About This Home

Nestled in the heart of Mahncke Park, this beautifully updated bungalow blends timeless character, modern updates, and an unbeatable central location just minutes from Broadway, Brackenridge Park, The Pearl, downtown San Antonio, Fort Sam Houston, and BAMC, with easy access to some of the city's most beloved cultural destinations, restaurants, coffee shops, and entertainment. Inside, warm original hardwood floors, natural light, and an inviting open layout create a space that feels both comfortable and full of character. The thoughtfully designed floorplan features 3 bedrooms with a split-layout configuration, offering additional privacy for the primary suite. The updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, and a large island that opens naturally into the living and dining areas, making the home ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The spacious primary suite includes an en suite bathroom and walk-in closet - a rare feature for homes of this era and location. Set on an oversized quarter-acre lot shaded by mature pecan and mesquite trees, the backyard offers a rare sense of privacy and space in the middle of the city. Seasonal Texas wildflowers and natural landscaping create a peaceful setting that feels both inviting and distinctly San Antonio. Whether enjoying quiet evenings outdoors, gardening, entertaining friends, or simply appreciating the flexibility of such a large lot, this property offers possibilities that are increasingly hard to find in this area. Recent improvements include foundation repairs completed in February 2025 utilizing concrete piers with metal and concrete shims, updated plumbing and electrical components, Low-E windows, gas line updates, refinished hardwood floors, updated fixtures, and a newer roof. Zoned MF-33, the property also offers long-term flexibility for those considering future expansion or investment potential. Located within walking distance to the Botanical Garden, museums, coffee shops, restaurants, and the growing Broadway corridor, 527 Eleanor captures the charm, walkability, and lifestyle that continue to make Mahncke Park one of San Antonio's most desirable neighborhoods.
