About The House

Welcome to 1404 East Lakeview Avenue. Nestled along one of Pensacola's most elegant and beautiful residential streets, this 78-year-old home impresses from the moment you enter with its timeless beauty. With solid masonry structure and classic Georgian style, this one-of-a-kind home has exquisite attention to detail and is a tribute to the craftsmen of the past.

Visitors are greeted in a warm and inviting entrance and living room by warm dark walnut trim, floors of quarter sawn white oak and beautifully crafted crown molding. The feeling of tasteful elegance extends through the adjoining dining room with its Waterford crystal chandelier, crystal sconces, and full windows with custom over-treatments and blinds. Easily accessible from the dining room and entrance hall, the kitchen is designed for ease of use and is equipped with the finest appliances including a Northland refrigerator, a Viking cook top, double ovens, and an ice machine. A stairway from the entrance hall with a half-bath neatly tucked away at its top leads downward to a Pensacola rarity, a spacious basement family/media room that includes a built-in bar and fireplace.

On the second floor, accessible by a majestic stairway, are four generously proportioned and comfortable bedrooms, each with several windows providing spectacular natural light and three full baths providing plenty of room for a family to grow. Each bathroom is charming with its original vintage tile.

The house offers many choices for relaxation, including a cozy sunroom secreted beyond the living room. In the beautifully landscaped, mature English rear garden a Palladian style pool house with a full bath and wet bar overlooks a large and inviting pool. Additionally, a carriage house outside the walled garden contains a double garage and a one-bedroom apartment. The second-floor apartment, with its own full bath and kitchen is suitable as a guesthouse or rental property.

The Area

The house is situated in the epicenter of "East Hill," one of Pensacola's most sought-after neighborhoods, and is convenient to schools, neighborhood eateries, and quaint shops. Jay's Bakery, a Pensacola landmark, a neighborhood drug shop, and popular specialty grocery and deli are literally around the corner. Scattered through East Hill are a number of parks, including, only minutes away, Bayview Park, Pensacola's favorite park located on Bayou Texar. There you can launch your boat, kayak, fish or enjoy any number of other aquatic activities. And just across the bayou and accessible by water is The Marina Oyster Barn, a restaurant known for its fresh local seafood.

Pensacola, with 450 years of history, offers residents and visitors alike an array of allures from its own opera, theatre, ballet and symphony to a picturesque downtown with art galleries, boutiques and a variety of restaurants. With numerous festivals from the Great Gulf Coast Arts Festival, the Pensacola Seafood Festival, a riotous Mardi Gras parade and the warm-weather tradition of Evenings in Old Seville, Pensacola brims with civic life and offers something for everyone. And of course Pensacola Beach with its "sugar white sands" and sparkling emerald waters is only ten minutes away.
