A 1975-constructed home has hit the market in the San Antonio suburb of Garden Ridge with its own unique blend of Spanish elements and sleek 1970s design.
Located just north of Loop 1604 in a cul-de-sac off of I-35, the home somehow blends these disparate styles seamlessly. This unique blend is apparent from the curb, where an archway of wrought iron and a stucco façade introduce the Spanish flavor, while a bold A-frame and a wooden walkway covering bring unexpected twists of modernism.
This theme continues upon stepping through the front door. Another archway, this one modernized with an orange frame, provides a pop of color and sets the tone for what’s inside.
Inside the 2,281-square-foot abode, saltillo tiles and rounded corner fireplaces convey an old-world-meets-Chicano influence, as do exposed beams on the ceiling.
But then, like a sharp note ripping through a placid moment in a jazz composition, modern elements cut through, like open shelving as a mere suggestion of separation between the living room and the dining room.
The listing says the three-bedroom, 2-bathroom home benefited from “meaningful updates” over the years, while still giving the next owner “the opportunity to update select finishes, flooring, and kitchen style to fit their vision.”
In other words, it’s not quite a fixer-upper but it could use a glow-up.
Perhaps this is why it’s being offered at the price of $529,000.
Hopefully, the next owner is a fan of both flamenco and Miles Davis.
