Today, we can see why the one-of-a-kind residence is one of Fernandina Beach's most photographed homes. And it's currently on the market for just $750,000.This 2,220-square-foot home has so much more to offer than its claim to fame as the on-screen residence of everyone's favorite "freckle-faced redhaired girl."
