A beautifully restored Victorian Queen Anne featured on the 1995 Monte Vista Home Tour has hit the market for $975,000.
From the sales listing, it’s easy to see why the four-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath house was added to that annual showcase of historical homes. Built in 1910, the two-story property includes a wraparound porch, multiple stained glass windows and its original wood floors.
Adding to the 4,000-square-foot home’s elegance are period wallpaper, intricate wooden moldings and an entrance hall with a breathtaking stairway. The crimson ballroom — yes, a ballroom — features a fireplace, wainscoting and a dramatic coffered ceiling. The spacious dining room is spanned by an orate ceiling of pressed tin.
If that isn’t enough intrigue, the home has a rare-for-San Antonio basement, rumored to have been a speakeasy during the 1920s — or so the owners told the Express-News in a 2015 feature story on their property.
This home is listed by Ann L. Van Pelt with Phyllis Browning Co.
