This gorgeous circa 1908 5/3 home in historic Bagdad has so much to offer! Situated on almost an acre, it offers a separate guest cottage plus a sparkling inground pool & an oversized garage with tons of storage. A nostalgic picket fence borders the yard & large azaleas & old oaks draped with Spanish moss accentuate the huge 2-story residence known as the Sampley-Toifel House, named after early residents. The home has had many updates over the years, including a brand new roof, new exterior paint, large modern island kitchen, newer interior split HVAC system, upgraded circuit breakers, newer windows, dimmer switches, USB ports & more! The best parts are the beautiful historic details...the hardwood oak floors, walls & ceilings with heart pine & poplar, stained glass windows & doors, detailed fireplace, & clawfoot tub! Picture yourself resting on the huge front porch swing or relaxing in the sitting room/foyer reading a book or entering the beveled glass french doors into the living room to enjoy the fireplace. Then you can enter the kitchen with all new stainless appliances, granite counters, & lighted glass cabinets to prepare for a large family feast in the spacious dining room with the impressive room length built-in buffet. At the back of the 1st floor are the laundry room & expansive pantry along with an office area, updated bath & large bonus room/master bedroom with a cozy reading nook. Back in the foyer, the rich wood stairs wind past a stained glass window to the 2nd floor providing four additional bedrooms & 2 bathrooms with wood detailing plus access to the huge covered balcony from 2 of the bedrooms that overlook the expansive yard & other nearby historic houses. So many possibilities abound to house family or guests plus extra parking along 2 side streets. Connecting to I-10 is quick to go to the beach or Pensacola & boat/kayak ramps & parks along the Blackwater River are only 2 blocks away. Come see this treasure...it won't disappoint!
