A grand King William home built in 1895 has hit the market for $3.2 million, offering a regal setting in a regal neighborhood — and just steps from the River Walk.
The five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath residence exudes instant Old World curb appeal thanks to intricate millwork that adorns the front porch like delicate lace. The facade is also framed by palm trees.
Further adding to the rarified air, the house is secure behind a wrought-iron gate to keep Fiesta revelers from stumbling onto the lawn.
Inside, the palatial 5,132-square-foot estate boasts cavernous rooms, soaring ceilings and “exquisite original details that reflect its timeless character,” according to its listing.
Interior rooms are massive and stately, traversed through large wooden doors with transoms — once a crucial temperature-regulating feature. A stately study further distinguishes its owner with a chandelier, fireplace and a wall of bookshelves. Indeed, this is just one of several rooms in the home with custom built-in shelves, perfect for the well-heeled bibliophile.
For those who would rather entertain than bury their head in a tome, the sizable kitchen has its own wet bar, where guests can fix themselves a drink before heading out to the entertainer’s backyard.
Once out back, guests can swim in a resort-style pool while enjoying live music on the bandshell’s small stage — all overlooking one of the most scenic segments of the River Walk. As a rarely seen feature, one of the interior bathrooms opens directly onto the backyard, offering easy access for partygoers.
The property also offers a massive three-car garage, complete with a warehouse-like apartment or office space upstairs.
