174 1/2 Dr Frederick S Humphries St, 32320

For sale in the historic district--unique 2 bedroom/2 bath Contemporary shotgun designed by a respected architect, professor and avid supporter of Apalachicola. From the Charleston style side entry, one enters a beautiful light filled space with a 20ft ceiling and painted tongue groove walls. A warm living area with gas fireplace opens to a modern custom kitchen and built-in dining space. Completing the first floor is a full bath with walk-in tile shower and a private rear bedroom/den opening to an outdoor deck and patio space. Light and nature continue to intermingle on the second floor, where the loft bedroom and private bath have quiet elevated views of magnolia and palm trees. Indeed, the placement of the patio and decks is wonderfully shady and cool and works to increase the living area as a whole. Bathed in light where the outside is always inside, this perfectly designed shotgun marks an important pivot point in the evolution of the architectural history of Apalachicola. Location is also easily accessible to downtown shops and restaurants, the marina, and the Mill Pond and estuary walk--key areas of this Florida seaside community. Call for an appointment today!
