The Unicorn on the Cul-de-Sac! ORIGINAL OWNER!!! In nearly 30 years of selling real estate, I've come across fewer than 5 homes I would consider a True Unicorn. This is one of them. Some homes are built to sell. Some homes are built to rent. But once in a while...… Read More a home is built by someone who knows they will live there for the rest of their lives. And he DID. When that happens, something special occurs. This home was owned and meticulously improved for the last 43 years by an Engineer in the Space Science & Engineering Division of Southwest Research Institute. Yes... the closest thing you're going to find to a rocket scientist designing and perfecting a home. Which means everything here was done with the same mindset you'd expect from someone whose career depended on precision, durability, and excellence. Over four decades, he didn't just maintain this home... He engineered it. Wood exterior elements were replaced with Cement Fiber Siding, creating the durability and insurance advantages of a Four-Sides Masonry home. Most of the windows were replaced with Premium Pella Windows, and the back of the home features a Rolls-Royce quality Pella sliding door that opens beautifully to the Private Backyard Oasis. Many floors were upgraded to Rich Wood Flooring. A secondary master closet was thoughtfully transformed by him personally into a Custom Study with Built-In Desk and Shelving. Both Bathrooms were Completely Remodeled with top-tier materials, and the Kitchen was rebuilt with stunning Granite, Premium Backsplash, and Custom Cabinetry - even designed Slightly Lower to perfectly work for his short wife! A thoughtful touch that many will quietly appreciate. While you're there, see if you can find the Corner Cabinet Drawer. You'll find a beautifully engineered Double Lazy Susan without the traditional center pole, allowing full access to every inch of storage. It's the kind of detail only an engineer would insist on. But the upgrades didn't stop where most people stop. What would a rocket scientist create, who wanted to have full use of a bedroom, but also have a full size bed for when guests come over? He would build by hand and craft the perfect Murphy bed to maximize space and efficiency! Be sure to check it out when you view the home! AThis is one of the only homes in the area featuring both a Metal Roof and Solar Panels! There's a top quality 75-gallon Water Heater. And when the original ductwork began to age, the owner didn't patch it. He Replaced the Entire System with an Industrial METAL Ductwork Network, Professionally Sealed, wrapped in Additional Insulation, and designed so Airflow can be Sdjusted Room by Room. An Upgrade that cost over $10,000 and Dramatically Improves Efficiency and Comfort! Outside, the property continues the theme of intentional design. The Front & Back Yards are Totally Xeriscaped, eliminating wasted water while keeping maintenance simple. A Rainwater Catchment System was installed. And the home features a Premium Leaf Repelling Gutter Systems, among the best available. The location of the lot they would build a house on was also chosen carefully. The home sits at the end of a quiet Cul-De-Sac, with no neighbor directly to the right, and a Peaceful Greenbelt behind the property. And anchoring the backyard is a Beautiful Mature Oak Tree - the perfect place for morning coffee, evening conversations, or entertaining friends under the shade. Over the years, the owner invested well over $100,000 in improvements, not for resale... but because he KNEW this would always be their forever home. Homes like this don't come along often. A house Engineered with Intention, Cared for with Pride, and Improved over Four Decades by someone whose Professional Life was built on Precision and Excellence. Someone is about to own one of the most thoughtfully built and meticulously maintained homes on this side of San Antonio. Somebody's going to be blessed with the deal of the century! Read Less
