About This Home
An iconic Old Florida oceanfront landmark, this extraordinary Atlantic Beach estate offers a rare opportunity to own one of the area's most celebrated historic properties. Originally built in 1916, this multi-generational compound spans four distinct structures, including a three-story main residence encompassing 4,595 square feet, a charming guest cottage (245 square feet), a two-bedroom garage apartment (670 square feet) with an ocean-view deck, and a separate one-car garage.
Meticulously preserved and thoughtfully restored, the property seamlessly blends historic character with modern comfort. The main residence showcases remarkable architectural details, including a Florida citrus family mosaic, original stained-glass windows, French doors, historic hardware, the original staircase, and beautifully preserved heart pine floors. Every restoration has been completed with a commitment to maintaining the home's historical integrity while enhancing its livability for today's lifestyle. Recent improvements include a newly finished third-floor expansion, updated HVAC and electrical systems, new landscaping and irrigation, designer lighting, a custom front door, fresh interior and exterior paint, and numerous additional upgrades.
The second-floor primary suite captures breathtaking ocean views and features a charming widow's walk, creating the perfect setting to enjoy sunrise vistas over the Atlantic. The spa-inspired primary bath includes a stunning stained-glass window, clawfoot soaking tub, dual vanities, and two walk-in closets. Each guest bedroom in the main house is generously sized and offers a private en-suite bath.
The refreshed kitchen is equipped with brand-new GE Café appliances, quartz countertops, and timeless finishes designed to complement the home's historic ambiance. Enjoy ocean breezes from the expansive deck, stroll the lush grounds to the ground-floor studio apartment, or retreat to the private garage apartment overlooking the water.
Ample parking is provided by two driveways and a three-car garage, an exceptional amenity for a property of this stature.
Location is everything, and this home places you just three blocks from Beaches Town Center--the vibrant heart of Atlantic Beach. Enjoy a walkable lifestyle with renowned local favorites including Dune House, Doro, Pete's Bar, Sliders, Hawkers, The Grande, and an array of boutique shops, restaurants, and entertainment.
A true Atlantic Beach legacy property, this legendary oceanfront estate represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a piece of Florida history.
