A Colonial Revival home designed by the legendary architect behind San Antonio landmarks including the McNay Art Museum, the Plaza Hotel and Municipal Auditorium recently has hit market with price tag just shy of $1.4 million. <\/p>\n

Described in its sales listing as a \u201chidden jewel in historic Monte Vista,\u201d the 1923 home was designed by Atlee B. Ayres, who served as the state architect of Texas from 1914 to 1917 and created stunning commercial and residential properties all over San Antonio during the \u201920s and \u201930s.<\/p>\n

The three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence is nestled on a nearly half-acre lot near Landa Library & Gardens, which its listing describes as \u201cresort-like.\u201d Indeed, the lush, well-manicured grounds include a pool, a casita\/studio, a two-car garage and a porte coch\u00e8re.<\/p>\n

In addition to the hardwood floors and large formal rooms common to homes from the Alamo City\u2019s Gilded Age, this 3,100-square-foot structure includes an updated kitchen with a breakfast room that looks out onto a large screened porch. <\/p>\n

In addition to a butler\u2019s pantry, the structure also includes a rarity for South Texas: an actual basement.<\/p>\n
