Property Description

Timeless Elegance Meets Modern Peace of Mind
Step back in time without sacrificing comfort in this enchanting circa 1900 estate. Nestled on a sprawling 1.3-acre lot, this property offers the rare combination of storied ”Old Florida” charm and the reliability of a modern home. Over the past 11 years, the residence has undergone a comprehensive mechanical evolution, including complete replumbing, rewiring, new HVAC, and updated insulation, ensuring efficiency and longevity.

The Main Residence

The heart of the home is a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom sanctuary defined by unmatched character and artisan details.

The Gourmet Kitchen: A true conversation starter featuring a rare 1920s gas stove and an authentic French kitchen sink dating back to the late 1800s. A central island provides the perfect prep space for morning coffee or evening gatherings. Living Spaces: Multiple fireplaces anchored throughout the home provide warmth and architectural interest, leading you into the sun-drenched Florida room.

Dining & Views: Enjoy the golden hour from the built-in dining bench, where massive windows invite an abundance of natural light and views of the lush acreage.

The Carriage House & Outdoor Oasis

Just a short stroll away–connected by a convenient carport–sits the stunning carriage house. This guest retreat features gorgeous finishes and a cozy, built-in nook designed specifically for quiet reading sessions or afternoon naps.

The transition between the structures serves as an entertainer’s dream, offering a covered area for alfresco dining or sheltered gatherings. The outdoor experience is completed by a private outdoor shower–perfect for rinsing off after a day in the sun–and a heated pool (installed within the last 8 years) that allows for year-round swimming.

Property Highlights:

Turn-Key Historic Living: Original architectural soul with a fully updated infrastructure (Plumbing, Electrical, AC).

Expansive Acreage: 1.3 acres of privacy and mature landscaping.

Versatility: A main home full of history paired with a contemporary, stylish carriage house for guests or a home office.

Building is 3164 sq. ft., total heated and cooled sq ft of main house and carriage house is 2266.

Experience the perfect marriage of turn-of-the-century craftsmanship and modern luxury.
