24 Lakeside Dr Pensacola, FL 32507

An exterior that captures the style of New England’s waterside cottages and an interior celebrating natural light and airy living space come together for an elegant and graceful waterfront abode. Featured in Pensacola Magazine’s March/April 2013 Home and Garden issue, its rooms are locally famous. Chicago brick floors and light color tones instantly envelope visitors with an atmosphere of relaxed home comfort. Turning right takes you first to the dining room, large enough for formal entertaining and with its own window toward the water. Past the dining room, the “Point Room” beckons. This picture-perfect sunroom invites you to sit, read or converse with friends in streaming natural light. A wet bar is ready to pour libations for friends and guests. Returning to the center of the home, find an elegant sitting room before reaching the living room and kitchen, both with views toward Star Lake. The kitchen is the heart of the home, with an arched brick wall for the Decor gas stove and double ovens. A center island provides workspace for chefs. A butler’s pantry with wine cooler bridges the kitchen and dining rooms. Off the living room, the “Ready Room” represents the ideal for a home library or classic man cave. Built-in bookshelves, a massive gas fireplace and a bar--all built with beautiful hardwood--are ready for firelit evenings of reading and conversation. In addition to its stunning common areas, this home boasts four bedrooms and three full bathrooms. A bedroom and full bath off the living room make an excellent guest room, easily re-appropriated as a game room. A long Laundry room connects the home to the 2-car garage. Upstairs, find the rambling Master Suite, with large bedroom and immense bath. The master bath features marble tile, tub, 2 separate vanities, a walk-in closet, shower and separate water closet. Outside, 3⁄4 acre of protected waterfront peninsula await with boat dock and landscaping. This is a one-time chance to own this premier Pensacola home!
