Spend countless hours reading, painting and entertaining guests in the ultimate outdoor living space overlooking the gardens and neighborhood.

Warmth fills this grand and inviting living room as it displays its opulent features, from the oversized beveled glass windows to the wooden beamed ceilings and even down to the original narrow-plank Oak flooring.

An inviting fireplace sits within this cozy Family Room with coved ceiling, original leaded glass windows and access to the wraparound screened porch. This sitting space is offered in addition to the grand living room and separate dining room.

Fully remodeled kitchen offers natural gas for cooking, stainless steel counter for prep space and ample pantry space. Tastefully upgraded for today's living while being appreciative of its history.

Luxurious and roomy owner's retreat is located on the second floor overlooking the front and side gardens and with access to the screened sleeper-porch. Oversized private bath exudes character and the added walk-in custom closet is a true bonus for a home this age.

Guests will hesitate to leave once given the opportunity to visit and sleep in one of five inviting bedrooms.

Enjoy warm Florida breezes from within the privacy of your own tropical oasis. Back yard is complete with artist's studio or perfect mother-in-law suite and garage/workshop access.

Calm and serene flowing water soothes the soul after a long day as you toss tasty morsels of food to your goldfish. Lush, mostly native foliage envelopes your front yard and evokes a sense of belonging.

Privacy fenced rear yard is flanked by a full-sized one-car garage and studio/mother-in-law above, as well as room for three additional cars.
