Alamo Heights Schools 3 Bed 1 Bath Home
Wild Bird Sanctuary - $190,000 - Pre-MLS
Joe,

As usual, I'm sharing this home with you before I put the For Sale sign up or put it on MLS.

I thought Stephen was pulling my leg when he told me his yard was designed as a wild migratory and local bird refuge. But then the first two birds I saw were a cardinal and a blue bird. He went on to explain how the previous owner spent over $8,000 on birdscaping and foliage designed to give shelter and sustenance to wild birds year round.

The home 168 Chevy Chase [Map] itself has a wonderful front porch area that flows into the entry room and living room. The front yard is somewhat secluded. I envision bar-b-qing out front with up to 12 people sitting across the front steps. Of course, the back yard patio is a great entertaining spot, too...

Please forward this on if you know anyone who might be holding out for a wild bird sanctuary in the Alamo Heights School District. They can give us a holler at 733-1928 for a showing.

For more information on birdscaping, visit the Urban Birdscape Blog or you can read the musings of an Austin apartment dweller who lives vicariously through the birds outside her window at Austin duckpolice.org. And The Wild Bird Center in Denton has tons of useful consumer information. Texas Parks and Wildlife also has plenty on what you can do to help local and migratory wild birds. SouthTexas Birds.com.

Take care,

FW: 2-2 Inner Loop Mountain Cabin - Pre-MLS

2-2 Mountain Cabin - $83,156 - pre-MLS
Dear Joe,

As usual, I'm sharing this home with you before I put the For Sale sign up or put it on MLS.

Kay fell in love with this mountain cabin the moment she saw it. 2305 Edison is roomy and has all sorts of storage and rooms to stow anoraks and snow shoes.

The unexpected thing is that this mountain cabin with vaulted ceilings and exposed wooden beams is in San Antonio just north of the Monticello Park just off of Fredericksburg Rd. - well within Loop 410. Get yourself some Hill Country without that pesky cedar!

3-1 Home at Woodlawn Lake - $77k pre-MLS
Dear Joe,

Here's another nice home for you to take a peek at before I put the sign up or put it on MLS.

Yvette's home is a darling cottage on a quiet street and just 3 blocks from Woodlawn Lake Park. This is a great home base for a jogger, walker or stroller. Who knew there was a Woodlawn Sailing Club?

2705 W. Craig (map) is a 3 bedroom home with hardwood floors and a huge backyard. At the price, it's perfect as a starter home or a great spot for someone with great taste. As you can see from the photos, Craig is bright and retains its original vintage character.
