Property Description
Spacious, historic and dry. Located in a highly desirable non-flood/non-evacuation zone (Zone X), this home features five bedrooms, three full baths plus a convenient poolside half-bath. Boasting nearly 3,000 square feet of versatile living space, it’s situated on a roomy one-and-a-half lots in a quiet, tree-lined residential area just two blocks north of Historic Kenwood. Originally built in 1932 and thoughtfully expanded, this charming home features a large chef’s kitchen, full dining room, foyer, main living room, additional entertainment room, library with custom built-in shelving, screened-in front porch, mudroom and two working wood-burning fireplaces—one in the living room and one in the library. The primary suite on the second floor offers generous space and an en suite bath with a sunny skylight. Architectural details include crown molding, three skylights and French doors that open to the library, entertainment room and expansive backyard.
The front yard features low-maintenance, low-water xeriscaping. The private backyard features a large kidney-shaped swimming pool (big enough for laps or pool volleyball) and a six-foot-high brick privacy wall surrounding the entire yard. A separate concrete block outbuilding (approximately 238 sq ft) offers flexible use as a pool house, workshop or creative space, with additional roof-covered storage space in the back and side of the building. An off-street parking pad easily accommodates two large vehicles. Storage is abundant with seven closets—including five walk-ins—extensive kitchen cabinetry, laundry room shelving and attic.
Recent updates include a newer roof (2021) on both the main house and outbuilding, exterior paint (2023), new electric tank water heater that serves the kitchen and two bathrooms (2025), new electric tankless water heater that serves one bathroom (2025) and a new washer and dryer (2025).
With these major updates already done, this home offers an excellent opportunity to personalize the kitchen, baths and interior finishes to suit your taste.
Conveniently located, this home is just 15 minutes from beaches and 10 minutes from downtown by car, with quick-and-easy access to Central Avenue dining and shopping, Mazzaro’s Italian Market, Publix, Walmart, Sam’s Club and Aldi.
