Step back in time with this charming historic Carrabelle cottage—beautifully remodeled to blend classic character with modern comforts. Built in 1938, this fully furnished 1-bedroom, 1-bath gem features original pine floors complemented by cozy carpeting, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Reflecting a bygone era when closets were not a standard feature, although it may not meet today's technical definition of a bedroom, the intended use was, when built, to be used as a sleeping space that comfortably accommodates a queen bed. The bathroom also offers great potential for customization, with ample space to reconfigure the vanity and add a stacked washer and dryer—an upgrade that would add both convenience and functionality without compromising comfort. Relax on the spacious screened-in porch, where you can enjoy the gentle coastal breeze and take in the peaceful surroundings. After a day of exploring, rinse off in the unique outdoor shower—an added touch of rustic charm. The property has been thoughtfully updated with new plumbing, new electrical systems, a new roof, and an energy-efficient mini-split system, all completed in 2022 and 2023, ensuring worry-free living while preserving its timeless appeal. Outside, a whimsical touch awaits—a vintage iron bed frame creatively reimagined as a blooming “flower bed,” adding a playful nod to the cottage's storied past. The yard is spacious enough to park your boat, and the public boat ramp is just a few blocks away—perfect for boaters and anglers alike. This delightful cottage captures the essence of Old Florida living with modern upgrades and unbeatable charm. Zoned commercial (C1), it will require a variance approval from the City of Carrabelle to remain residential. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of history with all the comforts of today!
