San Antonio, TX 78208 218 Coleman

Charming 2/1 in a quiet section of Government Hill with no through traffic. This well-maintained home was built in 1900 and moved from Broadway & Newell to its current placement in the late 60s. The owners chose to maintain the home's integrity rather than make it look like a cookie-cutter new home. The original long leaf pine wood floors remain throughout. The cozy fireplace features a thick, rough-milled mantle made from a downed central Texas mesquite tree. The walls of the dining room have been stripped to display the shiplap that lay beneath for over a century. The bathroom has been fully remodeled with a deep soak tub and floor-to ceiling subway tile from Spain. The kitchen has been updated with Venetian plaster walls, shelving made with 19th century reclaimed barn wood from upstate New York, and a Koehler cast iron corner sink. The house was weatherized, and insulation was installed this year. In addition, the sizable attic could be finished to significantly increase the overall square footage. More work could be done to the property if a more "polished' look is what you desire, but the home is move-in ready. The home sits on a deep fully fenced nearly quarter acre lot. Shade is plentiful from the trees including a 45-year-old oak. There is enough room to build a casita and still have room for two small yards if you decide to split the property.
