Beyond all its interior space, the 3,353-square-foot home also has plenty of curb appeal. Palm trees complement a Spanish tile roof and stucco façade worthy of Ibiza. Beyond the intricately carved, arched front door lie wide-plank oak floors, elegant recessed lighting and plenty of crown molding.
The 1953 residence's historic touches are balanced with strikingly modern details by interior designer Cash VanBuskirk. Unexpected color choices lie at every turn, from dark evergreen cabinets in the kitchen to yellow-and-brown checkered tile work in one of the bathrooms.
French doors open onto a breezy balcony from the upstairs primary suite. Two of the many bedrooms have a pair of beds each. One of those bedrooms even has a sliding glass door that opens onto the pool patio, making it ideal for overnight rental guests.
Indeed, the whole house looks like a boutique hotel, and that’s the whole idea, said listing agent Roberto Varela of Varela Properties. It was redesigned as a short-term rental, and its owner currently charges around $1,000 a night.
“There aren’t a lot of luxury properties in San Antonio, so people will pretty much pay any price to have one of these properties,” Varela said.
The kidney-shaped pool in the backyard is the stuff dreams are made of. It includes large umbrellas, a massive outdoor dining table, lounge areas and outdoor fireplace. Swimmers can even rinse off the chlorine at an outdoor shower located poolside.
The property is listed for just shy of $1.65 million.
