This charming,original Mediterranean 4 bedroom,3 bath home is a well known landmark on Davis Islands. This large property is accessible from 3 streets-Erie, Bosphorus and Chesapeake. As this home was a pro shop before it was converted to a spacious 4/3 home 51 years ago,there are many features not found in homes built in 1925: a WalkIn closet in the large upstairs Master Suite w/ a large Master Bath & adjoining bonus office.3BR,2Ba downstairs.15` ceilings in the LR. Cathedral ceiling in Family Room(21x19) w/ a charming interior balcony overlooking this room:a brick fireplace, brick floors and 2 shutter covered,treated glass sliding doors looking onto a lovely,fenced garden w/ a raised patio.This home was built by D.P.Davis as the Caddy Shack and the 1st tee of the Davis Islands Golf and Country Club! Mr. Davis chose this site as the highest elevation on the Islands and the Caddy Shack was placed to capture afternoon shade on the golfers` porch.The delightful large screened porch at the entry is a surprise to guests as they can sit in the afternoon as the golfers did more than 80 years ago.The last remaining building of the Davis Islands Golf and Country Club is now a livable family home on a large, beautifully landscaped, 2 corner lot. The original, almost foot thick,brick walls provide natural insulation and quiet year round. There is great potential on this huge property and good bones in this solid home for the sophisticated Buyer for renovation or a tremendous property for a special dream home.
