Step back in time to a place where solid tongue-in-groove heart pine walls, floors and ceilings are the norm. A place where heritage oaks provide a canopy of shade 12.4' above sea level directly on the ICWW. Gentle breezes never cease, and the magnificence of 180 degree views inspire the soul. This is one of rarest opportunities for authentic coastal living on the coast of NW Florida. Lovingly restored to maintain its historic feel, the former "DuPont" home is comfortable, livable, and marries the convenience of up to the minute major systems with the charm of yesteryear. Completely updated bathrooms, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, natural gas tankless water heater and new roof offer peace of mind. There are five bedrooms, with amazing waterviews - the master with ensuite updated bathroom, and french doors leading to the covered waterfront porch; two bedrooms - one of which has a true "dressing" room complete with vanity - are connected by a jack & jill bathroom with large walk-in shower and double vanities, the fifth bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, and accesses the laundry room. There is a large paneled library/office a formal dining room, open and airy kitchen with an island, and a massive greatroom that features a large fireplace, soaring ceilings with exposed beams, french doors and huge fixed windows that lead to the covered porch and views of the tree shaded waterfront. Enough cannot be said about the beauty of this homesite-which is actually two lots. The possibilities are endless for a family compound, a guest house, or even simply selling the adjacent lot off separately. An 840 sf detached garage is perfect for storing equipment, and could even be fitted as a mancave or studio. The wharf is phenomenal-built as if on a commercial scale, it has extra long/deep wrapped pilings, is wide enough for a golf cart and has flow through grate so that it is impervious to rising tides & storms. 17K# boatlift and water depth and space for a large yacht.
