A Storybook Revival in the Heart of Olmos Park

402 Thelma Drive | San Antonio, Texas
4 Beds | 3.5 Baths | Office | Circa 1931 Thorman Home | Gated Circular Drive | Corner Lot

Step into a chapter of San Antonio’s architectural legacy with this exquisitely restored circa 1931 Thorman home, nestled on a picturesque corner lot in the prestigious enclave of Olmos Park. Built by H.C. Thorman—one of the city’s most influential early developers—this home is a remarkable blend of period charm and contemporary sophistication, lovingly brought back to life with timeless finishes and thoughtful enhancements.

From the limestone exterior and original woodwork to the vibrant Talavera tile accents and polished chevron travertine floors, every detail whispers of history while welcoming modern living. Inside, the sun-drenched living areas flow effortlessly into a chef’s kitchen with granite countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a gas cooktop island. The main-level primary suite is a peaceful sanctuary, complete with a sitting area and a spa-inspired bath. Upstairs, you’ll find three additional bedrooms, two full baths, a flexible game room, and a private office with French doors—ideal for work or creative pursuits.

Outside, the magic continues with a gated circular driveway, flagstone patio with pergola, and a professionally landscaped yard with room for a pool. A detached storage shed adds utility without compromising charm, and the oversized corner lot offers privacy and presence.

 A Legacy Worth Preserving

This home was originally constructed by H.C. Thorman, a visionary developer whose influence shaped the very fabric of Olmos Park. In the 1920s and '30s, Thorman transformed what was once farmland into a premier residential neighborhood designed to rival the elegance of Beverly Hills. His homes were known for their craftsmanship, character, and luxurious details—many featuring Mediterranean, Colonial Revival, or Tudor architectural styles that still define the area today.

Thorman’s developments weren’t just homes—they were aspirational works of art, tailored for San Antonio’s most distinguished residents. Owning a Thorman home isn’t just about style—it’s about belonging to a legacy.
