A 1911 home near San Antonio’s Monte Vista Historic District has hit the market, and it doesn’t just have a rare-for-South Texas basement, but a basement with the original water well dug when the home was built.
The well was “once the lifeline to the historic San Pedro Springs for the home’s first inhabitants,” according to the sales listing, which also praises the 3,400-square-foot home’s “craftsmanship and elegance of a bygone era.” Fitting for that bygone era, the residence’s third story once served a ballroom, and its wood dance floor from that time period remains.
Adding to the historic significance, the house was designed by Fort Worth architects Sanguinet & Staats, who were also known for high-profile San Antonio structures including downtown’s Rand and Gibbs buildings.
The four-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath property was listed last month with a $700,000 price tag.
