A slice of Olmos Park luxury and historic charm is now up for grabs, with two homes on the market that blend traditional style with modern amenities. The first, priced at a cool $2.75 million, is a 1941 beauty located at 10 Ironwood Road. Complete with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a spacious four-car tandem garage, this home doesn't just offer room to spread out -- it gives a whole new meaning to living large. "This home is a rare find, combining privacy, luxury, and the epitome of classic elegance in a sublime location," real estate broker Jason Glast told the Express News.
Not to be outshined, another Olmos Park gem is on the market, this one a 1930s home that's been brought seamlessly to meet modern standards. Listed at $1.4 million, the property at 209 W. El Prado features four bedrooms, three and a half baths, and a large backyard perfect to comfortably entertain. While thoroughly updated, the house retains its historical essence, with original light fixtures, fireplaces, and stained glass windows. According to the house listing, "the home ... has been fully updated and remodeled to modern standards while retaining its original style and appeal."
The Ironwood residence, besides its internal luxury, boasts an expansive covered patio, a guest suite for utmost comfort and privacy, and a study for those seeking a peaceful retreat. Within its walls, updates have been carefully executed to preserve the home's traditional appeal while ensuring contemporary elegance. The Bexar County Appraisal District valued the home at $1.955 million last year, marking the current asking price as a significant uptick.
Both homes tout significant lot sizes and privacy that is hard to come by in the bustling Olmos Park area. The El Prado address comes with a finished basement and attic, offering ample additional storage opportunities. It's a property that does more than provide shelter; it offers an experience steeped in history, yet fully equipped for today's living standards. Prospective buyers looking to grab a piece of this historic suburb can find a blend of the past and present, with each home telling its unique story. "Marble and white cabinetry can be found throughout the home, adding to the modern appeal," the Express News explained about the El Prado property.
