An opulent home built by famed San Antonio real-estate mogul H.C. Thorman has hit the market near Olmos Park, the same historic neighborhood he masterminded during San Antonio’s 1920s and ’30s Gilded Age.
This 1928 home, which seamlessly blends Spanish and Mediterranean architecture with modern luxury, is listed for $1.1 million.
The five-bedroom, three-bathroom estate on Hildebrand Avenue demonstrates Thorman’s fluency in the Mediterranean architectural styles, from its stucco exterior to its red Spanish-tile roof and arched patio entrance.
Inside, the grandeur continues with Roman columns, exposed wood beams, elegant ironwork, decorative details carved into the stairs and more elaborately patterned tile work.
However, modern conveniences and finishes also abound in the thoughtfully updated property. These include copious storage and an open-concept layout with multiple living and dining areas. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, ample counter space and a walk-in pantry.
The downstairs primary suite also includes custom cabinetry along with a walk-in closet, a wet bar-slash-coffee bar and access to a private patio. Upstairs, four bedrooms surround a central common area that can serve as a game room, flex space or additional living room.
Outside, the house extends its entertaining space with multiple covered patios. In addition to the five bedrooms in the main residence, the property’s detached garage also includes an upstairs studio apartment with full bath, perfect for guests, rental income, a creative studio or home office.
