This large "Raised Gulf Coast Creole Cottage" style home is the oldest home in the East Hill Neighborhood of Pensacola, FL . Named AUTAUGA by the original owners meaning "peaceful pure water" Circa 1855. Dating from the mid-19 century, it has been lovingly and painstakingly restored to its original beauty over the last 30 years. With its 6 fireplaces (3 with gas inserts), high 11' ceilings, wide 65' foot long central corridor (foyer from front to back), and beautiful and large windows, it offers a delightful surprise with every turn and room. There are four wonderful covered porches, one being a large L - shaped screened porch off the main living room and overlooking the private and secluded New Orleans style courtyard whose focal points include a giant Live Oak which is a few hundred years old, and an elegant fountain. The property is over 1/2 acre lushly and beautifully landscaped in a carefully chosen Gulf Coast garden fashion. All four large bedrooms are separated nicely from one another as well as from the central living area. The "Garden Bedroom" has wonderful east , south and westerly facing views of the beautiful lawns and has its own private balcony-style sitting porch complete with an outdoor shower (along with its own private complete bath). The chef's kitchen was remodeled in March of 2016 with all top of the line stainless appliances. All of this sits tucked in on a very private 1/2 acre corner lot within walking distance to several East Hill restaurants, parks, shops and other venues, as well as to downtown and Cordova area. A true gem of Pensacola. It is truly a peaceful paradise in a prime location of East Hill. Buyer should verify exact square footage measurements.
