Our home is located in the King William Historic District, the oldest residential neighborhood in San Antonio and one of the cityâs most treasured areas. In the mid-1800s, German immigrants settled here and built an extraordinary collection of Victorian, Italianate, and Greek Revival mansions, many of which have been lovingly preserved. Strolling through the neighborhood feels like walking through an open-air museum of architecture and culture. The main avenue, King William Street, was named in honor of King William I of Prussia, reflecting the communityâs heritage and pride.
The streets are canopied by mature trees, offering shade and a gentle, quiet atmosphere. Youâll hear birds in the mornings, see people walking dogs, jogging, and enjoying the neighborhood at an unhurried pace. Despite the peaceful setting, youâre just one block from vibrant South Alamo Street, where youâll find restaurants, boutiques, cafes, galleries, and music â the perfect contrast of calm and energy.
Our home has been carefully restored to honor its historic roots, preserving period details while adding thoughtful updates. From architectural touches to the feeling of the rooms themselves, it truly feels as though youâve stepped back in time â yet with modern comforts like reliable Wi-Fi, updated baths, and a well-equipped kitchen. Itâs this blend of living history and everyday convenience that makes the property truly unique.
