A luxurious modern home nestled on a sprawling 1.2-acre lot in San Antonio’s North Hills neighborhood was listed earlier this summer for just over $2 million.
The four-bed, four-bath home conveys modern luxury with its wide-open floor plan and contemporary details throughout. Constructed in 1977, the residence also boasts a total of three spiral staircases, located both inside and outside the home.
The two-story living area centers around a modern fireplace framed by distinctive stonework. Next to it, a recessed wall niche provides a showcase for works of art. Nearby, there’s a full wet bar with an ice maker, marble countertops and stools.
Saltillo tile floors and soaring shiplap ceilings run throughout the first floor, connecting the main living area to other dining and entertaining spaces, with a spiral staircase in the middle of it all. The staircase leads up to a loft-like book nook and office overlooking the entire main level from the second floor landing. One of the guest suites can also be accessed with this staircase. That’s not the only staircase in the main living area. There’s also a glass staircase connecting the kitchen to the second floor. The kitchen features a wrap-around countertop of butcher-block wood. Next to the kitchen, a long dining table perfect for entertaining is positioned next to the other side of the architecturally distinct fireplace, which is shared with the living area.
The bathroom on the main level creates the ambiance of a high-end spa, offering the unique experience of soaking in a tub built into the floor. Clearly designed for those who aren’t shy, the inset tub is right in front of a French door and floor-to-ceiling window with no curtains.
Yet another spiral staircase connects a den to the second floor, with a simpler staircase leading up to the astroturf rooftop deck from inside the home. For those who have lost count, that makes for a grand total of four staircases — two of them spiral — inside the 4,800-square-foot home. Yet another spiral staircase is located outside the house, leading up to one of the guest suites.
The primary suite, located on the main level, includes its own en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower and a standalone modern tub. The primary suite also includes a huge walk-in closet, one of three custom walk-ins in the house. Sure to impress guests, upstairs bedrooms feature a wall of windows opening onto a balcony overlooking the backyard pool.
