About this home

Nestled in the heart of historic Monticello Park, this 1928 Spanish Eclectic residence sits on a generous quarter-acre lot and was once recognized as one of the largest single-story homes of its era. The stucco exterior, slate-tiled front porch, and detached casita create an inviting presence that reflects the charm and craftsmanship of a bygone time. Step inside to a grand living room featuring 10-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, a fireplace, thick crown molding, Spanish Lace plaster walls, and period sconces that enhance the home's historic ambiance. A quaint sunroom just beyond offers marble flooring and an antique chandelier fan, creating a wonderful space to relax with a book or morning coffee. The living room flows into the formal dining room through dramatic arched openings flanked by smaller decorative arches with wrought-iron accents. Original sconces illuminate the dining room, adding warmth and character. Beyond the dining room is a charming breakfast room, currently serving as an intimate television room, which opens to a spacious eat-in kitchen. Here you'll find original white subway tile backsplash trimmed in black, hexagon tile countertops, gas cooking, and a window above the sink overlooking the yard. Throughout the home, hardwood floors lie beneath much of the interior, complemented by original Miracle doors and architectural details rarely found today. The generous primary bedroom features a powder bath. The hall bath showcases vintage charm with original tile accented in mint green, a cast-iron tub and a separate tiled shower. A large front bedroom features French doors that open to the living room, offering flexibility as a bedroom, office, or additional living space. Outside, a covered back porch, one-car garage and detached casita provide additional possibilities for guests, a home office, studio, or rental opportunity. The casita includes a separate living room, bedroom, kitchen, and bath. Rich with original character and architectural details, this Monticello Park treasure is perfect for entertaining and ready for its next chapter. With window-unit cooling currently in place, the home offers an opportunity for a new owner to thoughtfully update HVAC system and create their dream home while preserving a remarkable piece of San Antonio history.
