Ready to acquire a significant piece of American architecture? For the first time in 50 years, the architect William Gray Purcell's own vacation home is ready for its next chapter. With Historic Designation and possible Mills Act accreditation, this is a rare and superior find! Three structures surrounding the incredible pool include the main residence of a 2 bedroom 2 bath home, a 2 bedroom 1 bath Casita, AND another 1 bedroom 1 bath Cottage space. All together this compound is an incredible vacation home for a large family or an even better AirBnb rental space that would yield an insane ROI. This entire property has been completely remastered, including, but not limited to a brand NEW heated pool and spa, with new equipment, windows and doors, SOLAR, and nearly everything in-between! Covered RV parking to boot! This is a rare piece of PS architecture that must be seen to be appreciated. Located just off the main drag, giving you access to all that PS has to offer! No expense spared on this turnkey property you have been dreaming of!null
