714 Larkwood Drive, San Antonio, TX 78209

$500,000

Northwood has a way of holding onto its single story homes, and this three bedroom is one worth knowing. From the street, the metal roof sets the tone; a practical, long-lasting choice that also happens to look sharp against the mature landscaping out front - and it's less than six… Read More years old. The yard has clearly been tended by someone who cared about it, and the result is the kind of curb appeal that doesn't need to try too hard. Step inside and the first thing you notice is the wood. The original floors have been refinished rather than replaced, so they keep the warmth and character that come with age while looking freshly cared for. Fresh interior paint, new baseboards, and updated light fixtures carry that same sensibility throughout - thoughtful updates that respect the house rather than paper over it. In the family room, exposed beams give the ceiling some architectural weight, and a new sliding glass door pulls in light and connects the space to the backyard. The kitchen showcases quartz countertops that pair clean lines with everyday durability, and the refrigerator stays with the home. Both bathrooms have seen real attention: the secondary bathroom has been remodeled, and the primary bath was reworked to include a large glass-enclosed shower and a space-saving pocket door - a small detail that makes a daily difference. Storage rarely gets top billing in a listing, but here it earns a mention, with plenty of closets throughout and a two car garage outfitted with built-in storage and a dedicated laundry area. The washer and gas dryer remain, so that piece of things is ready to go from day one. Some of the most valuable work on this house is the kind you don't see. The windows have been replaced in the last two years and the HVAC system is only about a year old (both interior and exterior units were replaced), which means the big-ticket maintenance items are already handled. Out back, a covered patio with a ceiling fan makes the Texas heat negotiable, and the attached gas grill (which stays with the house) turns the space into an easy spot for weekend cooking. A concrete fence runs along the back of the yard, offering privacy and a low-maintenance backdrop for the landscaping. What ties it all together is restraint. This isn't a house that's been over-flipped or stripped of its personality. It's a well-kept single story in an established neighborhood, updated where it counts and left alone where it was already right. Read Less
