Built in 1907 by Morris Stern, This Grand Neoclassical Mansion has a History and a Past! Known for its Original Woodwork and Gorgeous Wood Floors, Amazing Hardware and Copious Stained-Glass Windows, this Home's Construction was an Iconic Example of Post-Disaster Recovery after the Great Hurricane of 1900 - Built to Withstand Anything with Concrete Block Construction! A White Pediment Crowns the Front Door, Flanked by Two-Story, Double Corinthian Columns - Having Undergone Extensive Renovations, Too Numerous to List Here and a Second Floor Reconfiguration for Contemporary Living Standards, this Stately Mansion is Better than Ever, While Retaining Its Old-World Charm. A Large Circular Drive and Completely Renovated Large Pool Insure an Impressive Setting! Very Recent HVAC, Roof and Appliances!
Owned by Robert Neal, a friend of the Kennedys, JFK and Brother Robert Stayed at this Residence while in Office, and it was known as the "Rat Pack Party House".
