Very rare opportunity to own one of the most historic houses in the highly desirable Lighthouse Park neighborhood! The historic Coquina Inn was constructed in 1915 by the Post Mastress of Anastasia Island, Ms. Mary Heston. Across its over 2,500 sf of livable space, the home features five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and an apartment connected to the main residence. The house also possesses original hardwood floors, two fireplaces, bead board ceilings, and historic charm throughout. The living room, dining room, and master suite also feature extensive crown molding. The master suite also has its own sitting room. The house also possesses an exceptionally rare basement around 1,700 square feet. A mother in law apartment with its own porch and entrance is located on the side of the house and faces White Street. The historic home was constructed of locally produced “Tabby Revival” block which was made by mixing quarried coquina shell with cement. In the 1910s, the blocks were put on display at the city plaza and advertised as a dependable material to build a house that lasts against Florida’s unique climate. One notable guest was newspaperman Arthur Brisbane who wintered at the inn frequently. The residence is in an exceptionally attractive location and is within walking distance to downtown, Lighthouse Park Boat Ramp, R.B. Hunt Elementary School, Anastasia Island State Park, the Amphitheater, and the Farmer’s market. The Lighthouse Park neighborhood is positioned on a sand dune so it will never flood unlike other parts of the historic city.
