About This Home
HISTORIC RENTAL GEM!! The distinguished Taranto House is named for the Taranto family & dates back to circa 1880. A beautifully restored historic treasure in the heart of enchanting Apalachicola, this 5-bedroom/5-bath residence seamlessly blends turn-of-the-century character with modern comfort, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history. Perfectly positioned in the walkable downtown district, the home features five individually designed rooms, each with its own charm & each rented individually for maximum rental potential. Thoughtfully preserved to honor its historic integrity, the home has been updated with contemporary conveniences that enhance its appeal. Inviting shared spaces—including a comfortable common area & kitchen—reflect its hospitality roots while providing residential ease. From the lofty porches, enjoy glimpses of Apalachicola Bay & immediate access to the Big Bend Scenic Byway Coastal Trail. Just steps from galleries, cafes, boutiques & the waterfront, the location could not be more ideal. Shaded porches & quiet garden corners invite you to linger beneath moss-draped oaks, savoring coastal breezes & southern charm. For locals, the preferred method of travel is, bar none, by golf cart. Easy to drive, easy to park & the perfect way to let your hair down. Golf carts are a celebrated part of daily life here—often with a dog or two happily riding along offering the chance to explore more of Apalachicola's hidden nooks & crannies. Whether enjoyed as a private residence or continued as a sought-after rental, this home offers both charm & versatility. Embrace the Apalachicola lifestyle—stroll to seafood markets, sip your morning coffee on the porch, explore local art studios & watch golden sunsets melt into the bay. This is more than a home—it's a living legacy. Don't miss your chance to own this one-of-a-kind treasure in a town defined by timeless beauty. Call for your private tour & LIVE THE BEACH LIFE!!
