Zoning & Development Potential
The parcel is zoned MF32, classified as Multi-Family Residential High Density District under the city's zoning code. The three-lot configuration and high-density zoning create flexibility for multiple uses, whether as a single-family compound, a primary residence with rental income, or a property with redevelopment potential. A second separate driveway provides additional off-street parking or dedicated tenant access.
Main Residence Interior
The front entry opens from a large stone porch with a covered entrance into the living room, which features hardwood floors and a wet bar with a quartz countertop, hammered copper sink, and wine cooler. The kitchen stretches over 20 feet long with whitewashed ceramic faux-wood flooring, a quartz-topped island with three pendant lamps, decorative ceramic tile backsplashes, and Samsung appliances including a four-door French door refrigerator, five-burner gas range with custom hood, and dishwasher. A porcelain farmer's sink, custom cabinetry with pullout drawers, two large pantries, and a dedicated coffee bar with its own quartz counter complete the kitchen. A door opens directly to the terrace and pool area.
The formal dining room adjoins the kitchen with matching floors and a banquet-size china and linen closet. A service hallway connects to an appliance niche, double-door supply pantry, guest powder room with pedestal sink, and a laundry room with newer GE gas washer and dryer on pedestals, a quartz-topped prep area, built-in ironing board, and a convenience door to the side yard leading to the detached garage.
The ground floor primary suite includes a large walk-in closet and a newly created bath with marble flooring, an extended vanity with quartz countertop, makeup area, marble tile shower with seamless glass enclosure, bidet, and comfort-level commode. A separate wing houses two additional bedrooms with large closets and a shared ceramic tile bath with double-bowl vanity and built-in tub shower. The second floor contains a private suite with a large bedroom, pine wood flooring, an alcove, oversized closet, and a newly created ceramic tile bath with marble flooring and a double-bowl vanity with quartz countertop.
Pool, Grounds & Garage Apartment
The 30-foot saltwater gunite pool includes a built-in sunning deck with staggered stairway, surrounded by an entertainment-size patio and sun deck. A raised terrace with tumbled marble flooring and decorative wrought iron fencing and gate opens off the kitchen. The grounds include lush landscaping and a private fenced garden area.
The detached two-car garage includes an extra storage room and workshop on the ground floor. The second-floor apartment is a fully updated two-bedroom, one-bath unit with separate utilities, currently producing rental income. It features Miami-Dade style hardwood floors throughout, a galley kitchen with granite countertops and newer GE appliances, its own first-floor laundry room with washer, dryer, and hot water tank, and a private outdoor staircase leading to a spacious covered porch.
Systems & Construction
Hurricane impact windows are installed throughout both the main house and the apartment, with the exception of the second-floor front windows on the main house, which are preserved under historic district regulations. Doors are also hurricane impact rated. Mechanical systems include a newer Trane HVAC unit serving the first floor, a brand-new Cooper and Hunter unit installed September 2025 for the second floor, and two tankless hot water tanks. A security system with motion detectors is in place.
