Built in 1905, this beautifully preserved East Hill gem stands as a rare testament to enduring Southern architecture, thoughtfully updated without compromising its historic soul. From the moment you step inside, the craftsmanship of a bygone era is unmistakable: original white and red oak plank floors, beadboard ceilings, intricate crown molding, tall windows, interior transoms, and finely handcrafted woodwork. Details that modern construction simply cannot replicate. Every room evokes a sense of story and grace. The formal parlor and formal dining room still boast their original period mantels, tilework, and fireplaces, standing intact for over 120 years. Sunlight filters through original wavy glass windows, casting a golden glow across the timeworn hardwoods. Vintage lighting and bold colors add layers of character, while soaring ceilings and generous room sizes create a light, open ambiance. The kitchen is both functional and nostalgic, blending modern updates with historic charm. A butcher block island, custom floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, and a cheerful tile backsplash add warmth and personality. The adjoining butler’s pantry and glass-front cabinets offer practical elegance and storage with a timeless touch. The bathrooms are a refined blend of past and present, featuring custom wallpaper, pedestal sinks, a clawfoot soaking tub, and classic tilework that honors the home’s heritage while delivering everyday comfort. A unique bonus: plans for converting the spacious attic into additional living space have already been drawn, offering the potential to expand while maintaining the home's original character. More than just a residence, this is a curated piece of Pensacola’s architectural legacy. Lovingly maintained and ready to inspire its next chapter.
