About the host
Hosted by Laura
My husband and I are San Antonio natives. I'm a former dolphin trainer turned successful Realtor; Ned is an insurance agent. Our priorities are our kids, Labrador, and church family. You'll find us surviving on Tex-Mex and take-out.
Why they chose this property
As a local Realtor, I specialize in Downtown properties and the surrounding neighborhoods. While luxury properties are my area of expertise, I love historic homes as well. The original architecture and made-to-last materials compliment its "walk to restaurants" lifestyle. This home is convenient to the Pearl, but in a hidden area.
This property was extensively renovated in 2019 but still has 1910 bones. All four original wood pocket doors are still in use. Original shiplap walls and wood floors expose the home's history. The hot pink front and back doors are also original, along with the (resurfaced) blue clawfoot tub.

What makes this property unique
You're seriously close to everything! Driving from The Hot Tamale: 3 min to Pearl // 5 min to Riverwalk (Downtown) // 5 min to The Alamo // 9 min to SAT Airport // 5 min to Alamodome // 7 min to AT&T Center // 6 min to Alamo Heights
