Description

Step into a rare piece of Florida history with this iconic late-1800s riverfront estate in historic Rockledge, one of the earliest homes built during the founding and development of the city itself. Originally known as ''Oak Ledge Cottage'' and once regarded as one of the most impressive residences within the famed Rockledge resort community, this remarkable property reflects the elegance and craftsmanship of a bygone era when businessmen, travelers, and developers arrived by steamboat to establish Florida's early tourism and citrus industries along the Indian River. Set on 1.14 lush acres shaded by mature oaks and swaying palms, the property captures the spirit of old Florida living with peaceful wraparound porches, coastal breezes, and glimpses into a lifestyle long since faded from the modern world. Built in classic Florida vernacular style with intricate gingerbread detailing, steep-pitched gabled copper metal roof, pine construction, original hardwood floors & ( See more...) double-hung wood sash windows this home stands as a significant example of turn-of-the-century coastal architecture designed to endure Florida's demanding climate. Inside, the residence showcases extraordinary period craftsmanship including original wood detailing throughout as seen in the staircases, baseboards and hardwood floors. This home features a formal dining room, music room and formal living room on the first floor, 6 bedrooms and 2 baths combined on the second and third floors and unfinished spaces in the third-floor attic and basement awaiting restoration and vision. Even with only six owners throughout its storied history, it has served many purposes over the decades--including a winter retreat, rooming house, office space, and a cherished full-time private residence. Beyond the main home, the grounds include a detached shed, children's playhouse, and a second building with two apartments, offering additional possibilities for guest accommodations, creative spaces, or income-producing use. The property also once featured concrete harbor wharves and a boathouse along the Indian River waterfront, further tying it to Rockledge's rich maritime heritage. This is more than a home--it is a preservation opportunity for a visionary steward who values history, architecture, and craftsmanship. With thoughtful restoration honoring its original character, this extraordinary estate offers the chance to revive one of Brevard County's treasured historic residences and become part of its continuing story for generations to come.
