The unique footprint of this classic Victorian reminds us of another famous Florida home: The Captain’s House in Fernandina Beach which was featured in the 1987 movie The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking.

The same green from the front porch is used again to spiff up the staircase’s kickboards. This cheerful shade is used throughout the home.

Spacious Dining Room

A restored fireplace serves as an interesting focal point in the dining room. Next to it, a wall bump-out serves as the perfect spot for a floor plant while adding depth to the space.
