Description

For sale: Expertly designed Apalachicola home and adjoining vacant lot with historic city oak located within the southside historic district. This original craftsman cottage was completely renovated, raised on new foundation, and expanded with a complete second floor in 2006. Details tell it all--a wide, breezy front porch with partial views of Apalachicola Bay; beautiful and rare heart pine floors; original tongue and groove ceilings and moldings; and plenty of windows make this home truly unique. The floor plan is inherently social, and the chef's kitchen is efficiently designed with custom cabinetry and lovely soapstone counters. The rear of the house opens to a spacious screened living porch that begs for lazy mornings and afternoon cocktails with friends. One bedroom with full bath is downstairs, while a beautifully light-filled primary bedroom, bathroom and den/office is upstairs. Also note, there is a bonus guest cottage out back, and let's not forget the adjacent 60 x 100 lot for your future plans. Location: this special home is a short walk to Apalach's quaint downtown shops and restaurants, the public marina, and the fishing piers at Battery Park and Lafayette Park.
