After 43 years of being lovingly designed and cared for by one family, this quintessential 1937 historic cottage is available to one lucky recipient! Set on a shady, lush tree-lined street in sought-after "Washington Square" neighborhood known for its Spring Wine Garden, Fourth of July bike parades and movie nights, love at first sight begins with blooming roses, a picket fence, winding brick paths and a covered front porch which immediately take you back to a bygone era. Quality construction materials such as redwood siding, arched thick plaster walls, bow windows & solid oak floors are only some of the reasons historical homes are at a premium. 1641 square feet on one level begins just off the front porch...Upon entering the foyer, a spacious formal dining room & expansive living room are open & airy with loads of natural light via picture windows. The living room with arched entry is warmed by a fireplace and bookcases. A built-in china cabinet with glass door in the sunny breakfast nook sets the tone for the delightful kitchen which includes a gas range, new hood, crisp white cabinets with white tiled counters, dishwasher, fridge and a mud room with large pantry. Three spacious bedrooms include a primary suite with a graceful bow window & two walk-in closets (one cedar lined!) The two secondary bedrooms offer large windows and loads of closet space. A super spacious main bath is compete with both a cast iron tub and walk-in shower along with two vanities with drawers. The second half-bath can be expanded (under roof) to include a tub and/or shower. AND a 15' X 25' (375 SF) basement is not included in the square footage & would make a great workshop or game room. However, the pie'ce-de-re'sistance are the enchanting gardens designed by the former owner, a landscape architect as his passion project. Winding paths surround a lush green lawn and lead to discoveries along the way - from a magical playhouse (or she-shed) to stone barbecue and on to a beautiful stream and gorgeous waterfall (just waiting to be brought back to life!) Patio spaces for entertaining are enhanced with brick accents and stone walls. Fruit trees, raised garden beds and rambling roses complete the vision. Additional features include a two car garage with laundry niche, newer roof, water heater & AC. Don't miss this one-time opportunity to own a beautiful cottage-style home on a gorgeous street in the vibrant, historic Washington Square only steps to the food, art & culture of DTSA.
