Tucked away in the North San Antonio neighborhood of Forest Crest near Camp Bullis and Friedrich Wilderness Trails, a breathtaking modern estate has hit the market for $2.5 million.
Perched at a high vantage point at the end of a long driveway that winds through its 1.5-acre lot, the modernist home blends earthy touches with luxurious design throughout. And the 3,833-square-foot structure also overlooks the scenic Texas Hill Country.
Double doors made of reclaimed wood open onto a masonry-enclosed courtyard, around which the house’s interior rooms are oriented. Oversized windows offer views into the interior space.
The house was built in 2013 by Mattern & FitzGerald, a cutting-edge Boerne architecture firm whose portfolio spans from French Provencal to Industrial, Prairie, Farmhouse, Mediterranean and beyond.
This house is done in a style deemed “Hill Country Transitional,” which incorporates identifiable, local materials such as limestone and wood with modern architecture and large windows. Thus the abode exudes an energy both familiar and forward-thinking.
The large family room connects to both the modern kitchen and the covered outdoor patio, complete with its own outdoor kitchen. Easily one of the finest features of the house, the patio offers up breathtaking Hill Country views from its hilltop setting.
However, for moments in which one prefers not to “bring the outdoors in,” the patio also features custom shutters, which add further design interest to the space.
Materials of the utmost quality have been selected throughout the home, including honed travertine, flagstone, intricate woodwork and granite, according to the sales listing.
Each of the four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home’s bedrooms includes its own en suite bathroom for utmost privacy. More views can be enjoyed through the window from the tub in the primary bathroom, which also has plenty of vanity counter space for primping.
Another crown jewel of the property can be found outside. In the backyard, a lap pool and spa cut a unique shape against the lush landscape, offering up an irresistible invitation for a soak with a view.
This home is listed by Binkan Cinaroglu with Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty.
