The main residence, nearly 5,000 square feet, features 6 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and an abundance of old-world character, graceful archways, original hardwood and terracotta flooring, high pecky cypress ceilings, and elegant entertaining spaces that open seamlessly to the tropical gardens. 2 additional stand alone structures, totaling approximately 2,800 square feet, houses 5 private suites each with its own entrance, en-suite bath, and outdoor terrace. Perfect for visiting guests, multigenerational living, or continued use as a boutique bed and breakfast. Potential opportunity exists to add 5 additional rooms as permitted by the Bed & Breakfast license; however, this expansion is subject to city and historic board approval. The estate is equipped with two full laundry rooms for guest and staff use, and on-site staff currently resides on the property and will convey with the sale, ensuring a seamless transition for continued operations or personal management. The grounds evoke a private resort, surrounded by mature palms, stone pathways, an inviting inground pool and lush greenery, creating the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. A two-car garage and additional off-street parking complete the property's exceptional functionality.
