If these walls could talk! On December 18, 1956, a young coach took over a struggling University of Texas football team. In May of 1957, he would buy 1200 Belmont Parkway where he, his wife and family would live the next 22 years. 3 National Championships, 11 conference championships, and a Hall of Fame career all occurred while Darrell and Edith Royal called this their home.
Just imagine all of those folks who may have visited over the years as you walk through the front foyer into its gracious, light-filled great room with vaulted ceilings and floor to ceiling book cases. Continue through the conservatory and step into the quiet, tree shaded back yard that slopes through woods to Shoal Creek below. Both formal and informal dining rooms flank a kitchen awaiting your imagination. Halls on either side of the house lead to bedrooms with endless possibilities. From atop the landing, a wetbar or kitchenette greets you. In addition to a large bedroom is a spacious room the prior owner used as a studio, given all its windows and dappled morning sun, ideal as a children’s playroom or as an additional bedroom or living area. What opportunities await.
1200 Belmont is ideally located in the peaceful, highly coveted Belmont subdivision of Bryker Woods, minutes to everything quintessentially Austin. As Coach was known for saying, “three things can happen when you pass and two of 'em are bad.” Don’t pass this unique opportunity to step into the footsteps of a legend and create an amazing new legacy.
