About this property
Rocket & Nature Lovers! Vintage European Cottage in a lush Florida Setting
The best of ALL worlds...including outer space!
Vintage charm abounds in this roomy, 2-story mini-chateau. Set on 3 ac. of botanical, park-like grounds with a soothing tropical waterfall and a sky-high view of awesome rocket launches.
Updated but still definitely quirky (not a modern, granite countertop kitchen industrial-style loft) and really not a cookie-cutter cottage...it was the original house on the property before a NASA couple built the adjacent main house. An eclectic mix of boho + collected antiques gives all the warm fuzzies...and a vintage clawfoot tub keeps you soaking in them.
There are 2 bedrooms with beds in each + a full-sized mattress & air mattress that can be used for additional sleepers. There’s a bathroom on each level and washer & dryer upstairs.
It's a WOW! from the driveway and whether you're soaking in the sunshine streaming through the French doors that open to the Juliette balcony or chilling around a little fire in the fire pit, many memories will be yours for the collecting.
