A chance to own historic 2-story home on over 3 acres, convenient to Escambia River boat ramp, this absolutely unique home melds nostalgia and possibilities. Location might work for dance lessons, pet sitting/boarding, childcare, daycare, bait & tackle, product showroom, flea market etc. Home it is easy to find but improvements are off the busy road. Charming circular drive with a mature Meyer's Lemon Tree as its centerpiece is flanked by tall hedges that surround an English-style brick courtyard. Inside, is no less intriguing. Entering thru the double French doors you'll find a great room in every sense of the term~with two half-brick support columns.

A glance over your other shoulder brings to view lattice work shelving thru which the soaring staircase is visible. The rear wall of this Great Room is formed by floor to ceiling cabinetry for books or collectibles. What an amazing library, or dance hall or game room or great room; the unique space could serve in many, evolving ways! Nothing can compare to this room, but all downstairs rooms are surprisingly spacious, and the downstairs has two, separate, primary suites, each with an ensuite bath ~ plus there is a half bath. The lower East wing of the home would be a perfect mother-in-law suite; it is 23x23 inside with a separate entry off a private covered 12x27 porch. There are 3 additional bedrooms upstairs plus one full bath. (Each upstairs bedroom has a window unit (that heats & cools) for efficiency.) Downstairs there is new luxury vinyl plank flooring; upstairs has new carpeting. The house boasts two fireplaces: one is gas; one is woodburning. (The gas is however disconnected.) There are two hot water heaters too! The kitchen is at the rear of the home with exits into a formal dining room and also onto a lovely rear y
