1620 N Olive St

Description

A 1930 bungalow on an unusually generous corner lot places 1620 N Olive within minutes of Pearl and downtown San Antonio. Just outside the Government Hill Historic District, the property pairs the character of an established neighborhood with considerable room to renovate, expand or reimagine. The existing home retains much of its original character, including a covered front porch, brick fireplace with built-in cabinetry and a straightforward floor plan ready for renovation. A detached approximately 700-square-foot garage provides substantial additional space and further flexibility. Nearly 9,500 square feet of land gives the property a scale that is increasingly difficult to find this close to the urban core. Its elevated position and corner setting create possibilities for future construction designed to capture views toward the downtown skyline. Two blocks from the forthcoming BESA development and less than a mile from Pearl, the property sits within a rapidly evolving stretch of Government Hill while remaining immediately connected to downtown.
