A very sweet gingerbread house in Texas is on sale for close to a staggering $2million - but it's not the edible type. 

The Austin property looks like it came straight out of a fairytale book from the outside, but inside it is beautifully modern with hints of quaintness throughout. 

While the cottage itself is cozy and small, it is being sold alongside a modern two-story home on the same lot - which stretches over 7,971 square feet. 

Together, the properties boast a total of five bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms and share a lovely backyard - perfect for hosting friends and family.

Douglas Elliman has listed the unique property for $1.75million - and the lucky owner also has the opportunity to keep the perfectly curated furniture and décor.

The cottage, known as the Bouldin Gingerbread house, is described listing agents Emily Waldmann and Megan Gallagher as 'a piece of Austin history.'
