Historic Monte Vista home hits the market with rare finished basement and wraparound porch

An elegantly updated 1918 house in San Antonio's historic Monte Vista neighborhood recently underwent a $20,000 price cut after 139 days on the market.

The current asking price of the four-bedroom, 3-bathroom home is $755,000.

As one of its most unique features, the 2,800-square-foot dwelling includes a finished basement, which is a rarity in Texas. The basement's floors are a luxurious granite, according to the listing.

The primary suite upstairs has French doors that open onto the second story of the house's double-decker wraparound porch. A breezy, covered patio offers evenings enjoyed al fresco. Back inside, the bedroom's en suite bathroom impresses with a modern standalone tub and a spa-like walk-in shower with gorgeous floor-to-ceiling blue tiles.

In the kitchen, stark white cabinets and a subway tile backsplash contrast with dark, original hardwood floors. Nearby, the dining room's table is dramatically framed by bay windows. The room's black and white checkered tile floor, which can be seen from the kitchen, adds a patterned pop to the otherwise minimalist scenery.

A study is surrounded by three walls of windows, allowing plenty of natural light into the space.
