247 Montclair St, Alamo Heights, TX 78209

Nestled in the heart of Alamo Heights, this exceptional 1932 cottage seamlessly blends timeless character with sophisticated modern design. Reimagined with a stunning 2022 addition by acclaimed local architect Danny Long, partner at Chesney Morales Architects, the home preserves its original charm while offering every luxury expected for today's lifestyle. The main house features 4 bedrooms and 3 beautifully appointed bathrooms across 2,416 square feet, complemented by a thoughtfully designed 506-square-foot casita complete with a full bath, kitchenette, bunk room, and home gym, perfect for guests, multigenerational living, or a private retreat. Every detail has been carefully curated. Rich hardwood floors flow throughout the home, accented by original millwork, restored glass door hardware, and custom millwork that seamlessly connects the historic cottage with its contemporary addition. Designer lighting, striking custom steel stair railings, custom steel front entry doors, tongue-and-groove ceilings in the kitchen and dining area, and elegant marble bathrooms showcase the exceptional craftsmanship found throughout. The private primary suite features custom wall paneling, creating a warm and refined retreat. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the kitchen is equipped with premium BlueStar appliances, including a professional-grade range and refrigerator. A standing seam metal roof installed in 2022, a concrete pier foundation leveled in 2024, and modern board-formed concrete detailing at the front porch reflect the home's quality construction and enduring design. One of the home's most charming surprises is a hidden "secret" kids' room tucked behind the laundry room, complete with whimsical wallpaper. A magical space that adds personality and imagination. Step outside to your own private outdoor retreat. Completed in 2023, the sparkling pool features a Baja shelf, spa, water features, and app-controlled automation for lighting, temperature, and operation. A covered outdoor living area with a fireplace overlooks the beautifully landscaped backyard, where Trex composite decking, low-maintenance turf, custom steel planters, and a six-foot privacy fence create an inviting space for year-round enjoyment. The casita's custom bar window opens directly to the pool, making entertaining effortless. A rare opportunity to own an architect-designed home where historic charm, modern luxury, and exceptional craftsmanship come together in one beautiful property.
