This historic gem, with its C-3 zoning, offers endless possibilities for residential, commercial, or cultural use. In the heart of Downtown Amelia Island, built in 1895, this home is a true masterpiece. Painstakingly restored over the past decade by its dedicated owners, this property currently used as a residence has not only been returned to its original grandeur but also recognized for its exceptional craftsmanship, winning the ''Excellence in Historic Preservation Award'' in 2016. Three original wood-burning fireplaces, soaring 10-11' ceilings on both levels, and beautifully preserved heart pine hardwood floors transport you back in time, while updated electrical and plumbing ensure modern comfort and safety. This home not only offers gorgeous detail and plenty of space, but modern convenience, as well. The current owners, with an eye for detail and a passion for history, have gone to great lengths to ensure the authenticity of this home. The addition in 2015 includes a professional chef's kitchen, a true culinary dream, designed by a professional chef and kitchen design consultant. Featuring coveted soapstone countertops, professional appliances, and a spacious walk-in pantry, this gourmet space is sure to satisfy. The 3 well-functioning air conditioning units, water softener, two water heaters, and a new roof scheduled to be installed in September 2024 ensure that this home is as comfortable as it is beautiful. The back porch, complete with a fully automated and retractable screen, sits on a larger lot than many homes in the Historic District. The carriage house, with an automated garage door and room for one vehicle, offers additional space for a workshop and storage.
