Description
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of history! This home is one of a kind and is on the historic registry. The Horace Walker House was designed by the same architect that designed the Ripley's building and Casa Zorayda. It is the smallest of the 3 and was placed on the historic register because it was the first time a coquina veneer was used on the outside of a structure. Many recent improvements include a new roof, new a/c, etc. As you enter the home, beautiful wood floors and staircase greet you, with a herringbone pattern around the edge of the hallway. Extremely ornate wood trim around all doors and windows show the incredible craftsmanship of that time, and a clawfoot tub graces the second floor bathroom. Much of the original plaster walls still remain. You can just feel the history when you enter! To make it even better, it is within walking distance to the historic district, shops and restaurants, and is zoned CN, allowing for many uses besides just a home. This house NEVER FLOODED in either hurricane. It never even lost power or cable! If you love history, this is for you!
