A three-bedroom, two-bath home in the San Antonio neighborhood of Northwood has hit the market for $995,000, and it comes with a slew of distinctive architectural details.
The charm starts, as it should, at the curb, where a winding driveway shaded by mature trees leads up to bright blue double doors with sconces on either side.
The blue doors open onto an inviting front courtyard, where a star-shaped fountain takes center stage amid delicate metal patio furniture, vine-covered walls and copious potted plants.
The house itself, built in 1993, echoes elements of Santa Fe style, or a modernist take on Southwest architectural themes — albeit in a very ’90s way.
However, Cantera columns, which frame the home’s front door and are found throughout, add a touch of Old World elegance to the property. Such classical touches, also including a Cantera fireplace and chandeliers, intermingle with the more modernist elements of the home, like glass block walls and a wide-open floor plan, making for an eccentric combination.
The spacious primary suite comes with a Santa Fe-inspired fireplace, courtyard access and tranquil atrium views. Its en suite bath includes dual sinks, a garden tub, a separate shower, a walk-in closet and a private water closet.
The house comes with two additional bedrooms. One comes with a walk-in closet, and the other, overlooking the atrium, is currently set up as a library.
Much like the rest of the house, these rooms continue to blend the property’s disparate styles. Because if you’re going to pick a house with personality, why not choose a house that has more than one?
