A Legacy Reimagined in the Heart of Tobin Hill
Where History Holds the Keys to Modern Living
In the heart of Tobin Hill, where art and architecture meet under oak-lined streets, a historic estate quietly commands attention. Built in 1917, 248 Post Ave is more than a home ; it's a story retold with intention. With 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and nearly 4,725 square feet, this one-of-a-kind residence unfolds across two lots, seamlessly blending preserved heritage with modern-day luxury.
Step beyond the gate and you’ll find original hardwood floors, restored tile, soaring ceilings, and rooms that echo the craftsmanship of a century past. A wraparound front porch invites morning coffee and evening conversations, while a private rear porch offers a retreat all its own. It’s the kind of home that whispers instead of shouts—asking you to slow down, look closer, and stay awhile.
Designed to Live In, Built to Last
The interiors are both generous and grounded: a chef’s kitchen with central island, two distinct living areas, and a formal dining room designed to host with ease. Upstairs, the bedrooms are spacious yet warm, and a bonus attic space holds endless potential—be it a studio, playroom, or additional suite.
And then there’s the guest casita—a full secondary residence perfect for multigenerational living, work-from-home freedom, or future income opportunities. Rarely does a historic home offer this kind of adaptability.
Positioned for the Right Buyer
Homes like 248 Post Ave don’t come to market often—and when they do, it takes a discerning buyer to see the craftsmanship, history, and versatility woven into every square foot. With nearly 5,000 square feet of living space, a guest casita, and one of the most walkable addresses in Tobin Hill, this is more than a home. It’s a legacy property waiting for its next chapter.
Tobin Hill: San Antonio’s Cultural Canvas
Located less than a mile from The Pearl and San Antonio’s River Walk, 248 Post Ave offers a lifestyle as rich as its past. Walk to local favorites, catch live jazz, explore nearby galleries, or enjoy a Saturday at the farmers market. Tobin Hill is equal parts artful and accessible, where community and creativity meet. It’s no wonder this neighborhood continues to draw architects, artists, professionals, and families who want more than just a home—they want a sense of place.
