SEASIDE

Located on the Florida Panhandle in the pioneering new urbanist community of Seaside, this tower house is an easy walk from the Gulf of Mexico and the center of town. The dramatic, fourth-story tower porch also has views of the beach. Built by a developer as his personal home, it spares no expense on details, from the 14-foot Calcutta marble island to the glass elevator. The 3,084-square-foot house has four bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths, including a spa-like master bath and a bunk room. There’s also plenty of wall space to hold your art collection. The sale price includes custom furnishings and window treatments.

Original architectural details include an elaborate front facade and pecky cypress ceilings.

FERNANDINA BEACH

An eclectic Victorian on one of Fernandina Beach’s most classic and historic streets, this old Floridian house was built in 1876. The house recently underwent a total renovation that preserved the historic charm—like elaborate gingerbread millwork, four fireplaces, and heart pine wood floors—while updating it for modern living. Spread over 3,713 square feet, the main house has four bedrooms and three baths, with a detached guest suite perfect for company or for use as an artist’s studio. Or use the glass pool house, approached by a jasmine-draped pergola walkway with a gurgling fountain, as
an even more incredible studio.

TAMPA

Here’s a house built in 2013 that looks so authentically historic it could just as easily have been built in 1923. Perfect for the artistically minded, the 6,823-square-foot, five-bedroom, five-bath house in Tampa oozes Old Florida glamour. Plus, it comes with a spacious 1,100-square-foot garage apartment that would make a perfect artist’s studio. Classic details abound, including pecky cypress, reclaimed beams, mahogany doors and an outdoor lanai with a wood-burning fireplace. Outside, a large pool sits on the leafy 0.6-acre lot.
