A rare piece of San Antonio history, 777 Terrell is a remarkable 1929 Spanish Revival estate set on approximately 1.23 acres in the coveted enclave of Terrell Hills. Built during the formative years of the community and associated with renowned San Antonio architect and builder Carleton W. Adams, this distinguished residence embodies the craftsmanship, scale and architectural character of another era. Positioned on one of Terrell Hills' most elevated sites, the estate offers an extraordinary sense of privacy, presence and possibility. Original architectural details, including rich hardwood floors, handcrafted millwork, stone fireplace, glass doorknobs, and graceful barrel-vaulted ceilings, reflect the artistry of the home's nearly century-old design. The gracious floor plan was created for both intimate living and grand entertaining, with formal living and dining spaces, a library, generous bedroom suites and inviting gathering areas. A detached casita/quarters, separate garage and expansive grounds further distinguish the property. Beyond its architectural beauty, 777 Terrell carries a fascinating San Antonio legacy. Historical accounts associate the estate with General John L. Hines, a senior U.S. Army commander in San Antonio during the era, while its architect, Carleton W. Adams, would go on to leave an enduring mark on the city's architectural landscape. Nearly a century after its construction, 777 Terrell remains an exceptional opportunity to become the steward of an important piece of San Antonio's architectural heritage-an estate with the scale, character and history that simply cannot be recreated today.

Uptown Broadway, located between Downtown San Antonio and Alamo Heights, is a historic and arts-forward San Antonio neighborhood with early-20th-century bungalows and a museum-lined boulevard. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Broadway at Hildebrand Avenue, where patios, coffee counters, and design-minded storefronts keep the sidewalks active. The Witte Museum and the San Antonio Museum of Art anchor the cultural calendar, while Brackenridge Park adds shaded trails and river bends. Architecture shifts from cottage streets to mid-century apartments near the corridor. Bike lanes and bus stops thread the main spine, linking galleries, cafés, and campus edges. Evenings read as low-key, with dining rooms and courtyards set back from the street.
