27 N Halifax Ave Daytona Beach, FL 32118

Moore acres was constructed of stone and brick in 1913 high above the banks of the Halifax River and is adorned with rich hardwood interior appointments throughout the gracious living spaces. Very little has changed over the last 112 years and the home is being offered for the first time by descendants of the original owner after being cared for by the same family for 4 generations. The lovely home has been a landmark here on the riverfront row of historic mansions that make up this picturesque community. Truly a remarkable example of period architecture, its long verandah is shaded by a tile roof with wide eaves that stretch out over the traditional entryway centered perfectly adjacent to a curved exterior wall. Enter the grand foyer and within a few steps the integrity of the solid structure is apparent. With a few more steps, you have entered the spectacular riverfront parlor where oak floors stretch across the massive room beneath a coquina fireplace and volume ceilings. Just beyond through a set of beautiful mahogany doors, a waterfront den is the ideal place to relax and take in the views or step out to the sprawling terrazzo patio with teak handrails that is perched high above the rolling, oak covered lawn below. Back inside, the formal dining room is a spectacle with handsome walls handcrafted of ancient hardwood and a wall of windows that overlook the Halifax River. Just adjacent to the dining room, the kitchen appears to have been expanded at some point years ago and now the ample space is ready for a new owner's vision. Upstairs, 3 large bedrooms with high ceilings center around a large common bath and another bonus room might be the ideal spot to add another bath. A staircase leads to a cavernous fourth story attic. The ground floor features a small sleeping quarters, large laundry area and a simple bathroom.The tandem garage fits two cars bumper to bumper and an adjacent large storage area could serve as a workshop. The swimming pool is believed to be the first residential swimming pool in Daytona Beach and is shared with the neighbor as it's unique placement is directly on the property line. There is no longer a boat dock in place, however fairly deep water is just off the shoreline. A rare piece of local history being offered and priced to sell.
