About This Home

As of July 2013

This quaint cottage nestled in the oak hammocks of North Beach offers the charm of a private retreat once occupied by Sinclair Lewis, the first American writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. The large Coquina fireplace is an instant conversation piece as you enter the Living Room and includes photos provided by Yale University of Sinclair Lewis standing next to this same fireplace. Relax on the Back Porch or the Hot Tub and enjoy views of the ICW & Vilano Bridge. This serene estate includes 5 lots on a tidal creek which offers boat navigation to the ICW. 2 of the lots covered by the creek offer the option of building a stilt home with some stipulations. Two additional detached buildings offer extra storage and can be used for an office or library. Metal sheds do not convey.
