PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

One of the most beautiful and historic homes in Titusville is the Dykes-Winsted House. Actually, more than a home, this is a happy place. The construction of this Georgian Revival home dates back to 1905, and a selected combination of red cypress and heart pine wood was used to erect it. Can you just imagine if someone would have told the original builders that from the same grand and serene east river view porch designed to enjoy daybreaks, just some years after the construction, the "view" would now witness the constant space launches from our country aiming to explore the universe? Imagine. If a home had a memory and was able to speak, this home would reveal to us so many tales of the transformation of this town and the special times it shared. To think that literally right across from this home we sent a man to the moon! The transformation of these lands is now such an enormous opportunity for the new owner of this stunning, solid, and well-maintained home. Not only this home is a great fit for a family. But also, a home can be a special place for many others to visit to enjoy the multiple unique landmarks around. This dwelling is zone city-coded to support a bed and breakfast. Yet, again, without knowing it, the original designers and builders conformed this structure for such an ideal usage for today. The current owner has remodeled and renovated this beautiful home while maintaining its historic identity. Among the renovations: exterior hardboard siding and exterior painting; some interior walls were removed; wallpaper removed; ceilings and walls refinished; two of the air conditioners were replaced in 2018; all ductwork and A/C were replaced. recently cleaned and sanitized, a new pool pump, a new lattice around the front of the porch skirt, a new porch swing, and newly installed French doors to the pool area off the sun-room. The entrance of the home can be spectacular, with a friendly foyer illuminated with sunlight emanating almost from all sides, instilling the visitor with a relaxed, serene, and safe ambience. The home boasts three floors. At the very top, a superb master bedroom stands, occupying a floor of 660 square feet. The lower floor includes another large, second master bedroom, for those with difficulties walking upstairs. In addition to a living room with a stunning fireplace, a great library, an office area, and a graciously organized kitchen, there are so many opportunities. The ample kitchen and eating area have views of the magnificent and refreshing pool. There are three additional bedrooms on the second floor, as well as a studio that could be converted into another bedroom. Such a special place to watch rocket launches from your front porch; walk to downtown shops, parks, the marina, or the fishing bridge. Everything is just around the corner. All next to the historic district of downtown Titusville.
