18274 Sherwood Trail Helotes, TX 78023

Don't miss this rare opportunity to own one of the iconic Grey Forest original stone cottages! Situated adjacent to Helotes Creek a few short steps away from the historic spring-fed "swimming hole". Greenspace in back, and Scenic Loop Playground wide open area directly across the street makes for 3 sides uninhabited except for the wildlife. Add almost an acre of usable land, majestic mature oaks that create a canopy over home and yard, and this location is unmatched. Enjoy your trip back in time when you enter the 1910 built front two rooms, with their solid rock walls, vaulted ceilings, and the adorable, original front door adorning the living room wall. Old meets new as you enter the kitchen, redone from a new subfloor and insulation to new raised ceiling. Kitchen boasts quartz and butcher block countertops, custom cabinets you'll love, high end appliances, microwave drawer, dishwasher drawer, new electrical and plumbing and new gas line for range. Also included are many options for lighting, and custom casement windows that beckon you to open them up to the sounds of the creek or the many birds. Want to cook outside too? The new covered patio is prepped with electrical and plumbing, ready to finish an outdoor kitchen! Recent improvements also include new roof in 2020 raised and extended over back patio, enlarged front patio, new gutters all around, new electrical panels outside and inside, 50 amp pole for RV, new gas line from meter to house and to fire pit, exterior paint, new PVC window trim, river rocks and french drain for drainage at back of house, over 1500sf of brand new flagstone and natural gas fire pit with high end rocks, stones, and logs, and more. Step outside and relax in one of several sitting areas. Don't miss the original hand dug well ready to be decorated as a wishing well, and the old original well house with working well. Venture outside the fence to the "other half acre" to find the old original barn, which has served as a work area, storage, and carport most recently. Bring your RV, bring your boat, you can store it all here! Back inside, there are 3 oversized bedrooms, one of which could be used for an office with a private side entrance. In the remaining bedrooms you find built-in storage galore and one more private entrance. Refrigerator conveys. This property is a MUST-SEE to appreciate!
