A Mid-Century Modern marvel for sale in Castle Hills was designed by an architect who worked for the firm behind San Antonio’s Tower of the Americas.
Emmit Tuggle was an architect with O’Neil Ford & Associates, the firm responsible for designing a variety of local landmarks, including the UT-San Antonio campus, many of the buildings at Trinity University, the campus of private preparatory school St. Mary’s Hall and the renovation of La Villita.
Tuggle himself was known for his Mid-Century Modern houses, including this four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath dwelling listed for just under $750,000.
“Step inside, and you’ll feel as though you’ve walked onto the set of Mad Men, where Don Draper himself might stroll through the door!” the listing states.
Indeed, some of the features most sought after by lovers of Mid-Century Modern architecture can be found in this property, including glass-block partition walls, clean lines, wood paneling and bold colors. One of the bathrooms even features a matching avocado sink and toilet.
Avocado, a signature shade of Mid-Century Modern design, is echoed in the kitchen cabinets, which contrast with another popular color of the era — bright turquoise.
The home seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living with two screened-in porches, a newly finished deck and a wraparound balcony accessible from every bedroom.
In the backyard of the 0.624-acre lot, mature trees surround the home so densely that living there may feel like being on a greenbelt.
This home is listed by Meredith Thompson with Phyllis Browning Real Estate.
