Tucked beside the San Antonio Botanical Garden, this exceptional 1930s-built mid-century modern home has been masterfully preserved and reimagined with refined sophistication. A 50x100 ft TPO flat roof crowns the expansive, light-filled interiors where Saltillo tile, crisp architectural lines, and exposed brick walls create a rich blend of texture and warm organic aesthetic. Expertly curated interior design is complemented by custom lighting and built-in cabinetry throughout, while handcrafted Isaac Maxwell fixtures elevate both indoor and outdoor spaces. The home offers three bedrooms plus an oversized study or office, all flooded with natural light and showcasing original oak flooring. The spacious primary suite includes a generous walk-in closet and private courtyard access. Multiple outdoor living and entertaining areas evoke a tranquil, resort-like ambiance-an urban oasis thoughtfully designed for relaxation and gathering alike. Privately situated against a lushly landscaped lot, this residence offers unparalleled access to San Antonio's cultural and culinary heart. Just minutes by foot or bike from the Pearl, Brackenridge Park, Witte Museum, San Antonio Zoo, Central Market, and beloved local cafes and restaurants, this home is a rare offering of architectural integrity and modern luxury in one of the city's most desirable locations.
