When someone buys up a vintage home and goes to great pains to update it, the results are often disappointing. <\/p>\n

Sure, it\u2019s great to have a more open floor plan and modern conveniences, but it makes no sense to gut an old house and strip away its decades-old charm.<\/p>\n

Good thing the owners who recently listed this 1940 stone-exterior house in Olmos Park understood how to conduct an extensive reno without stripping an historic property of its original beauty. The four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath property listed a week ago for a little over $1.1 million. <\/p>\n

The front door with its round window looks straight out of a \u201940s design book, and beautiful hardwood floors remain throughout the house. A tiled fireplace and arched doorways add old-school elegance to the living area. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the kitchen, while outfitted with what appears to be new, well, everything manages to feature updated appliances and countertops while hewing to the sleek concepts of mid-century design. <\/p>\n

Elsewhere, busy black-and-white wallpaper manages to give rooms a look of contemporary elegance with a nod back to earlier design schemes.<\/p>\n

Who says you can\u2019t look backward while living in the now? <\/p>\n
