This exceptionally maintained home was one of the first built on Davis Islands in 1925, and is on the market for the first time in over 34 years. The compound style property is on over a 1/4 acre and consist of a main house, guest cottage, large pool with spa, 2 car open garage pavilion, and parking court. Lush foliage was designed to give privacy and yet ease to maintain. The 3 bedroom 2 bath main house has a true South Florida architect Addison Mizner feel with exterior walls being almost a foot thick. Walking up to the front covered loggia entry a fountain can be viewed from the first of the 4 courtyards. Upon entering the living room, with wood burning fireplace, is a one of a kind coved ballroom ceiling. Beautiful quarter sewn oak floors and wide plantation shutters can be found throughout the home. Pass the dining room is the custom designed chefs kitchen with SubZero and Wolf appliances and large multi-functioning island. This area also overlooks an open den and another courtyard beyond a glass wall. Another door from the kitchen takes you to the outdoor kitchen pergola courtyard with large natural cut slate flooring. The master bedroom is an oasis unto itself. Like the kitchen, custom wood cabinetry defines the space. French doors from the master suite overlook the orchid courtyard. Two additional bedrooms with a connecting bath are also found in the main house. Both bathrooms were completely redone 2 years ago with Waterworks fixtures. The guest house has a more mid-century feel with bedroom, full bath and wonderful terracotta tile in the living room/ kitchenette areas. This living room area could also be used as a large 5th bedroom for the property. There is a 26x14 pool with spa surrounded by French tumbled travertine stone in the largest courtyard. This space has multiple entertaining areas. The pool and spa are gas heated. The open 2 car parking pavilion is already equipped with an electric car charger. There are 2 AC systems for the home, one is only 3 months old. A new tile roof was installed 5 years ago, and there are custom storm shutters for every window and door for both buildings. Attention to detail and maintaining this one of a kind Historic residence have always been paramount to the owners, while also updating to current day standards. The home was showcased for a Florida Trust for Historic Preservation State meeting for its excellence.
