A mid-century marvel for sale in San Antonio\u2019s Monticello Park neighborhood was designed by an architect from the famous firm that built the Tower of the Americas.<\/p>\n

Emmit Tuggle was an architect in O\u2019Neil Ford & Associates, the firm responsible for designing or building a variety of local landmarks, including the renovation of La Villita, UT-San Antonio many of the buildings at Trinity University, and the campus of private preparatory school St. Mary\u2019s Hall.<\/p>\n

Tuggle himself was known for his Mid-Century Modern houses, including this four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath gem newly listed for $750,000.<\/p>\n

True to the hallmarks of its design style, the 1967-built home features clean lines, an expansive living room area, original terrazzo flooring and walls of windows.<\/p>\n

But rather than sacrificing privacy to bathe its rooms in light, Tuggle devised quite the solution. Courtyards enclosed in brick walls enable the home\u2019s interior to feel like it\u2019s a part of the outdoors without giving the neighbors a show.<\/p>\n

Situated on a coveted corner lot in the neighborhood near Woodlawn Lake and the Deco District, the swingin\u2019 pad also comes with a number of mature palm trees, which somehow fit right in with the Atomic era of the home. <\/p>\n

Inside the Don Draper-worthy abode, walls are covered in wood paneling and stone. The living room flows seamlessly into the dining room, which both have their own fireplaces. <\/p>\n

The kitchen is large, with walls of built-in Scavolini kitchen cabinets exuding a futuristic air. After all, this home was built one year before San Antonio\u2019s World\u2019s Fair, where O\u2019Neil Ford & Associates debuted their iconic Tower of the Americas, forever changing the cityscape of San Antonio.<\/p>\n

Like the iconic tower, this home lends a touch of futurism to the landscape just two years before we went to the moon, when America seemed full of possibility.<\/p>\n

This home is listed by\u00a0Wayne Ramirez<\/a> with Keller Williams Heritage.
