Property Description

Buyer financing fell through. House appraised for $207,000. This house comes with a brand new, next generation HVAC system featuring the latest A2L (R32) refrigerant and an energy efficient heat pump! Beautifully reimagined and move-in ready, this updated 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the perfect blend of style, function, and location. Situated on a corner lot with no rear neighbors and backing to Rainbow Hills Park, this home delivers added privacy and convenience. Inside, you'll find a bright, open-concept layout where the kitchen, dining, and main living area flow seamlessly together-ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Just off the dining area is a spacious second living room, offering the flexibility for a family room, game room, office, or media space. The stunning new kitchen is the centerpiece of the home, featuring white cabinetry with elegant gold accents, a built-in oven, a large island with a waterfall quartz countertop, and abundant workspace and storage. New luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout the home, complemented by all new doors and energy-efficient LED lighting that gives the entire interior a fresh, modern feel. Both bathrooms have been thoughtfully remodeled with stylish finishes, while additional major updates including new windows and a newer water heater provide comfort and peace of mind. Outside, you'll find a welcoming covered front porch, and a large covered two-car carport. The oversized backyard is a blank canvas, ready for a garden, play area, outdoor kitchen, or whatever you envision. Located in an established community just minutes from Lackland Air Force Base, shopping, dining, and major highways including I-410, US-90, and SH-151, this home combines convenience with modern updates in a truly standout package. No HOA and potential traditional or short term rental (STR) investment opportunity!
