downtown San Antonio are only a 7 minute drive away and your commute could not be quicker being within a few blocks of I-37 with straight shots to Lackland, SAMMC, Fort Sam and more! Run, don't walk to see this one because if you blink someone else will be calling her home.
