A brick courtyard welcomes you into nearly 3,200 square feet of light-filled interiors featuring hardwood floors throughout. The thoughtfully designed floorplan includes spacious gathering areas, a cozy fireplace, a chefs kitchen with premium appliances, and five comfortable bedrooms, including a walk-out primary suite. Outside, the serene backyard offers ample space for both entertaining and relaxation, while additional features include air conditioning and a 2-car garage. Enjoy the serenity of this sought-after neighborhood with lush surroundings, iconic Bol Park and its beloved donkeys, and scenic biking and walking paths, all while being minutes from the vibrant shops and restaurants of California Avenue and The Village at San Antonio Center. Plus, the home is served by top-ranked schools Barron Park Elementary, Fletcher Middle, and Gunn High (buyer to verify eligibility).

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
