This exceptional property offers a rare chance to own a home that beautifully blends historic charm with modern conveniences, all situated on a generous 0.81-acre estate lot on John Anderson Drive. In 2006, the current owners undertook a large expansion and modernization of the property (adding nearly 2000 feet of living area), making this the perfect family home with great flexibility for those who like to entertain. Included in the new design is a large eat-in kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances including a gas cooktop, range hood, double oven, warming drawer, wine fridge and dishwasher. Next to the kitchen is a formal dining room, or use it as a family room with beautiful oak floors, a gas fireplace and lovely pool views. The great room is an ideal space for family activities or perhaps a game or media room. The adjacent formal living area features immaculate oak floors and mahogany bookshelves creating a warm inviting space, flanked by a cozy den, complete with a wood-burning fireplace. The main level also features a spacious bedroom with a full en-suite bathroom, along with a half bath for guests.The second level offers a second primary bedroom plus three additional bedrooms, all boasting beautiful heart pine floors, adding to the home's historic appeal. A bonus room off the kitchen could serve as an office, exercise room or flex space with attached full bath that serves the pool as well. A large mudroom and laundry area lead out towards the oversized 2-car garage, with an EV charging station and attached workshop. Step outside to relax and enjoy the cool ocean breezes as well as the views of the expansive front lawn while sitting on the pool deck with built-in summer kitchen, or enjoy a swim in your pool with spa.This home is located less than a mile from Granada Boulevard, the Casements and Fortunato Park, and minutes more to all of the shopping, dining, and cultural events Ormond Beach has to enjoy.
