King William Manor

Top choice in San Antonio


In a neighborhood known for beautiful old houses and B&Bs, this grand, Greek Revival mansion occupying a large corner lot still manages to stand out. Maybe it's the columns, the sprawling lawn or perhaps the wraparound porches. The inside lives up to the exterior, with understatedly elegant rooms, some of which are enormous.
