Back on market due to Cash offer contract falling thru! Their loss is your gain!

This house will take you back with décor dating nearly 400 years ago. The lanterns, ranch styled accoutrements, and elements of Mission style architecture are all part of the rustic charm in this 2- story Vintage Floridian home. You will take a walk into the past inside a quaint Spanish castle nestled amidst lush leafy foliage and towering Palms. The front arched alabaster stucco carport was once used as a carriage drop off. It is adorned with polished colorfull marble pavers patterned like mosaic under your feet. The steps are in a blue tile with patterned design etched along the borders. The entrances open to a 20-foot Floor to Ceiling Fireplace and vaulted beamed ceilings adding depth and drama. As your eyes pan upwards, you will find 2 Juliet balconies with wrought iron railings ornamenting the high ceilings. They peek out from the second story overlooking the formal living room and are certainly cause for awe. Window decor is at its finest featuring colorful stained glass throughout the living & sitting areas, lead glass inlays in the front door, and twisted iron shaped like flowers darn the windows in the breakfast nook, which are all among the extraordinary details! There are endless built-ins, bookcases, shelves, and cabinetry. The wood floors gleam throughout and heavy pile patterned designer carpet covers the master bedroom and hallway.
