OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY 10am-1pm!!! ELEGANT GARDEN RIDGE ESTATE AWES WITH A CLASSIC PRESENCE! This single story, four sides brick rancher with four bedrooms and a swimming pool sits on 3/4ths of an acre shaded by live oaks and elms on a greenbelt. Wind through the quiet neighborhood past resting white tail deer to this graceful beauty with lush lawn and side entry three-car garage. Step through the front door and into a home that welcomes with high ceilings, gleaming traditional mahogany hardwood flooring and wonderful open floor plan. A formal dining space to the left opens to the formal living space with view through french doors of the private backyard space. Imagine the entertaining you can do in the elaborate family room with fireplace, gorgeous wood built-ins and cool wet bar with sink that runs the length of the wall! Chefs can be part of the action from the kitchen with truly stunning space -- breakfast bar, amazing gas cooktop, two ovens, a handy butcher block island plus a recipe nook along with seeming miles of countertop. A separate pantry in addition to shelving in the oversized adjacent laundry will leave you with more storage than you hoped for. The long countertop in the laundry is also an excellent workspace. The primary suite is set privately off on the east wing of the home with view of pool and forest and with access to the patio. Gasp in pleasure at the renovated ensuite bath awash with natural light. Relax in your freestanding garden tub or enjoy the huge glassed in shower with custom tile and river rock floor. The separate vanities with gorgeous granite and upgraded fixtures make the space feel like a resort at home! On the west end of the house, tucked behind the family room, find the three spacious secondary bedrooms two with charming window seat benches and one with a full ensuite bath with walk-in shower! The guest bath, accessible from the hall, is extra large, with two sinks and long counter with tub and shower combo. Plantation shutters throughout provide a refined touch while the crown molding adds a touch of class. You can enjoy the outdoors in all weather from a long covered porch that overlooks the swimming pool, adjoining spa and the rest of your acreage with the wooded greenbelt extending your privacy and view. Watch the deer craze and foxes scamper from behind a wrought iron fence. The three-car attached garage, accessible off the utility room, not only is large enough to house even SUVs but also offers natural light, wall to wall shelving, workspace and a water softener. All this in the coveted Garden Ridge (no HOA) with its excellent Comal County schools and city services. Tucked between San Antonio, Schertz, Bulverde and south New Braunfels, it feels like country but uber convenient -- being just 5 minutes from the grocery, I-35 and Loop 1604! Easy commute to downtown San Antonio or military bases. Imagine yourself in your forever home here.
