Under contract-accepting backup offers. Steeped in history and thoughtfully preserved, this one of a kind McIntosh home tells a story that dates back to the 1800s. Originally part of a half block purchased for just $5 in 1889, the home was constructed by W.E. Allen, McIntosh’s first Postmaster, and completed in 1900. Over the decades, it has been lovingly cared for by only a handful of stewards, including the Bateman family, who owned the home for over seventy years, and later a local family whose vision and dedication quite literally saved the home by relocating it 35 feet and restoring its character while preserving its architectural integrity. As you arrive, you are immediately welcomed by the wide wraparound porch, the kind that invites slow mornings and long conversations, all overlooking the beautifully maintained yard and that incredible Live Oak canopy that has shaded this property for generations. Step inside and you will feel the charm right away. Natural light pours through the windows, highlighting the original heart of pine floors and the airy feel created by the 12 foot ceilings. The main living space is warm and inviting and flows easily into the dining and kitchen areas, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen has been thoughtfully renovated while staying true to the home’s character, offering generous counter space, a large center island, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The layout opens beautifully to the dining room, making it easy to imagine hosting holidays and gatherings here with space for everyone to come together. The bedrooms are filled with light and offer a peaceful retreat, while the bathrooms blend vintage charm with updated functionality. You will find details that speak to the home’s history throughout, including preserved doors, trim work, and even a classic claw footed tub that adds to the timeless feel. One of the standout features beyond the home itself is the two detached workspaces, including an art studio and a barn or garage area, perfect for hobbies, storage, or a creative workspace. The outdoor spaces are just as special, with a paver driveway, pathways, and a firepit area surrounded by fruit trees, garden spaces, and multiple spots to relax and enjoy the setting. Designed in the Georgian Foursquare style with classic Florida cracker influences, this home was built for Florida living. The steep tin roof and tall ceilings allow heat to rise, keeping the interior comfortable year round. Today, the current owners have continued the legacy of preservation and thoughtful updates, enhancing both the home and its grounds while honoring its past. This is more than a home, it is a piece of McIntosh history, beautifully carried forward and ready for its next chapter.
