Overview

As you enter off N. Presa to ascend the terrazzo tile stairs to this second-floor home, you are immediately surrounded by beautiful hand-painted scenes of the outdoors, giving you a sense that you have left the big city behind. And yet, you are in the heart of downtown San Antonio. Once you are on the second floor, you may enter the secondary private bedroom and bathroom or step into a separate entrance to the main home. This setup is perfect for guests! Perched above Charles Court, this hidden gem is a true example of city living. This historic building, built in the early 1900s that began as a publishing company, provides a spacious and truly unique opportunity to be private, yet there is so much happening around you from the many restaurants, the Majestic and The Empire Theatres, the San Antonio Riverwalk, galleries, Hemisfair Park, and more. With 14' ceilings, the open living room area feels incredibly spacious with a formal dining area, a large living room with a fireplace, and a quaint library with bookshelves built off to the side. The kitchen offers an eat-in breakfast area, and a chef's style large gas range for entertaining. Off the kitchen through French doors is a very private New Orleans-style patio overlooking a courtyard filled with a fountain and lush plantings. The primary bedroom, perched above the living area, has an ensuite and a large walk-in closet. The primary bedroom has private access to a small office space. Then there is the Harry Potter room where the washer/dryer and storage live. This is one of those very special places that you have to see.
