For those who want to feel like they live in the tree canopy of a tropical environment, a newly listed San Antonio home has swung onto the scene like Tarzan on a vine.
Tucked away on an oversized lot in the coveted Monte Vista Historic District and listed for $800,000, this property surrounded by palms and heritage oaks feels is offers a jungle vantage point — even though it’s in the heart of San Antonio and a stone’s thrown from Trinity University.
Built in 1910, the three-bedroom, three-bath home has been extensively renovated over its century-plus of existence, according to its listing, leaving the property drastically different from how it started. What remains today is a thoroughly modern 2,498-square-foot residence with breathtaking views and contemporary conveniences.
The three-story structure features a converted loft on its third floor, which can be used as a playroom, media room, creative studio or retreat, the listing notes. Meanwhile, the second-floor living room, floor-to-ceiling windows showcase sweeping views of the downtown San Antonio skyline just beyond the lush treetops nearby.
“Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee or watching the city lights come alive in the evening, the downtown skyline becomes part of the living experience,” the listing gushes.
Out back, a 10-by-25-foot pool occupies the space between the main house and the garage, complete with its own apartment.
The only thing missing might be a zip line.
