It's easy to imagine someone doing a double take as they drive by this 1990 home that recently went up for sale near San Antonio's Shavano Park suburb.
While nestled in a modern subdivision, its wraparound porches, three-story tower and elaborate architectural details all look like they date from the late 1800s. There's a reason for that, according to its sales listing: a custom homebuilder modeled the five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath property after a stately Victorian mansion in Austin.
Listed for $736,969, the residence's tower includes a circular spire roof, and twin wraparound porches grace its lower and upper levels. Adding to the intrigue, the entrance to the turret's third floor is hidden behind a bookcase, according to the listing.
This home is listed by John Notzon with Keller Williams City View.
