Temperatures and rainfall were not the only things to set records in San Antonio this May. It was also a hot, rainmaking month for home sales in the San Antonio metro.

This is a charming home in one of my favorite neighborhoods, Northwood, in north-central San Antonio. The previous owner is an accomplished remodeling contractor, and he did a fantastic job updating the home. Then my seller took it a step further with some beautiful landscaping and decorating. It was move-in ready, and the new owner is thrilled with her now home. Northwood is an established neighborhood in north-central San Antonio close to major employers, such as Fort Sam Houston, several universities, and downtown. Check out this mini Real Estate Show for a glimpse of the home, and for more information just click the Details tab.

This home is in one of my favorite neighborhoods in San Antonio: Northwood. And now it has happy new owners! It had been well maintained, but  there was carpet over the wood floors and original 50's tile in the bathrooms. The Florida room was an enclosed patio with another screened patio next to it. They effectively made the kitchen and dining area next to it very dark. My client opened up the space and created a sunny dining room and a third bedroom and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom to the original second bedroom. The roof of the second enclosed patio was replaced with a pergola, letting floods of light into the home. What I particularly appreciate about this home is the established landscaping. It includes a rose and an azalea next to the front porch, as well a pair of mountain laurels and...
