About this home

Historic Lakefront Estate - The Williams Home / Mary-Edward Inn on the shores of Crescent Lake stands as one of Crescent City's most treasured landmarks. Built over 150 years ago, this estate began as The Williams Home and, after its 1945 renovation, became known as The Mary-Edward Inn. Crafted in enduring Frame Vernacular style, its structure features hand-hewn sills and massive timbers. The framework, held together by wooden pegs instead of nails, speaks to a level of craftsmanship and durability rarely seen today. Beyond its architecture, this property has long been a gathering place woven into the town's history. Easter Sunrise Services have been held for generations along the waterfront lawn, while the large central hall hosted lively Fourth of July dances that brought the community together in celebration. These traditions add to the home's legacy as both a residence and a cultural landmark. The 5-bedroom, 5.5-bath residence offers panoramic lakefront views, private water access, and outdoor living spaces shaded by majestic oaks. Expansive windows fill the interiors with morning light, while porches front and back invite relaxation. Inside, thoughtful recent updates balance historic character with modern comfort.
Whether envisioned as a private retreat, boutique inn, or luxury second home, the Williams Home/Mary-Edward Inn is more than a residence--it is a rare opportunity to own a living piece of Florida history, surrounded by the natural beauty and recreational lifestyle that make Crescent City so special. Now, the story continues--where the past meets the future, and your future becomes part of this remarkable legacy.
Boat House is 1600 sq feet with 2 lifts and aluminum decking.
