This 1929 San Antonio mansion was built by a top builder behind Monte Vista's fanciest homes

A Terrell Hills mansion built by the builder behind some of the fanciest homes in San Antonio's Monte Vista Historic District has hit the market for just shy of $1.3 million.

The 1929 home was designed by John Hagy, one San Antonio's most sought-out builders during the first half of the last century. His custom work for deep-pocketed clients dots not just Monte Vista but also Terrell Hills and Alamo Heights.

This Tutor-style home encompasses 3,500 feet on a half-acre lot, and its interior features include a massive living room with exposed cathedral-like ceiling beams, multiple arched doorways and a wood-paneled sunroom and bar area. The grand staircase also features a Hagy trademark: its railing is made of wrought iron with a bannister made of leather-encased rope.

The current owners purchased the three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home in the 1980s after a major renovation, according to its agent. Although the sales listing notes that the structure is again in need of a major reno, the writeup trumpets an "incredible opportunity to bring this historic home to renewed grandeur."

This home is listed by Adrianne Frost with Phyllis Browning Co.
