About this home
Back on Market with Price Reduction! Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly rare. Set on nearly 3.5 park-like acres beneath majestic oak, pine, and palm trees, this exceptional property offers endless possibilities—from a private family compound to a luxury estate renovation or future development opportunity. Bring your imagination and create something truly special.
At the heart of the property sits a stately Colonial Revival/Southern Brick Estate offering 5,745 square feet under roof, thoughtfully built in the 1970s with remarkable craftsmanship and timeless architectural details. Two welcoming front porches with custom wrought iron accents set the tone for this distinctive home.
Inside, you’ll find grand entertaining spaces with oversized rooms throughout, including a formal living room, a formal dining room that comfortably seats 12 or more guests, and an expansive family room with a wood-burning fireplace and ample space for a pool table. Rich details such as crown molding, wainscoting, tray ceilings, imported English brass hardware, imported brass lighting fixtures, decorative niches, and imported marble flooring in the foyer showcase the home’s quality construction.
The first floor also features a private office that could easily serve as a sixth bedroom, a spacious owner’s suite with walk-in closets and a marble-appointed ensuite bath, a generous laundry/craft room, and a kitchen overlooking the pool and patio, complete with a walk-in pantry and butler’s pantry designed for effortless entertaining.
Upstairs are four additional bedrooms, two full baths, abundant walk-in storage, and multiple balconies overlooking the magnificent grounds and pool. A dramatic wrought-iron spiral staircase connects the upper balcony to the pool area below.
Outdoor living is equally impressive with a 40’ x 20’ swimming pool, a recently replaced two-story screened pool enclosure, expansive patios, and endless green space rarely found this close to the Gulf beaches.
