Description

A Mid-Century Modern residence designed by architect Emmitt Tuggle of O'Neil Ford & Associates. Built in 1963 and set on .43 acre in Oak Park, this single-story brick home retains much of its original architectural character and offers approximately 3,435 square feet with four bedrooms, three baths, and a casita. A distinctive breeze-block courtyard leads to the foyer, where the home?s thoughtful connection between interior and exterior spaces becomes immediately apparent. To the left, the expansive living room features terrazzo flooring, 9-foot ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, a wall of built-in cabinetry, and a pass-through to the kitchen. Opposing sets of sliding glass doors create a wonderful sightline through the room, opening to the front courtyard on one side and the covered rear patio on the other. The dining room continues the original design with brick-like tile flooring, a built-in buffet with illuminated glass-front cabinetry, and sliding doors opening to the courtyard. The retro kitchen remains largely intact with abundant cabinetry, Formica counters, an island, and built-in desk. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet plus additional closet storage, double sinks, and a tub/shower combination. Each of the three secondary bedrooms includes built-in cabinetry and 2 original baths. The two-car garage, separate workshop, and casita with bath are incorporated beneath the same roofline. Outside, a circular drive provides a gracious approach, while the expansive backyard includes a covered patio and terrazzo terrace. The property is ready for restoration and updating, but its largely original condition presents an opportunity to thoughtfully preserve and reimagine a significant example of San Antonio Mid-Century Modern design.
