Description

Step into the perfect blend of historic character and modern comfort in this beautifully renovated 1940 home, located in the heart of San Antonio's beloved Monticello Park Historic District. Fully renovated in 2020-including roof, HVAC, extensive plumbing, and extensive electrical-this home brings peace of mind with all the heavy lifting already complete. Original details shine throughout: warm wood floors, a cozy front porch, cute wooden window screens, and an electric-converted fireplace that adds ambiance without the fuss. Wide-slat interior shutters (2020) elevate the aesthetic with timeless style. The spacious open-concept living and dining area flows seamlessly into the stunning, modern kitchen. Featuring granite countertops, classic subway tile, a large eat-in island, a farmhouse sink, SS appliances and a gas range, this space checks every box for both everyday living and entertaining. The middle bedroom-currently used as a home office-offers flexible options for working from home, guest space, creative studio, or additional bedroom. In 2024, fresh insulation was blown into the attic to boost energy efficiency, and the laundry room was upgraded with custom cabinetry and butcher-block counters, creating a smart, functional mud-room-style space with great storage (including closets perfect for cleaning supplies). But the real showstopper is outside:The current owners added a spectacular screened porch and deck, crafted with raw cedar and composite decking. It's an incredible year-round hangout spot-bug-free, breezy, and beautifully designed. Just beyond it is a large open-air patio, ideal for entertaining, outdoor dining, or hosting gatherings under the stars. A charming fire pit area sits at the end of the driveway for cozy evenings. Storage is abundant thanks to the rare detached 2-car garage, offering loads of space that older homes often lack. All of this is nestled in vibrant Monticello Park, known for its tree-lined streets, Spanish Revival architecture, and unbeatable central location. Walk or bike to Woodlawn Lake Park, and enjoy nearby local favorites like The Original Donut Shop and El Paraiso Ice Cream. Quick access to Downtown, The Pearl, Medical Center, and major highways makes this the perfect spot for both convenience and community charm.
