508 Ball St., New Smyrna Beach, FL 32168

Winner of the 2013 Donnadine Miller Memorial Historic Preservation award from the City of New Smyrna Beach, this beautifully restored c.1910 home is immaculate and gorgeous! From the front walkway made of salvaged Canal Street red bricks to an interior door relocated from the historic Alba Court Inn - and even painstakingly hand-restored pulley and lever windows (many with original glass) - everywhere you look this home is lovely, authentic and eye-popping. The architectural style, Frame Vernacular, was a hallmark of Florida architecture from the 1840's - 1910's, and true to that style, there are two lovely, inviting front porches (one is upstairs off the master bedroom, the current owners' favorite for morning coffee), a working fireplace in the living room, a large eat-in kitchen (with modern conveniences like the dishwasher and microwave hidden behind quality custom cabinetry), 2 bedrooms upstairs, and bathrooms on both floors. The new hardwood floors and original, dark wood, hand-carved staircase create warmth and elegance throughout the home. Located on a quiet, oak canopied street in a historic neighborhood with several other restored homes, it is a short walk or bike ride to Canal Street, the farmers' market, and Riverside Drive. The large, private, fenced backyard features a spacious wood deck with an outdoor shower, while a detached garage (air conditioned!) and shed provide generous storage space. All plumbing and electric are updated, the metal roof is from only 2006, and there is a transferable termite bond. This home MUST be seen in person to experience its beauty and ambiance, as well as inspect the high quality restoration. ;Water: City
