The laundry is conveniently and discretely tucked away in the family room. The private backyard offers a peaceful retreat, complete with raised garden beds, a lush lawn, and mature trees. The detached 2-car garage with epoxy flooring and an extended driveway provides ample parking. The primary suite, thoughtfully separated from the secondary bedrooms, offers privacy and a restful retreat. Located just minutes from top-rated Alamo Heights ISD schools, this home is within walking distance to Friday night football games at Alamo Heights High School and offers convenient access to the Sunset & Co.
