Description
Established as the 1909 residence of civic leader Richard Friedrich, this storied estate in the heart of the Dignowity Hill Historic District offers a rare opportunity to steward a significant piece of San Antonio’s industrial and cultural legacy. The property is offered strictly as-is, presenting a dedicated restoration enthusiast with a blank canvas to revitalize a one-of-a-kind historic landmark. The estate is composed of three distinct structures situated on an oversized lot. The stately two-story main residence retains its original architectural character, including period-specific wood flooring and a rare, early 1900s-era built-in "cold closet", a nod to the family’s refrigeration heritage. Behind the main home, the grounds feature a two-story carriage house and an additional detached stone-facade structure currently utilized for storage. The backyard is further distinguished by a large in-ground concrete pool structure, offering an expansive footprint for outdoor recreation. From the rear of the property, one can catch a glimpse of the downtown San Antonio skyline through the mature tree canopy. Positioned near the Pearl District and major downtown corridors, this property represents a rare combination of historic provenance and untapped potential in San Antonio’s first exclusive residential neighborhood.
