** 2/2 Main house, plus studio mother-in-law. ** This Spanish Mission jewel built in 1925 sits on a corner lot across from the golf course and Intracoastal Waterway in the much sought after and very desirable Parrot Cove neighborhood.

Arched French entry door, original pecky cypress front door, a formal dining room with arched windows, French doors, fireplace, original oak flooring, crystal doorknobs, arched openings that transition from room to room, gently curved cove ceiling detail, stucco walls throughout, and pecky cypress ceilings are only a few of its charming details. The main house is 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths, and the detached studio has a kitchenette and full bath. The living room in the main house is welcoming with its rich oak floors, fireplace, and graceful cove ceiling detail. There is a formal dining room with three arched period windows that frame the dining space. A glass enclosed sun porch currently used as an office shows off its original pecky cypress ceiling. The large open kitchen has abundant cabinets, Spanish tile floors, and a natural gas stove, plus plenty of room for an island. The two bedrooms are unusually large for a home of this age. The largest is 16 x 15 and the other is 16 x 13! The bathrooms have been completely modernized. Double French doors from the kitchen and Florida room lead out to a fully screened 17 x 11 porch with open beam ceiling.
