A two-story stone home has hit the market for $1.9 million, and it’s the work of H.C. Thorman, one of the best-known residential developers from San Antonio’s Gilded Age.
Thorman was the mind behind the stately Olmos Park and Monticello Park neighborhoods, and he seemed to have a proclivity for distinctive stone exteriors, as the Current has covered in the past. This 1940 house is no exception.
In addition to its history, the 4,400-square-foot dwelling offers numerous amenities including three fireplaces, which are located both inside and outside.
Claiming a nearly half-acre corner lot, the home boasts five bedrooms, three and a half baths, two living areas and a sunroom with three walls of windows. Upstairs, a large primary suite connects to a private study and home office, which has its own balcony.
Outside, the backyard is built for entertaining and includes a pool, spa, outdoor kitchen and lounge area complete with an outdoor fireplace. A circular driveway and an extended private drive also come in handy for entertaining large gatherings.
This home is listed by Blair Pan with Phyllis Browning.
