San Antonio Ranks 1st on Where to Spend Turkey Day. This Elegant, Modern Home Comes in 2nd

Turkey Day is quickly approaching like a pack of crazed Turkey Trot runners. You can feel the impending frenzy when you go out.

For those who are looking to take a time-out from the insanity, then the place to go is San Antonio. That’s not what you were expecting was it? Typically when I need to flee the hustle and bustle of an impending holiday, I write about a lovely home on the beach. 

Based on 18 different metrics, the kind folks WalletHub.com compared the 100 largest U.S. cities. The data they collected ranges from the cost of the Turkey Day dinner, flight delays, the weather, and so on.

“San Antonio is the best place to go for Thanksgiving this year, and it’s an especially good place for people who want to dine out, with an extremely high number of restaurants rated at least 4.5 stars,” according to WalletHub.

I don’t know about you but they had me at “dine out.” Why wrestle with a turkey and its giblets when delicious, authentic Mexican food awaits just a mere five hours away? I have found the San Antonio home where you can enjoy not only your meal but your family.

Located in the upscale neighborhood of Olmos Park in the heart of San Antonio, this modern home embraces its Texas landscape and invites you to do the same.

What stands out about this home is its commitment to clean lines, natural materials, and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions. You can make yourself at home whether you’re celebrating the holidays or just coming home from a day of enjoying the Alamo City.

This home is not like the average modern home being built these days. Its use of glass as both wall and threshold as well as integrating heavy elemental materials such as stone, concrete and wood make this home stand out above the others.

Whether you enjoy the many fine restaurants or decide to tackle Turkey Day and everything it entails, this kitchen provides you everything you need to make a memorable feast while still enjoying everyone’s company around the bar.

The primary suite is a lesson in pivoting from openness to privacy. The way the light is curated is a testament to the design and build of this home.

The primary blends wonderfully with the bedroom as natural elements provide you the privacy you desire without impacting the natural light.

The backyard brings fun and privacy. Oriented around a massive, heritage oak with curated landscaping and lush, green spaces, the backyard gives you the option of where you want to enjoy your meals or family time.

While it is important to appreciate family and friends this upcoming holiday, this San Antonio home has earned some appreciation as it stands out amongst other modern homes.
