San Antonio architect Carleton Adams’ breathtaking creations include some of San Antonio’s most notable landmarks, from Jefferson High School to the Alamo Cenotaph (the latter including sculpture by Pompeo Coppini, of course).
However, Adams was largely a residential architect and designed many of the Monte Vista Historic District’s most stately homes, including this sprawling Craftsman house recently listed for $1.9 million. The distinctive facade includes both stone and wood, and it boasts two separate covered entryways.
The 1921 residence spreads out over 4,300 square feet, including four bedrooms and three and a half baths, but its living area is the interior’s true showstopper. The room features a massive bay window, a fireplace and what the sales listing describes as “intricate Terrazzo floors.”
A tiled balcony extends over one of the two front entryways, offering views of the one of San Antonio’s prime Gilded Age neighborhoods.
This home is listed by Ann Van Pelt with Phyllis Browning Co.
