Four Roses is a rare coastal treasure, originally built in 1956 and lovingly held within the same family ever since. It blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates, creating a home that feels both nostalgic and effortlessly functional. In 2006, a local builder completed a remarkable transformation, elevating what was then the second floor to become today’s third level while preserving its rich cypress and juniper paneling. The home was rebuilt from the ground up, with entirely new ground and mid-levels, a new carport, and comprehensive updates to electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and insulation. The pool was also added during this time, with the hot tub recently replaced in 2025. The third floor continues to tell the home’s story, where original hardwood floors, shiplap accents, and a classic clawfoot tub in the master bath maintain its historic charm. In 2018, an ocean facing northeast bedroom and beautifully appointed bathroom with a tiled shower were added, along with a new roof. Designed for both comfort and gathering, the home features four ensuite bedrooms, an open concept living space, and a versatile ground level bonus room. An elevator services every level, including the carport, for ease and accessibility. Step outside to enjoy two levels of wraparound porches, offering sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Wright Brothers Monument to the west. Spend your days lounging by the private pool or unwind in the shade of the shared oceanfront gazebo perched atop the dune. Four Roses is truly one of a kind, a home where history, craftsmanship, and coastal living come together in a way that simply cannot be replicated.
