Description

Beautifully remodeled home Constructed in 1928 by Dr. Dukes, this house in Carrabelle holds a significant history. The McDaniels expanded the property in the 1940s,adding rooms and a laundry area. The house has a Bay Front lot across the street. The current owner acquired the house in 1995 and ensured its stability. A termite inspection in 1995 found no damage, and the house was structurally sound. The original construction utilized a durable framing system called "balloon framing," making it strong and resilient to natural forces. The house has undergone substantial renovations, including the gutting of the kitchen and bathroom, installation of new plumbing and electrical systems, and restoration of hardwood floors. Andersen windows were added, and interior walls were refinished with elegant molding. The wooden lap siding and fireplace were carefully refurbished, and the hearth was revamped with stone tiles. The kitchen was redesigned for optimized space, featuring modern cabinets and Silestone quartz countertops. Propane-powered Stove and HWH, a recently installed HWH provide convenience. The HVAC system was replaced in 2020 for optimal climate control. In 2017, a studio/workshop was constructed with its own HVAC system and insulation, matching the main house. The copper-screened porch offers stunning views of Dog Island, and the brick driveway accommodates two vehicles. Despite its long history, the house has never suffered storm damage. It withstood the high water event caused by Hurricane Dennis and remained intact during the devastating Hurricane Michael. This house represents quality craftsmanship, enduring charm, and a testament to its rich heritage, meticulous renovations, and remarkable resilience against the elements.
