The home was constructed in 1910 by Atlee B. Ayers, the famed architect who built Freeman Coliseum and the mansion that later became the McNay Art Museum. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the house was also the residence of renowned artist and printmaker Mary Bonner, who made a splash in the Paris art scene with her depictions of cowboys.
Ayers built the home with concrete reinforced with steel and covered in stucco, and billing it as one of the first “fire-proof” homes of San Antonio. The residence was modeled after an Italian villa built in the 1600s, and it features Italian accents throughout, including tile work, fireplaces and fixtures.
Guests can swim in the luxurious pool or view the San Antonio skyline from the breathtaking rooftop deck.
“I’ve lived in San Antonio my whole life, and that’s the best view of the city I’ve ever seen,” listing agent Matt Laird said.
Located on a corner lot, the house currently operates as an Airbnb, with an annual gross revenue of $250,000, according to its listing.
