House in Boca Grande, Florida 7 bedrooms, 362.5 sq.m. № 2119383

Property description

Offered for the first time since 1962, 260 Gilchrist Avenue presents a rare opportunity to acquire a true Boca Grande legacy estate, defined by provenance, architectural presence, and the enduring romance of Old Florida. Built in 1925 and thoughtfully stewarded for generations, this storied residence reflects a time when homes were crafted with intention, scale, and permanence. Sited on an exceptional 100' x 150' in-town parcel, the property is ideally positioned in downtown Boca Grande, just moments from the Village, beaches, dining, and boutiques, yet remarkably private, with a sense of prominence befitting its lineage. The home spans over 3,900 square feet under air, offering seven bedrooms and four bathrooms, with gracious proportions designed for multigenerational living and extended coastal stays. Vaulted ceilings lend volume and elegance, while two original fireplaces anchor the interiors with warmth and authenticity. Original wood floors remain intact, and the home’s cypress walls speak to the craftsmanship and character of an earlier era.
