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. $2,950,000 New

01

The homes

Terrell Hills is known for established houses on generous lots: traditional two-story homes, mid-century ranch houses and newer custom builds where an older house came down.

What Robert would check

  • Foundation and drainage. San Antonio’s clay soils move, so foundation repairs and drainage are part of every older-home inspection.
  • Pools and outbuildings. Older pools, guest houses and garages get their own inspection.
  • Trees and drainage. Mature trees are part of the appeal; check their roots against the foundation and the yard’s drainage.
  • Remodeling rules. Terrell Hills handles its own permits; plans for an addition start with the city.
