A recently listed home in Elm Creek comes with both 20-foot-high vaulted ceilings and a state-of-the-art pool.
From the curb, the sharp angles of the mid-century-style home’s high ceilings look so dramatic that passers-by might think it's actually a former church. Pointed floor-to-ceiling windows compliment the angles and allow ample natural light into the open living area.
“The geometric architecture is really fun to look at, and we don’t really get that with modern architecture,” said listing agent Michael Goff with JB Goodwin Realtors.
That’s just the beginning of home's architectural wonders.
Although it was built in 1984, it draws on prior decades for many of its most interesting elements. In addition to clean mid-century lines, the property includes double front doors featuring gorgeous stained glass design reminiscent of the Art Deco period. Three more interior doors also feature stained glass.
The house is single-story but includes five bedrooms and five baths in its spacious 4,500 square feet. Several of the bathrooms feature glass-block privacy dividers that obscure their showers — a clear nod to 1980s construction trends by San Antonio architect Roberto Kenigstein.
The huge kitchen features stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, granite countertops and an extensive wine cabinet. Once a meal is prepared in the kitchen, it can be enjoyed in one of two dining rooms, though one currently houses a grand piano under its chandelier instead of a dining table.
For some, the real star of the show may be the house's WiFi-enabled pool and spa, which can be controlled from anywhere using an app. The user is able to command the robotic pool cleaner and adjust temperature, lighting and even the eight-foot fountain sprays from a phone.
The house is listed at just over $1.1 million.
