For Alicia Ramirez, preserving the character of her mid-century home in Sunshine Estates helps her connect with its history.
Bria Woods / San Antonio Report
The house was a three-minute drive from our parents’ homes, non-renovated, with a large backyard and had so much character. We quickly put in an offer and days passed before I got a crushing text from our real estate agent: the seller had gone with another offer.

Many projects that we’ve taken on in the house have been to enhance the original style, rather than turning it into a builder-grade renovation.
