A charming Victorian cottage for sale in San Antonio\u2019s King William neighborhood has hit the market for just $920,000, a steal for the area. But that price tag isn\u2019t the only thing noteworthy about it. <\/p>\n

Dubbed the Anderson House, the structure\u2019s deep history dates all the way back to 1891, when San Antonio experienced its first major boom. Wells Fargo agent C.C. Hazelton bought the cottage from developer Axel Meerscheidt, whose German architecture pedigree shaped many of the historic neighborhood\u2019s most iconic houses.<\/p>\n

The house is situated on Crofton Avenue, which curves with the San Antonio River. Over its long life, the structure passed between a series of owners before falling into the hands of the longtime residents who gave it its namesake, Ezekiel and Mary Anderson.<\/p>\n

Mary Anderson lived in the house for 47 years, including after the passing of her husband. Eventually, she sold it to her daughter and son-in-law.<\/p>\n

At one point, the house became the residence of Gloria Pins Arecchi, who served as president of the King William Association from 1984 to 1986.<\/p>\n

Despite being 135 years old, the home\u2019s interior is fresh and new, without betraying its deep history.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe renovation that was done on it was very tasteful, respectful and functional,\u201d listing agent Hoda Cummings said.<\/p>\n

Some of the features in the three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath property are obviously modern, such as the massive kitchen full of Sub-Zero appliances.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t get a house that old with a kitchen that large,\u201d said Cummings. <\/p>\n

Modern touches abound in the bathrooms as well, such as a large walk-in shower. Playful cherry blossom wallpaper appears over a sink and bold tile work decorates the area around the minimalist standalone tub.<\/p>\n

A large primary suite has double doors that open onto a rustic, vined veranda and the backyard, where a swing set adds a touch of whimsy.<\/p>\n

Who says an old house can\u2019t learn new tricks?<\/p>\n
