Property Description
Picture Saturday morning coffee in your own private courtyard, walled off from the street, quiet enough to hear the birds. That's the first thing you notice about this Spanish bungalow in the Austin Terrace Historic District, known locally as Casa de las Tortugas. The kitchen was rebuilt from the studs out. Custom cabinets, Carrera quartz counters, opening straight into the dining and living space. Oak hardwood floors and cove ceilings run through the main living areas. The primary suite sits at the back with a vaulted ceiling, wood-look tile, and French doors to the courtyard. The bath has a walk-in shower and double sinks in white tile. Two more bedrooms share a full bath with ceiling fans and walk-in closets. Corner lot on a tree-lined street in Government Hill, minutes from Radford, Loretto Academy, downtown, and Fort Bliss. Central heat and refrigerated air keep it modern for a home built in 1940. Homes with this much renovation done don't come up often. Call today to schedule your showing.
