Description
This restored 3 BR 3 BA Victorian home, known as the Pansy Cottage, has always been an important historic landmark on Circle Drive. It was the original home of Isabella MacDonald Alden, a prominent Chautauqua-era childrens author who wrote hundreds of books and articles and was a speaker on the Chautauqua circuit. During its complete restoration in 2000, great care was taken to maintain the original architectural integrity of the house. There are beautiful heart pine floors & woodwork throughout, as well as two staircases, stained glass windows, and a pedestal sink and claw foot tub in the master bath. Upgrades include custom lighting, hand painted decorative work, and stainless steel appliances. The exterior features a balcony off the master bedroom overlooking Lake DeFuniak and Circle Drive, plus a beautiful wrap-around front porch to enjoy the lake breezes and the elegant lifestyle of an authentic historic town. If you havent experienced the charm of small town living surrounding the DeFuniak Springs lakeyard, you owe yourself a field trip to see why this town is the best kept secret in the Panhandle, yet only 30 minutes from the beautiful beaches of South Walton. While the house is in great condition, due to its age, it is being sold As Is with right to inspect. All dimensions and square footage to be verified by Buyer at Buyers expense. House is in DeFuniak Springs Historic District and subject to certain regulations |
