Set on an oversized cul de sac lot within the guard gated Emerald Forest community, this thoughtfully updated single story offers privacy, functionality, and elegance. A covered front porch provides a welcoming entry with majestic views. Inside, beautifully upgraded elements accent the home. The designer kitchen anchors the main living spaces and opens to breakfast area and family room, where high ceilings, natural light, and a fireplace create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Formal living and dining provide space for all. Plantation shutters are installed throughout. The primary suite offers outdoor access to backyard offering a quiet retreat. Secondary room connected to the primary and complete with a spacious closet provides flexibility for a 3rd bedroom, private office, exercise, or flex room. A well sized laundry room offers additional storage with extensive cabinetry, sink, and space for additional refrigeration. Outdoor living is equally considered, with a covered patio and an expansive flagstone terrace featuring a built in fireplace, ideal for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment. Mature and lush landscaping and a fully fenced yard enhance the property and contributes to a quiet, established feel. The home is a true single story with no interior steps and subtle accessibility features in place. Emerald Forest is one of North San Antonio's most established gated communities, with wonderful amenities such as pool, tennis, walking trails, all with guarded access and entry from both Bulverde Road and Loop 1604.
