One fine day on a quick jaunt to over to visit the Shady Couple we spotted a sign for an open house at lovely stucco 2 story in right here in the Deco District. The home is charming and rich in architectural details which is why we love this area so much. Beautiful on the outside, it obvious when we stepped through the arched oak front doorway we had found something special that we just had to share with you. Luckily the parties involved graciously allowed us to arrange a time to come back by and photograph this stunning abode. The home was built in 1928 and has a continental flavor Deco period homes are famous for. San Antonio is full of these little pockets of beautiful vintage houses. Open sesame... treasures await. The cast iron planter with majestic palm captures your attention as you enter the foyer. A small sitting area is to the right. Lets take a closer look. Through the arched entry gorgeous loveseat , artwork and golden silk draperies adorn the nook. And a charming little luxe chair in the corner. And living room is to the left. And oh what a living room it is. Where do I begin. Light fills the space from the generous bank of windows. Artfully arranged alabaster grapes, an antique crown and beautiful lamp complete this striking vignette. Those chests are calling to me. Lets take a closer look. Simply sublime. The shell encrusted chests are just a hint of the homeowner's incredible collection of shells shown throughout the home and grounds. Speaking of the homeowner, by now you are probably wondering about the creator of this fabulous home. I understand from the realtor that he is in merchandising for a national department store. And the consensus of opinion of anyone touring the home while we were there..."He should be a designer!" And I say with a capitol "D". From this angle we can see a little of where we have been and where we are going as well. The dining room through another arch. Just past the wrought iron sconces . The dining room is perfection in my book. I love how the homeowner has carried the same silk draperies through each and every room. Adding to the flow and harmony of the space. The beauty of symmetry coupled with an antique portrait . Your teaser picture. My favorite spot in the home. Love the octagon shaped tray ceiling. The antique hanging light fixtures are present throughout the home. The den: French doors surround the room. And in the corner a bell jar sconce, one of two. The kitchen with matching chandeliers, granite and antique shutters on the pantry. Upstairs to the second floor. Beautiful french headboard and gilded settee in bedroom one. Bedroom two with this amazing tortoise daybed and bamboo benches. Bedroom 3 of 4 with this spectacular wrought iron bed and fireplace (not pictured) 1 of 2 upstairs bathrooms. Charming original fittings with updated black and white tile. Let's make our way outside. You won't be disappointed. Trust me. Did I mention there is a second story rooftop terrace overlooking the garden. And a serene spot for meditation and reflection. Linen panels in the bays of the garage are such a chic trick. Make it look like an outbuilding rather than a parking spot. Perfect for a quick transformation into a party pavilion. I want to thank the realtor and homeowner for allowing us to share this Deco District beauty with you. And many thanks to LondonHIM for taking each and every one of the pictures for this post (and many more). I think I see an SLR in your future. Remember that this home is on the market. 4 bedrooms 3 baths and 2651 square feet.
