This is a classic “Key West” home built in 1893 (called the Peklo House) on a registered historic street and district within Port Orange. Most of the trim and one door (kitchen door and windows) and other parts of the house are original and were restored. The front of the house has a wrap-around (veranda) porch (restored) with awesome views up and down the Halifax River. The property includes a 2 bedroom/2 full bath main house and 1 bedroom/1 full bath cottage (that can be rented daily, weekly or annually) a tool room, 1 car garage, and several sheds for storage and lawn equipment. There are palm trees, orange trees, banana palms and other tropical plants in front and back of the property. The main house master and 2nd bedroom are upstairs with large bathroom. The master bedroom has a large window/dormer facing the river. Adjacent to the living room is a full bath with shower.
The property was remodeled with a new side entrance and overhead covering. The main living room (first floor) has new large windows looking out to the river. Entrance is through a stained glass front door, side and rear doors. The house includes new carpeting, new paint, new sub-flooring on main floor. Kitchen has new (Pergo) simulated wood floors that flow to the rear dining and sitting area. The living room is carpeted and includes 2 side-by-side fireplaces, new 2 x 12 beam sub-flooring, new lighting fixtures and fans throughout the house. The main house roof is four (4) years old and the cottage’s roof is 2 years old. The cottage was recently repainted as well.
There has been no occupancy (house or cottage) after completion of the remodeling and no furniture is in either house. The house is ready for immediate occupancy.
Access to the beach (over Port Orange Bridge) takes about 25-30 minutes by foot and 5-7 minutes by car. There is a 50 foot dock for fishing and boating on the Halifax River with access to the Atlantic Ocean (approximately 4 miles).
