SOUTH STREET SHOW STOPPER

Oh yes, it’s that house on South Street everyone stops to admire and yes, it delivers on every promise. Coquina block construction first catches your eye as you’re drawn up the walkway to better see the detail. 32′ front porch is an all-season “Florida room” for coffee, cocktails, dining, entertaining, chatting with neighbors, checking email and doing absolutely nothing at all if that is tops on your to-do list. Porch curtains add privacy and keep you dry if a rain shower passes through.

Enter through that beautiful front door and discover the labor of love renovation that makes this home so special. A bedroom on the left shares hall bath with dinner guests. To the right the living room has two walls of windows streaming in diffused sunlight. Open to the dining room and kitchen, the flow for daily living and entertaining friends and family is easy so no one gets left out of the conversation. The kitchen was designed for people passionate about cooking and you’ll create many a memorable meal here. Custom cabinetry keeps everything close and displays your favorite glasses and dishes. Prep island means 2 or more can work together and 2 window benches provide extra seating for culinary consultants. 1st floor master is at the back with a private bath clad in period detail. Enjoy a soak after a day on the town or grab a quick shower in the adjoining hall bath.

Treetop master takes up the 2nd floor and it’s a peaceful retreat at day’s end. A generous room with 2 seating areas for reading, movie watching or a micro office with a view out the windows. Dressing room is next to the master bath and the closet is at the top of the landing.

Downstairs and out the back door the laundry/storage room has lots of space. Fully fenced and landscaped with graceful palms, the yard has a pavered patio for outdoor activities if you can get yourself off the porch. Driveway holds 2-3 cars and it’s an easy walk/bike ride to all the sights, food, art and music waiting 8 blocks away.
