Welcome to 259 Chimney Rock. If you love nature but want to live in the city, look no further! This incredible mid century modern home situated on a 40,000+ square foot lot is the perfect cross between the fast pace of city living and the calming oasis that the serene backyard gives. Originally built in 1954, the kitchen and utility room were updated in 2006. Leaving the modern feel but making it a chefs dream. The floor to ceiling windows throughout allow for natural light to pour into the home and gives incredible views of the property. The backyard is an entertainers dream with a massive patio, Koi pond, 2 decks, and a yard that is a child's paradise for endless adventures! Not only does this property back up to Spring Branch but behind that is St. Mary's Seminary. In the front of the home the rainbow drive and privacy wall allows for at least 7 cars not including the garage.
