16,000 sq ft double, corner lot!
Step onto the welcoming front porch of this 1927 beauty!
Just a stone's throw from historic Fort Crockett, this is part of the highest elevation on the Island - it has not flooded! Better yet, it's a quick walk or bike ride to the beach!
A shot of the rear of the home shows a large driveway with extra parking. The two car garage also has two separate storage rooms, plus a 'work shop' area. 
Let's take a look inside. 
The foyer - the den/sun room/tv room is on the right, and the study/library is on the left. 
Entering the casual living room/den. 
Very spacious den boasts great light, and access to the exterior through two different exits - one to the back yard and another to the covered front porch. 
Alternate view of the den/tv room shows the second front door that used to serve a screened porch. 
With the use of the screen door, this makes a fantastic indoor/outdoor space. 
Gorgeous shaded front porch is accessible from the den/tv room, and it has a knack for catching the near-by Gulf breezes. Take a book for a peaceful reading session year-round. 
The downstairs half bath is easily accessible in the foyer. 
Gorgeously maintained vintage tile and fixtures adorn all the bathrooms in this 1927 beauty. 
From the foyer, facing the study, which offers access to the formal living/dining room and the kitchen. 
Doors opened to the study. 
Currently used as a study, this room connects the kitchen and the formal living/dining rooms. 
From the study to the formal living/dining room. 
Displayed as a LARGE formal dining room, this room has plenty of room for a formal living and dining room, just off the kitchen. 
What a fireplace!
This girthy fireplace functions as heating for the whole house in a pinch. 
Entering the gourmet kitchen. Stunning floors, counters, and mostly original cabinets (from the addition). Stainless appliances, a gorgeous farm sink, an oversized chef's oven, and an incredible amount of storage space. 
Stunning backsplash, vintage cabinets with modern fixtures, and a great view from the window over the sink.
Wow!
For a home of this vintage, the amount of storage is unprecedented. 
Wow!
Let's take a look upstairs. 
Just before the entry to the primary suite, there are two large, deep closets, followed by another closet in the suite and some built in dresser shelves. This is unheard of for a home of this vintage. 
Stunning light in the primary bedroom. Gorgeous blinds bring in and prevent natural light on a whim. 
A view of the primary bedroom from the bed. Note the seating area to the left, across from one of the closets - makes for a great dressing area. Then, inside the corridor to the bathroom, another dressing and make-up area. 
Vintage make-up area, with large closets to the left. 
Gorgeous vintage bathroom has been updated with period-appropriate fixtures to match the original design. 
View of the primary bedroom from the primary bathroom.
