Property Description

RARE FIND - ELEGANT, MID-CENTURY SINGLE STORY ESTATE HOME WITH POOL ON MORE THAN AN ACRE JUST OUTSIDE 410 & ACROSS THE STREET FROM CASTLE HILLS! Oh, if only a home could talk ... step one foot into this amazing residence owned for decades by a world famous musical artist to instantly imagine all the parties she has hosted over the decades and the memories made here. Pull off Lockhill-Selma onto a long driveway past a sweeping lawn dotted with oaks to a sprawling brick rancher that welcomes you in to a space brimming with character. Past a charming front porch, a gracious entry opens into a formal living room with picture window and so many amazing mid century elements including custom lattice shutters. The bookshelf itself is a masterpiece! Straight ahead is a formal dining room that opens past elaborate, decorative lattice doors into an office then into the huge family room ideal for entertaining. Here under beamed ceilings find a brick accent wall and long bar with butler pantry for storage. The kitchen sits in the middle of the home with a sink overlooking the backyard. The adjacent breakfast space under a vintage chandelier offers a cozy space to enjoy a coffee. One wing hosts a large atmospheric primary bedroom awash with natural light and featuring a unique custom wood accent wall. The shared bathroom with beautiful vintage tile on the wall and in tub/shower combo offers plenty of counter space on the vanity along with lots of practical storage. In the opposite wing sits another large secondary bedroom and a guest bathroom with vintage tile walk-in shower with bench and sliding glass doors. The attached, side entry two-car garage has loads of storage closets along one wall. Slip out the back door where the party continues with a massive screened-in porch that runs nearly the length of the house. Head outdoors onto the acreage where a gazebo offers some shade in between frolics in the large, well maintained, recently resurfaced swimming pool deep enough to sport a diving board! An outbuilding that needs work once served as a casita and later an office has plumbing for a full bathroom. Use your imagination on the rest of the remainder of the 1.3 acre, level lot or just enjoy its natural beauty under the shade of mature trees. All this in an incredibly convenient location -- between Northwest Military and Blanco, less than a mile off Loop 410 right in the heart of North San Antonio, peaceful yet surrounded by shopping and restaurants. Get to North Star in 5 minutes, the Pearl and downtown in 15. Currently zoned for popular NEISD schools including Castle Hills Elementary, Eisenhauer Middle and Churchill High. This once-in-lifetime gem is ready for you to revel in her truly original character or to renovate to Mid-Century Modern.
