518 Elmhurst Avenue, San Antonio, TX, 78209
About This Home
Just steps from the Botanical Garden in the heart of Mahncke Park, this home sits in the San Antonio Cultural District, close to the Pearl, the Witte Museum, and the DoSeum. This 2 bedroom, 2 bath home has been meticulously maintained, with both baths updated and wood floors throughout. At 1,314 square feet, it lives much larger than the number suggests, thanks in part to a bright sunroom that adds versatile living space. Outside, xeriscaping and a low maintenance rock and gravel backyard are complemented by raised bed gardens already growing peppers and herbs, along with fruit trees. Solar panels help offset electricity costs, and decks on both the front and back give you room to enjoy the outdoors. A 2-car garage rounds out this well cared for home in one of San Antonio's most desirable pockets.
