A rare 1940s limestone cottage in the heart of the Monticello Park Historic District, complete with a fully separate guest casita - this is historic San Antonio living that blends modern convenience with vintage charm. At 336 North Drive, original wood floors carry through room after room, and small details like antique glass doorknobs are quiet reminders of the style and craftsmanship of a bygone era. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room with the kind of warmth new construction can't replicate, and a second living area and separate dining room offer the flexibility that modern life demands. The kitchen has been updated with stainless appliances, but it hasn't lost the charm that makes this house feel like it belongs to its prewar era. Down the hall, three bedrooms and two bathrooms give you choices: two of the bedrooms share an original pocket door and can function as one connected suite, ideal for kids, in-laws, or a private office setup. The primary bedroom goes further, with three closets and a south-facing private deck of its own - a small, quiet escape just steps from your bed. Out back, mature trees shade a large yard and an additional deck perfect for entertaining. And then there's the casita: 304 square feet, freshly painted with new flooring, complete with its own kitchenette and full bath. It's your guest space, rental, or studio, depending on the season of life you're in. All of this is located in one of San Antonio's most walkable and architecturally significant neighborhoods, just minutes from downtown, the Pearl, Medical Center and Woodlawn Lake. 336 North Drive was built to be lived in, not just admired!

Some homes are simply historic. Others have a story. Set along one of Monte Vista's beautiful tree-lined streets, 120 W. Craig Place is a remarkable piece of San Antonio architectural history. Identified by architectural historians as the L. J. Hart House and attributed to celebrated San Antonio architect Atlee B. Ayres, the residence is recognized as an important early example of Mission Revival architecture in the city. More than a century later, its character remains unmistakable. From the moment you arrive, the home's textured stucco exterior, distinctive architectural details and gracious porches set the tone for what awaits inside. The grand living room is filled with natural light, framed by 10-foot ceilings, a fireplace and original hardwood floors that carry throughout much of the home. Beautiful pocket doors open to the formal dining room, where a second fireplace creates an elegant setting for everything from holiday dinners to evenings with friends. Beyond the dining room, a traditional butler's pantry connects to a generously sized kitchen designed for the way people live today. Granite countertops, a six-burner gas range and an informal dining area provide plenty of room for everyday gatherings, while the adjoining bar with Sub-Zero wine refrigeration is ready for entertaining. One of the home's great strengths is its flexibility. A first-floor bedroom, currently used as an office, is paired with a nearby guest bath and offers an ideal space for working from home, hosting overnight guests or creating a private library or den. Upstairs, the primary suite includes an oversized closet, along with two additional bedrooms. The third floor adds yet another unexpected layer to the home, with a spacious room and full bath that can become a fifth bedroom, media room, game room, studio or private retreat. And then there is the outdoor living. A broad wraparound porch overlooks the yard, pool and hot tub, creating the kind of setting that invites long lunches, evening cocktails and unhurried weekends outside. An upstairs porch offers an entirely different experience, a quiet perch for morning coffee beneath the canopy of one of San Antonio's most storied neighborhoods. A two-car carport with an EV wall charger adds a decidedly modern convenience. That balance is what makes 120 W. Craig so special. Original hardwoods, pocket doors, fireplaces and gracious proportions speak to another era, while thoughtful updates and flexible living spaces make it beautifully suited for today. And the setting is quintessential central San Antonio. Monte Vista offers the architectural character and established streetscape that have made it one of the city's most distinctive neighborhoods, while Downtown, the Pearl, the San Antonio Zoo and San Antonio International Airport are all conveniently accessible. Favorite neighborhood destinations including La Fonda on Main, Barbaro, Capparelli's on Main and Merit Coffee are nearby. For someone searching for a home with beauty, history and a genuine sense of place, 120 W. Craig Place offers something increasingly difficult to find: a chance to become the next steward of a meaningful piece of San Antonio's architectural story.
