A mansion recently listed in San Antonio for $1.3 million has a flair for the dramatic.
The four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath Spanish-style abode near the Dominion is tailored for the homeowner who wants to stand out. This is immediately apparent since the first of many ceiling frescoes greets guests in the structure’s elaborate entryway.
The dining room is even more dramatic, with cherubs in a heavenly fresco on the ceiling, as if Michelangelo himself lent his talents to the 2005-constructed home. Down a flight of stairs from the dual-oven, dual-refrigerator chef’s kitchen, a wine cellar with its own tasting area adds further Old World intrigue to the singular abode.
But perhaps the most unusual feature in this house is its hidden room, which realtor Kelley Martin is loathe to reveal, at risk of spoiling its secret location.
“We don’t want to publicize where the hidden room is in the house or it wouldn’t be hidden,” Martin said. “It’s not even on the drawn-up floor plan.”
The home boasts two primary suites on its first floor, each with its own en suite bathroom. The main primary suite also includes serene patio access, two walk-in closets and a spa-like bathroom featuring dual vanities, a glass-enclosed walk-in shower and a freestanding tub.
Upstairs, the home offers two additional bedrooms and bathrooms along with a private movie theatre and game room.
Not to be outdone, the backyard brings its own drama with a waterfall that cascades behind its luxurious pool and spa. And if that’s not enough, the property also features a koi pond and a structure in the shape of a two-story castle, which adults and children alike can enjoy.
This home is listed by Kelley Martin with Keller Williams Legacy.
