253 John Anderson Dr Ormond Beach, FL 32176

An Ormond Beach Icon: Rowallan, the 1913-built beloved and beautifully preserved estate is being offered in immaculate condition. While the exterior architecture of the main home remains exactly as it was 100+ years ago, subsequent owners have updated and reconfigured portions of the living spaces to allow for modern conveniences and function of today's luxury standards. As you enter the grand foyer, you will find the stunning first floor spaces perfectly restored with preserved wall murals by the famed artist Joy Postle and 5 of the 7 original fireplaces. CONTINUED... Gleaming heart pine flooring leads through the lovely parlor, sprawling living room, library, formal dining room, and downstairs guest suite. The original kitchen was carefully removed and replaced with a state-of-the-art cooking space designed for function and beauty without disrupting the nostalgia of the era. This new island kitchen opens into a gracious casual dining space bathed in morning sun through a tremendous window space that allows spectacular views of the rambling rear lawn, gardens, patios, and pool. 5 of the 6 bedrooms are true suites, including an impressive guest suite within the main living quarters, a detached poolside cabana with kitchenette, and the spectacular master occupying the space of 4 of the original bedrooms. While the master retreat is a very generous space it remains comfortable and user-friendly with 2 sitting areas, 2 fireplaces, a complete dressing room/cavernous closet, and the marble bath that was designed and executed to exacting standards incorporating historical elements coupled with today's luxury amenities. A 3rd floor 2000+ sq ft finished and air-conditioned attic with 1/2-bath is the ultimate flex space for home gym, game room, or storage. The outdoor living room was a more recent addition with an inviting wet bar, fireside sitting area, and tremendous covered lanai. This ideal entertainment area adjacent to the resort-style pool features a 1/2-bath and everything needed to entertain a crowd without stepping foot inside the main home. The estate features double gated entry ways on John Anderson Drive as well as a private rear gated entrance on peaceful Landmark Circle, quietly connecting the owners to one of the area's most sought-after neighborhoods. Location here is second-to-none within a short stroll to trendy Granada Blvd., Oceanside Country Club, and the Atlantic Ocean.
