San Antonio Current StaffThe Monte Vista Historic District has long been hailed as one of San Antonio's crown jewel neighborhoods. Indeed, due to its popularity, it's nearly impossible to find homes there that haven't already been massively remodeled and bear the accompanying price tag.
But fixer-uppers appear from time to time — such as this 98-year-old Spanish Colonial Revival-style property, which has only been owned by two families during its history, according to its sales listing. Although in disrepair, it's easy to imagine that it once made a distinctive impression from its spot along busy San Pedro Avenue.
"While it bears the marks of age and neglect, its sturdy bones and enduring character serve as a testament to the stories woven into its very foundation," the property listing gushes about the house, recently listed for $550,000."With each creak of its aged floorboards, whispers of generations past echo through its halls, offering a glimpse into a bygone era."
Of course, tapping into the elegance of that bygone era will require some serious elbow grease and a lot of money. Even so, the four-bedroom, two-bath residence boasts plenty of room at 2,700 square feet. It also has a separate living space above the garage, and it's hard not to notice the its dramatic red roof and striped awnings.
