This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home has been thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom, blending historic charm with luxury finishes. Inside, you'll find soaring 16-foot ceilings, designer lighting, and meticulous craftsmanship throughout. The spacious primary suite features dual granite vanities, an oversized glass shower, and French doors that open to a screened wrap-around porch. Both bathrooms are fully remodeled, including a jacuzzi tub and a private water closet with natural light and ventilation. The gourmet kitchen boasts a deep farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and 42-inch soft-close wood cabinetry. The home also offers a separate dining area and a granite breakfast bar for casual meals. A floor-to-ceiling custom entertainment center anchors the cozy living space, and every window throughout the home is upgraded to impact glass with matching granite sills. The attic and encapsulated crawlspace are both fully insulated with blown-in insulation for efficient, year-round comfort.
Structurally, the home is built to last. It has been reinforced with two feet of poured foundation and added foundation blocks, while the entire exterior has been re-stuccoed using wire lath and plaster. Major systems include a 4-ton Trane HVAC, Water softener system, 40-gallon water heater, and a 200-amp electrical panelall housed in a separate tech room with built-in shelving. A full laundry room with washer, dryer, and sink adds convenience to daily living. The metal roof has passed recent inspection and adds lasting durability.
Step outside into your own private retreat. The wood privacy fenced backyard is wrapped in mature Areca Palms and centers around a large custom deck with a hot tub and a granite seating area built into one of Brevard County's oldest oak trees. A front brick walkway leads to the inviting entrance with decorative handrails. A detached 1.5-car garage sits on a new foundation, complete with epoxy-coated floors, air conditioning, and a gated driveway.
This property is a rare opportunity to own a completely updated, income-producing piece of rock and roll historywhether as a full-time residence, weekend getaway, or short-term rental. It's truly a home like no other.
