Originally built in 1939 for the developer of Terrell Hills, this magnificent Atlee B. Ayres-designed Spanish Revival estate is a rare opportunity to own a true piece of San Antonio history. Set on nearly an acre (.9 acres) of open, spacious grounds and gated courtyards, this 6,242 sq ft residence is a striking blend of architectural pedigree, timeless elegance, and generous space. This legacy property is perched on a hilltop in one of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods. Wrap-around interior porches with stunning wood designs grace the informal living areas, along with the formal living room, designed for both grand entertaining and comfortable daily living. The dramatic entryway makes a lasting first impression with high, intricate ceilings, beautiful crown moldings, and a stunning solid wood staircase that speaks to the home’s historical craftsmanship. Details such as a domed plaster ceiling, original concrete tile flooring, and Malou Flato hand-painted tiles are a few of the intricate, unique features of the property. The many arched doorways and windows provide abundant natural light. The silver leaf painted enclaves showcase invaluable treasures. The home has 3 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms with the primary bedroom upstairs. The garage features a walk-in refrigerator and freezer—a rare luxury. The three-car garage offers ample room for vehicles and storage. This is not just a home, it’s an architectural statement and a rare opportunity to own an extraordinary, iconic property.
