Set beneath a canopy of mature live oaks on approximately .4 acres, the four-sided masonry home offers nearly 3,700 square feet of living space and an uncommon sense of openness, with no neighboring residence directly in front or immediately along one side of the property. Distinctive black gates open to a private entry courtyard, creating a memorable sense of arrival before stepping inside. A wraparound covered porch traces the lower level, connecting the architecture to the surrounding grounds, while covered upper terraces create additional places to retreat beneath the tree canopy. Brick fireplaces, generous living spaces and established trees lend the property a warmth and permanence rarely replicated. The floor plan is equally compelling, offering three private suite-style bedrooms, each with direct access to the outdoors. The main-level suite opens to the grounds, while both upstairs suites extend to covered outdoor spaces of their own, creating an unusual relationship between the interior and the landscape. An additional flex room can serve as an entertainment lounge, game room, private office or additional bedroom as needs evolve. At the center of the home, the kitchen opens to everyday gathering spaces, while formal dining and multiple living areas allow the residence to transition effortlessly from intimate evenings to larger gatherings. Outdoors, a substantial covered patio, hot tub and broad lawn beneath mature live oaks create another setting for entertaining, dining or quiet retreat. A detached two-car garage sits beyond secured gate access, further enhancing the estate-like arrival and sense of privacy. Elm Creek feels almost hidden within the city, a lush, established enclave where mature trees and quiet residential streets create a distinct sense of retreat. Residents enjoy a community pool, walking trails, playground, tennis and basketball courts, while remaining exceptionally connected to San Antonio's major corridors, including Loop 410, I-10, US 281 and Loop 1604. The South Texas Medical Center and Stone Oak medical corridor, San Antonio International Airport, golf, fine dining, premier retail and key business destinations are all within convenient reach.
