1895 Antebellum house Santa Rosa Beach Florida - front view

House overview

Own a piece of Historic Point Washington, Florida. This Antebellum style home was constructed in 1895 by Simeon Strickland after he built the Wesley Mansion that now sits at Eden Gardens State Park.

Location

This five bedroom home sits on almost six acres of gorgeous, lush gardens featuring dozens of mature live oaks, southern magnolia, long-leaf pine, and Spanish needles.

The property is home to the original Point Washington Post Office that is housed in an original lumber mill workman’s cottage.

The home borders the Eden Gardens State Park, which sits on 163 acres of Florida coastline facing the Choctawhatchee Bay.

Point Washington was made famous in the movie, The Truman Show, as the spot where Jim Carrey tried to board the ferry and escape from Seahaven Island. The Point Washington boat ramp at Tucker Bayou has two renovated modern docks, boat ramps, & parking, and opens to Choctawhatchee Bay.

Interior

Complete remodel started in 2006 featuring vintage pine floors, ceilings and walls made of tongue and groove heart pine, cedar wainscoting, a beautiful eat-in kitchen, and 10ft deep wrap-around covered porches on both floors.

Central hallway features a grand staircase with original spindles. Virtually all of the heart pine in the first floor is over 120 years old, with some of it reclaimed from roofing and foundation beams during the renovation.

The kitchen features copper countertops and fixtures, and has bathroom vanities crafted from local tradesmen out of recovered cedar lumber from the Strickland Lumber Mill at Tucker Bayou.

The property

This home is perfect for a family as a forever home, or for an investor looking to own a piece of history. The opportunities are endless; the grounds and home are ideal for weddings, events and short-term rental income.
