A 1953 home designed by Philip Lloyd Shoop, one of San Antonio’s preeminent architects of the era, has hit the market. And, as might be expected from its pedigree, this property is a Mid-Century Modern marvel.
Listed for $2.2 million, the four-bedroom, four-bath Alamo Heights residence includes all the hallmarks of that revered design school, including clean lines, eye-catching angles, slanted ceilings and an abundance of natural light.
However, as the sales listing notes, the home has since been “reimagined for 21st Century living with materials that elevate every surface.”
What does that mean?
For, one it means brick and distinctively patterned pecky cypress wood adorn interior living areas, bringing rich texture and offering a natural contrast to the pristine white that dominates. The redesign also incorporated stylish upgrades such as handcrafted cement tiles with white Carrara inlay.
The 3,500-square-foot dwelling’s primary suite boasts oak floors, a pair of large walk-in closets and a private sitting area framed by the oaks outside.
This home is listed by Jason Glast with Phyllis Browning Co.
