From the Agent: "Welcome to the Alamo, a cherished, historic home with a rich story to tell. Originally built in 1928 by A.B. Walton and later reimagined in the 1950s by the esteemed architect Phil Lloyd Shoop, this residence holds a special place in the heart of the charming neighborhood of Monticello Park. Step inside, and you’ll be greeted by a harmonious blend of timeless charm from the 1920s and the distinctive flair of the 1950s with a touch of Japanese influence. Sunlight streams in through clerestory windows, casting a warm glow on the maple paneling, terrazzo flooring, and pecky wood accents that adorn the interior. The oak flooring and 10-foot ceilings from the 1920s add to the home’s character and allure. This home also has a two-car detached garage with a charming frosted-panel garage door, providing secure parking and additional storage space. Attached to the garage is a workshop, perfect for DIY projects and hobbies. Additionally you’ll find a cute children’s play shed nestled in the backyard that offers a whimsical retreat for young imaginations to thrive."
