LIMESTONE TUSCAN RETREAT IN A GATED COMMUNITY IN NW SA--INSIDE LOOP 1604 at an amazingly affordable price! Feel like you've been transported to Italy in this former Ryland model home that has all the living area on one story except for an upstairs loft. Charming curb appeal offers a warm welcome with its river rock accents in the exotic landscaping and an extra long covered front porch for relaxing on quiet evenings. The dramatic foyer, with its murals of Italian countryside, makes you want to open a glass of Chianti for the rest of the tour of the open, flowing floor plan which glows with natural light. More tasteful murals decorate the living room with a gas log fireplace that opens into the extra large dining space, kitchen and breakfast area. Brand new granite countertops and tumbled stone backsplash accent the real wood cabinetry, bespeaking the warmth of European mealtime. The split master suite offers enough room for a seating area and spacious en-suite bath with double vanity, large walk-in closet and both garden tub and shower. A generous office or flex space gives you plenty of privacy for those working from home. With a low-profile staircase, the upstairs loft is ready to use if you need it but doesn't take away from the rest of the home. Perfect for a game room, media room, second office, library or fourth bedroom for guests, it does not waste a bit of space. The 15x11 backyard deck sits up high, overlooking a gorgeous, fully landscaped yard dotted with oaks and with plenty of space for vegetable gardens, playsets or a future swimming pool. The extra long driveway for at least six cars is the envy of the neighborhood and essential in this neighborhood where cars are not allowed to be parked on street overnight! New 30-year roof, new burnished bronze fixtures throughout, surround sound, security system and sprinkler system. Add to this perfect mix--neighborhood amenities that include gated entrance, swimming pool, tennis & basketball courts, picnic are and walking trails. Award winning NISD schools. All this just a half mile from Highway 151 with quick access to Loop 410 or Loop 1604!
