Set on an oversized corner lot in the heart of Monte Vista, one of San Antonio's most beloved historic neighborhoods, this architect-owned 1910 home blends character, comfort, and thoughtful contemporary design. Extensively updated over the years, the 2,498-square-foot residence honors its historic roots while embracing the way people live today. Original charm and modern conveniences come together in a home that feels both timeless and welcoming. A circular drive and motor court provide parking for up to six vehicles, while mature shade trees, including a magnificent heritage oak, create a sense of privacy and permanence. The spacious grounds are anchored by a 10' x 25' pool tucked between the main house and a detached one-car garage with an apartment above, providing flexible space for guests, a home office, creative studio, or potential rental income. Inside, the home reveals a series of distinctive living spaces, including a converted third-floor loft that serves beautifully as a playroom, media room, studio, or retreat. The true showstopper, however, is the second-floor living room, where walls of floor-to-ceiling glass capture sweeping views of the downtown San Antonio skyline. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee or watching the city lights come alive in the evening, the downtown skyline becomes part of the living experience.
