PRETTY AND SMART? THIS NORTHEAST FOUR BEDROOM SINGLE STORY IS FARMHOUSE FANTASTIC WITH THE BIG PERKS OF ENERGY EFFICIENT WINDOWS AND SOLAR PANELS!!! In a popular neighborhood right off I-35 and O'Connor find this convenient hidden gem. Step up to a porch that has been extended with decking to enjoy watching the world go by with a cup of coffee. Inside the luxury vinyl plank floors are both classy and easy to keep and a cozy foyer that ushers you into a dramatic living space that is open to kitchen and dining. A soaring, beamed cathedral ceiling offers a sense of space and highlights the brick centerpiece fireplace with mantle and long hearth--perfect for hanging stockings. This kitchen is que cute with its oiled butcher block countertops and farmhouse flair. Floating shelves give you plenty of room for displaying your favorite cooking items or to use purely for decorations. A huge window over the sink overlooks the backyard, making cooking easy while keeping an eye on loved ones frolicking in the sun. The dining area would easily allow for a eight seat table, making it ideal for entertaining. The combined pantry and laundry space is so accessible that grabbing a spice to dash into the meal is a breeze. Down the hallway is the bedroom wing but pause first at the guest bath where you might find many a visitor lingering because it is so darling! Shiplap walls set the tone in the vanity area and in the separate bathing area the gleaming custom blue tile work not only go in the shower/tub surround but to the ceilings and surrounding walls as well! Talk about stunning! Extricating yourself from this, find a large secondary bedroom (14x12) and two other smaller but still nice sized bedrooms (12x10). If larger secondary bedrooms is on your list this home checks those boxes! Now to the primary suite, tucked back and with privacy accentuated by a smart design. The two long closets extend along a hallway to the main part of the bedroom, which then stretches out before you at a sweeping 17x10 feet. An ensuite bath is a walk-in tiled shower and vanity with room to add shelving or, yes, more farmhouse fun! The toilet is tucked behind a wall with shelves for storage above. Outside find a generous covered patio with a view of your level yard -- a blank slate for your outdoor imagination from swimming pool to gardens. The attached two-car garage is accessed from the laundry space and not only offers vehicle storage but also attic access and additional spaces for your equipment. Don't forget the big ticket items you won't always find in other homes -- the solar panels, of course, which make your electric bills painless, the modern double pane energy efficient windows and sliding glass door and the just a few years young HVAC system! All this with NEISD schools nearby and quick access to I-35 from either exit from Valley Forge, meaning easy access to not only shopping and stores at the Forum but also to the hotspots downtown or to work at Fort Sam, SAMMC or Randolph AFB.
