Modernist architecture is often about marrying cold, clean lines with the warmth and chaos of nature — both which are abundant at a North San Antonio home recently listed for sale.
Going for $3.2 million, this modernist mansion built in 2003 is full of “strong architectural lines and generous proportions,” as its listing states. But outside, the nearly one-acre property abuts the greenbelt and is shaded by its own private forest of mature trees, balancing its stark, cold design with an unbridled wildness.
Inside, its “clean, tailored interiors” feature abundant natural light, refinished wood flooring and modern conveniences such as motorized Roman blinds, smart-home technology and even a Tesla charging port.
As one of the home’s most distinctive architectural features, a dramatic barrel-vaulted ceiling and arched transom windows convey gravitas in its formal living room. Meanwhile, contemporary fireplaces add warmth and architectural interest to its more casual, everyday gathering areas.
In addition to a state-of-the-art kitchen, the 5,977-square-foot house also comes with its own bar and cafe area, scullery, gym, study and other amenities.
The impressive primary suite, located on the first floor, has direct access to the patio and pool. Its en suite bath is especially luxurious, with marble finishes, floating dual vanities, walk-in shower, soaking tub, two walk-in closets and a dedicated makeup area.
But for those who love the outdoors, the most time might be spent on its newly constructed upper decks with views across the pool, backyard, and the adjoining greenbelt, which connects to Phil Hardberger Park.
Who said the modern world can’t live in harmony with nature?
