The Queen Mother herself cannot have wished for more opulence or sheer magnificence than what graces this Queen Ann Victorian classic at 7400 Wood Cliff Drive in Austin, Texas. She's a jaw-dropper from the moment you first set eyes upon her happy yellow facade with white-trimmed wrap-around porch exterior. This 1902 Victorian beauty was moved in 4 pieces from Brady, Texas in 2002. But the real coup is how tastefully it has been restored, marrying it's quality craftsman roots with energy efficiency. This home has 5(possibly 6) bedrooms, huge billiards room(currently used as a bedroom), formal dining, 2 additional living areas and more! The woodwork is original and perfectly preserved. Stained glass adds an understated elegance. Long leaf red heart pine flooring, squeak-free thanks to the amazing 50 concrete pillars upon which it was anchored. Twelve-foot ceilings, enormous windows that pour in light, all-original and tiled fireplaces (three of them, each uniquely different and beautiful) and a renovated kitchen(2011) eventually take you out a back door that opens into a breathtaking cottage garden, set on over a half acre with brick paths meandering through enormous ivy-covered oaks and humming birds. Add a quaint potting shed and outdoor shower almost hidden in a far, quiet corner and you have paradise in the city of Austin, only 10 minutes from Downtown. While this home has been lovingly maintained by an owner occupant, it would make a great bed and breakfast or short term rental for immediate return on investment. RUN. Only one of these happens in a lifetime.
