About This Home

As of May 2022

This Old Florida charmer "circa 1910" has gingerbread trim, shaker siding, metal roof and is surrounded by a leafy hammock of mature tropical vegetation.

Enter this nostalgic, true Cracker-style cottage with white wood shutters on the windows, a double French door entry, wood beamed ceilings and wood floors to a cheery, comfortable home filled with years of family memories. Just over an acre, this family compound has it all and brings a lure of living in a tropical climate on the Gulf of Mexico. The main house features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, living room, family room, dining room, kitchen and an open patio deck that looks over the open, heated pool. There is a separate single car garage with a guest suite above that offers a kitchenette, bedroom and full bath. Take a walk on one of the many paver walkways throughout the property to the "Secret Garden" and the dock w/lift. Enjoy the private path to the beach!!
