Checkerboard House 3 Bedrooms-Sea World, Lackland

Fun & comfy 3 bed/2 bath house in San Antonio. Located inside Loop 1604, it's a 15 min drive to Lackland AFB & Sea World and a 20-25 min drive to downtown attractions, The Riverwalk, 6 Flags, and the San Antonio Zoo. Pets are considered on a case-by-case basis.

You will enjoy the open concept floor plan with a large dining table and a built-in bench for plenty of seating & the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare and serve meals!

The Master Suite includes a king size bed and a walk-in shower. Bedroom 2 has a full size bed and bedroom 3 features a twin over full bunk bed. The hall bath includes a tub/shower combo and there is a washer & dryer in the garage stocked with laundry detergent & bleach.

Smart TVs in the living room and 2 of the bedrooms so you can stream your favorites from Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, etc. A high chair, pack-n-play & stroller are available for your little ones.

The back yard features a covered checkerboard patio with giant checkers as well as a picnic table with umbrella, fire pit, charcoal grill, hammock and giant Connect 4!
