Beckoning you from under the shade of a gracious mature live oak tree, this brick beauty dressed up with shutters is surrounded by smart landscaping planted to withstand the rigors of South Texas weather and grazing deer. From the front porch, step inside to an open floor plan that brings the outside in with natural light through abundant new energy efficient windows. Designed for both cozy living and impressive entertaining, the centerpiece kitchen rivals the best on HGTV. New gray shaker cabinets with modern hardware line the walls and an expansive island invites guests to sit at the bar top and watch the chef at work.

A long (590sf) concrete patio allows for outdoor furniture and plenty of outdoor relaxation and play space. Back inside, venture down the bedroom wing with its renovated guest bath with tub/shower combo and designer touches that elevate. Two secondary bedrooms, one especially large, provide views of the expansive front lawn. At the end of the hall, the primary bedroom suite, awash with natural light is a true retreat with multiple closets and an ensuite bath. Here find all the modern conveniences both functional and beautiful from the touch controlled, anti-fog, LED mirror with adjustable, flattering light to the frameless glass, tiled walk-in shower, you won't want for anything. Storage is made easy on the other end of the home with an extra large utility room with cabinetry and outdoor access. Store more than vehicles in the attached two-car garage with pull down attic stairs and two separate doors with auto openers. All this, of course, with the budget and earth friendly solar panels that minimize utility bills. Add to that the long lasting metal roof and an HVAC system that is only a few years old. Affordable charm like this is hard to find and when you add the incredible convenience of this home, it is a winning recipe.
