A historic home east of San Antonio built for a U.S. Congressman is for sale

Gonzales' historic Bell House, commissioned in 1897 by U.S. Congressman G.F. Burgess, has hit the market for $475,000, according to a real estate listing.

Upping the historical significance of the four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath property, the land upon which it stands was given to the town of Gonzales — a little under two hours east of San Antonio — as part of an 1832 Spanish land grant.

Beyond the Victorian residence's historical significance, it's revered by the area's residents — who often refer to it as the Key Hole House — for its "charming gingerbread house" features, according to its sales listing. The exterior shows off seven roof gables, while the interior boasts four fireplaces.

Intricate woodwork, including beautifully milled bannisters and transoms above the doors, embellish the interior, which also features multiple pieces of stained glass and restored kitchen "reflecting period correct appliances," its listing notes.

This home is listed by Delanna Allen with Re/Max First Shot.
