More than just a home, this plantation-style property is the opportunity to own a piece of authentic Florida history. Built at the turn of the 20th century, it has had a succession of eminent owners and custodians over the past 125 years, each contributing to its character while retaining its historic distinction. Heralded as one of the “finest Victorian eclectic-style houses in Panama City,” it is probably the only Folk Victorian home on the market in the city. Now carefully renovated, this beautiful treasure stands proudly on an expansive quarter-acre corner lot beneath mature live oaks draped with trailing Spanish moss.

Just a short walk from St. Andrews Bay, this remarkable home boasts breathtaking water views from the second floor. Traditional balconies and porches provide generous areas for relaxing, reading, and entertaining, with fresh breezes enhancing the alfresco lifestyle. Ample living spaces and sleeping accommodations make this grand home versatile and suitable for multiple uses, such as a multi-generational family home or a business. The former garage has been converted into a charming two-bedroom carriage house, providing rental income potential from day one. The door opens into an open living room with wood flooring, a well-equipped modern kitchen, and a comfortable living room. Two bedrooms include a light-filled first-floor bedroom with large windows and a built-in closet. The second-floor bedroom oozes charm and character with skylight windows for stargazing and doors opening onto a small balcony. A modern bathroom with antique-style black fittings transitions old and new.

Those looking for a prestigious home that’s completely out of the ordinary with a legacy of history and opportunity will find this residence ticks all the boxes. Located in the sought-after Beach Drive neighborhood, the home is currently pending a Historic Marker, requested by the Panama City Historic Society to be placed as part of the Sidewalk Improvement Project. Conveniently close to Tyndall Air Force Base, this unique home is within easy walking distance to downtown coffee shops, restaurants, breweries, parks, festivals, and the farmers market.
