Property Description

Set on an oversized corner lot in the heart of historic Dignowity Hill, this lovely Folk Victorian style, modern bungalow offers a rare combination of privacy, quiet, and architectural character just minutes from downtown San Antonio. Built in 2018, the home reflects the charm of early neighborhood design while delivering modern efficiency, thoughtful upgrades, and intelligent use of space. Across the street lies the historic San Antonio cemetery grounds, encompassing over 100 acres of preserved open space. Dignowity Hill was stablished in the late 1800s and was originally subdivided into large estate-sized lots for prominent residents, laying the groundwork for what became the city's first exclusive residential neighborhood. Today, the area is recognized as a historic district celebrated for its architectural legacy, mature landscape, and enduring sense of place. The presence of the cemetery creates a uniquely peaceful backdrop, offering long-term privacy and unobstructed views, offset by the energy of nearby East Houston Street. The home features high ceilings, engineered wood floors, an open-concept kitchen with quartz countertops, custom wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a spacious laundry room. An inviting covered front porch and airy Florida room extend the living space. Secondary bedrooms are connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath, and custom top-down/bottom-up window shades with light-filtering and blackout options are installed throughout. Outdoor spaces are thoughtfully designed and fully fenced, featuring dog fencing with removable panels, zoysia grass, picket fencing in the front yard, and privacy fencing near the driveway. The backyard includes hardscaping, a deck, and exterior lighting, while the side garden offers a gated entry, raised beds, irrigation, rain barrel, dry potting sink, shade screens, and gutters. A gated driveway accessed from the side street provides additional concrete parking and enhanced privacy, with a county office building next door further contributing to the quiet setting. Two heated and cooled sheds/workrooms with electricity provide flexible space for storage, hobbies, or office use, including a dedicated toolroom with a portable AC unit. Additional upgrades include a tankless water heater, electric vehicle charging plug, upgraded electrical panel supporting the sheds and charging plug, water softener, upgraded interior and exterior lighting, and a interior/exterior security camera system. Featured on HGTV's House Hunters in 2019, this home is a rare offering in one of San Antonio's most iconic historic neighborhoods, conveniently located near downtown, the Pearl, Blue Star, the River Walk, the Alamodome, Fort Sam Houston, major freeways, and the highly anticipated Project MARVEL.
