1920s Craftsman bungalow for sale in San Antonio comes with vintage charm and a rare basement

A home over a century old has hit the market for $760,000 in San Antonio, and it comes with rare qualities, including an unfinished basement.

Constructed in 1922, this home oozes historic charm, but has updates where it counts.

Key improvements, such as mechanical, electrical, and plumbing updates completed in 2019 — along with a recirculating hot water system, built-in ice maker, and a water filtration system with a softener — bring the home into the 21st Century and increase its functionality.

And unlike most Texas homes, this one has the utilitarian feature of an unfinished basement for extra storage.

But the historic charm still comes through with gorgeous hardwood floors, original windows and built-ins around the living room fireplace.

The house also features a large back deck and generous backyard, perfect for outdoor entertaining.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom home is located in the Mahncke Park neighborhood, close to University of the Incarnate Word, Brackenridge Park, the Witte Museum, the San Antonio Zoo, and numerous dining options.

It’s hard to believe that this home is going for less than $800,000. But then again, in this buyer’s market, prices are in the basement.

This home is listed by Shail Patel with Kuper Sothebys International Realty.
