Historic Charm Meets Modern Functionality in the Eau Gallie Arts District.
Step back in time without sacrificing comfort in this beautifully restored 1928 historic gem, nestled in the heart of the vibrant Eau Gallie Arts District. Fully remodeled in 2007 to reflect its original period style, this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home blends timeless elegance with modern convenience—and offers a versatile flex room for your evolving needs.
From the moment you arrive, the charm is undeniable. A classic white picket fence wraps around the spacious 1/3-acre corner lot, which features two entrances, a paved driveway, and ample parking for residents and guests alike. Whether you're hosting art walk gatherings or family barbecues, there's room for it all—including up to two RVs, with existing electrical and sewer hookups ready to go.
At the rear of the property, a detached 2-car workshop presents exciting possibilities—convert it into a spacious in-law suite, guest a spacious in-law suite, guest house, or a private studio. There's also a detached shed that's just begging to be transformed into the ultimate she-shed or creative retreat.
Make your way up the welcoming front steps and onto the expansive front porch an ideal spot for sipping coffee or wine in a rocking chair while watching the world go by under a canopy of mature trees.
Inside, the home features beautifully restored hardwood flooring throughout, a formal living room and a cozy family area, a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and a charming butler's pantry for added storage and entertaining ease. The flex room offers great potential as a home office, den, or playroom.
Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms. A third, smaller room is perfect for a nursery, private dressing room, or ensuite extension to the adjacent bedroom. Step outside onto the upstairs balcony to enjoy views of the neighborhood's historic streets and lush greenery.
You'll be living just a five-minute stroll from some of Brevard County's trendiest bars, restaurants, galleries, and boutiques. Outdoor lovers will appreciate being less than ten minutes from the beach, as well as nearby boat docks, the marina, and peaceful spots for kayaking.
