Clemens House, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

I seem to be on a brick Georgian style house quick lately. Today's home in San Antonio, Texas was originally built for the Clemens family in 1947 and designed by architect, Birdsall P. Briscoe. Briscoe primarily designed in Houston in pricey neighborhoods like River Oaks and was also the author of a couple of western adventure novels. The home is located in the prestigious Olmos Park area (a separate town within San Antionio) and is a local landmark. The manor house has four bedrooms. The overall style is a bit fussy and the bathrooms could use an update but the large columned porch, graceful curving staircase and wood paneling in the library and the dining room make this one worth a second look. There is a three-car garage and a two-bedroom garage apartment on the 1.3 acre property. It is listed at $4.25 million.
