Two Acres with Spectacular Views of Escambia Bay! Welcome to the mansion on the Bluff overlooking Escambia Bay. This lovely residence offers a glimpse into the past, but is outfitted with all the modern conveniences you’ll need to live a celebrated lifestyle. Enter the foyer to the step-down living room with soaring vaulted ceilings and an elegant wood-burning fireplace with beamed mantel and a built in media cabinet fitting the scheme. Observe the library wall with a ladder and many shelves to display your books and collections. The kitchen offers stainless and tile with patterned tile floors, and an interesting brick wall where the bricks tell stories of Old Pensacola. At the top of the stairs is a balcony from where you can appreciate the full spectrum of the downstairs. The master is huge and a full balcony boasts sweeping views of the bay. The master bath is multi-leveled with a, sunken Jacuzzi tub and a skylight. There are two bedrooms downstairs. One with a skylight in the bathroom overlooking a garden; the other with a water view and a safe-room which could be used as a tornado shelter. There’s a laundry room; and a bonus room off the kitchen with a private entrance, private bath and beautifully landscaped patio that would be an ideal guest suite or short term rental. There’s a garage, a new HVAC system, a Bosch instant hot water system and impact windows downstairs. The owner was a passionate gardener who took great pride in the estate, to the extent of pruning the trees to enhance the view. He belonged to the local Camellia Growers Club, planting 450 camellia bushes which is presently maintained by the Chapter. Add to the utopian setting are Japanese maples, Agapanthus, decks, overlooks, patios, views and a forested pathway leading to a shared, privately owned beach.
