It’s tough to find homes in San Antonio’s River Road Historic District, which is tucked into a quiet pocket bordered by the San Antonio River, Brackenridge Park Golf Course and U.S. Highway 281.
The enclave is small, and owners tend to hang on to their property.
However, as evidenced by a delightfully decorated 1920 home that just listed in the River Road area, opportunities do come up from time to time.
The three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence hangs onto many of the historical details of its era, while incorporating numerous well-executed updates. Among those are an eye-catching slatted living room ceiling with recessed lighting and a modern kitchen filled with top-of-the-line appliances and exquisitely crafted cabinetry.
Creative color schemes abound, and shiny hardwood floors run throughout the house. A second story offers a flexible space that could be used as an office or even a secondary suite.
A screened porch overlooks gardens professionally designed by a landscape architect, which incorporate drought-resistant plants, according to the sales listing.
Given this dwelling’s special location, it probably won’t be on the market for long. Even with a $1.2 million asking price.
This home is listed by Carol Jinkins with Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty.
