About this home

Built in 1905 for a relative of King William, resident Hugo Griesenbeck, who lived just to the right, this striking Victorian holds a meaningful place in the neighborhood's story. It's even said to sit beside the oldest home in the district. The original millwork is captivating-intricate, purposeful, and remarkably intact. Rich hardwood floors extend throughout, anchoring the interior in character and heritage. Modest in scale from the street, the home opens into airy ceilings, well-proportioned rooms, and a personality that feels both vibrant and welcoming. The entry sets the tone immediately, offering a gracious introduction each time guests arrive. The front foyer, complete with staircase and built-in shelving, carries the presence of a classic study; distinguished yet comfortable. It's a first impression that feels both refined and timeless. At the rear of the home, the family room is lined with windows that invite in soft daylight and frame views of the backyard. It's a space that naturally encourages you to linger. Nearby, you'll find a full bath with shower and a laundry room that smartly serves double duty as a pantry. Just beyond the back steps, curated landscaping, a paver patio, established trees, and a pergola create an outdoor setting ready to become whatever you envision. Upstairs offers three bedrooms. One featuring an ensuite bath and private balcony, another with its own balcony retreat. Two full baths serve the second level, including one with the timeless clawfoot tub so often cherished in historic residences. Off-street parking accommodates two vehicles in the driveway, with additional room available behind the side gate extending into the backyard; an uncommon convenience for homes of this era. Here, downtown living truly means walkability, with restaurants, cafes, and everyday destinations just steps away. This is more than a Victorian showpiece. It's a tangible chapter of San Antonio's past-offering connection, charm, and a story ready for its next steward.
