Open House Saturday 11-2! THE HILL COUNTRY SINGLE STORY YOU'VE BEEN BEGGING FOR IN ONE OF THE MOST CONVENIENT NEIGHBORHOODS IN POPULAR BULVERDE! Three years young, this lovely Lennar 3/2 on an extra large lot checks all the boxes plus one--solar panels that pay YOU to live there for months out of the year. Hidden Trails is just off US 281 but you'll enjoy the winding drive through the oak shaded limestone hills to the back of the subdivision where all you hear are the birds and see the deer. Pass the community park with pool, sports courts and the peaceful fishing pond adorned by fountains and pier! Revel in the gorgeously landscaped green spaces lining your drive, making you feel both in the country and yet in the lap of luxury. Turn into your drive to see curb appeal plus in this rancher with limestone flower beds above emerald grass nurtured by a sprinkler system. Expansive views of the hill country from the front porch might distract but once the door is open, gasp in delight at the open floor plan flooded with natural light. The incredibly spacious living room opens to dining big enough for a large table and a centerpiece kitchen with gorgeous granite countertops and window over the sink. Chefs will rejoice in the gas cooking with island that provides extra workspace and a bar top for extra seating for dining overflow. The master, tucked off on its own separate wing, is a generous size and enjoys a view of the backyard. A true ensuite, the master bath is luxurious with a super private, upgraded, extra large fully tiled walk-in shower with long built-in bench and double vanity! The master closet is a treat with space enough for two. The secondary bedrooms are bright and spacious with great closets. The fourth bedroom is set off by itself at the front for more privacy for those who might use it as a guest suite or home office. The guest bath offers more granite counter and a shower/tub combo with classy tile surround. Luxury wood-look laminate flooring adds class and convenience throughout the living and kitchen space. Out back, plan gatherings under your covered porch and let your imagination be your guide with the extra large backyard with room for swimming pool, garden, playscape and more. The attached garage is perfect for vehicle storage and comes with an 8-foot work bench. This home rises head and shoulders above the rest in its energy efficiency and 'smart' features -- combining Lennar's superior energy efficient build and energy star appliances with the solar panels that cover most of the utility bills on average. The buyer estimates the 20 solar panels have covered 80 percent of the energy cost over the last two years -- some months they make money! Add to the bonuses an owned Vivant security system with cameras, smart garage doors and an AO Smith water softener so necessary with our hard water here. This home was finished by the builder with careful supervision from the sellers, sure to make it one of the best in the neighborhood! To this recipe for success, add acclaimed Comal ISD schools and the convenience of being right off US 281 with a quick hop to San Antonio or down 1863 to New Braunfels! It takes brains to pick this 'smart' beauty -- hurry before another beats you to it.
