Situated in the highly sought-after Historic Old Northeast, this exceptional Craftsman home blends timeless character with modern comforts. Originally built as a small bungalow in 1919, it was relocated in 2001 to its current non-flood-zone location where it was significantly expanded and modernized, providing a rare blend of historical charm along with all-new plumbing, electrical, kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, etc. The property includes an oversized two-story garage with a spacious studio apartment, a delightful screened-in gazebo, and a large patio surrounded by bamboo and palm trees.

The spacious kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring a gas stove, expansive granite counters, and French doors that provide light and entrance to the lush, serene patio. Adjacent to the kitchen is an inviting sunroom filled with windows and additional French doors, creating a beautiful flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.
