Inside, natural light, warm finishes and architectural details give the home a personality all its own. Every room has been updated with care while maintaining the character that makes the home so special. The living and kitchen areas offer an easy flow for everyday living and entertaining, while a downstairs room currently used as a dining room provides additional flexibility as a bedroom, home office or flex space.

A separate storage room at the rear provides additional functionality. An electric front gate provides gated access and opens wide for convenient vehicle access or trailer parking. And the location is part of the story. Nearby Mission Concepcion, established at its present location in 1731, is one of San Antonio's historic Spanish Colonial missions and part of the San Antonio Missions UNESCO World Heritage Site.... the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Texas.
