826 Cambridge Oval, San Antonio, TX

The Porch

Most people hang out and entertain in the back yard.  Yes, 826 Cambridge Oval has a nice yard and 2 great decks.  But in the course of living at the house, I found that I spent most of my time hanging out and being with friends on the porch. 

The porch became an extension of the living room for a great New Year's Eve party.
The porch became my outside office when I would work at home. 
The porch became a non-threatening locale where I could sit down with my kids to address and deal with kids stuff, life and their learning the word "no."
The porch became a great view to see what the neighbors where up to
The porch was a great place to try new wines.

And best of all, the porch was a great place to smoke Cuban cigars that I would bring home from my trips to Israel so I did not stink up the house.

Great Driveway!

Having a party?  Dinner guest over?  Need to park 6 SUVs or several boats?  No problem.

The driveway at 826 Cambridge Oval is long enought to cover all your parking and entertaining needs.

Monster Garage

One of the best things about 826 Cambridge Oval is not the house.  It's the garage. It is rare to find a cottage home, built in the early 1900's (as in 1907 to be exact) that has an oversized, modern garage. 

You can easily park two huge SUV's, and have plenty of room for a fishing boat, and tons of storage.  As you can see the garage was built in the same style as the house and the view from the yard works well as it incorporates updated landscaping and a wonderful tree that was preserved during construction.

Cambridge Oval - Home to Other Great Homes

One thing that is unique about living on Cambridge Oval is that by it's name, it is really a giant oval.  This is the only street in San Antonio, or for that matter, any other major U.S. city  with an oval like street.  Cambridge Oval is more like a giant oval-like boulevard.   And with it's boulevard like street, comes some amazing homes that have been updated and restored.
