Pensacola's beloved Magnolia Manor is officially FOR SALE!
Now is your opportunity to own this stately Southern Colonial, on a lush 1.6 acre estate, DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM MACKY BAY and the waters of Escambia Bay. DID I MENTION THIS HOME HAS SECRETS? #KeepReading
The owners transformed, restored and redesigned the estate... which now includes 5 bedrooms (3 MASTER SUITES), 4 ½ bathrooms, ROMAN-STYLE GUNITE SALTWATER POOL with tumbled travertine entertainment space, MASSIVE POWERED WORKSHOP (with water), SEPARATE STUDIO APARTMENT (with additional bathroom), new landscaping/drainage infrastructure, NEW ROOF/HVAC SYSTEM/WATER HEATER/ELECTRICAL, $30,000 worth of private paved roads/parking space, designated well installation for workshop, WHOLE HOUSE GENERATOR servicing home/workshop/swimming pool... and that's the short list.
Welcome to Magnolia Manor!
Situated on highly sought-after Scenic Highway, the home commands attention with its stately circular drive and dramatic columned design. The herringbone bricked walkway features authentic Chicago brick; maker's mark included.
Astute buyers will also notice subtle Grecian influences woven into the architecture, and fleur-de-lis embellishments... a nod to previous owners New Orleans roots.
Step inside to elevated ceilings, refurbished hardwood floors, ornate custom millwork, substantial moldings and trim, and specialty architectural details; including a stunning hand-carved, cherry-stained fireplace mantel
(Continued) with whimsical tile inlay (Formal Living Room). The Formal Dining Room is spacious with more cherry-stained millwork and wall sconces to illuminate artistic treasures.
Magnolia Manor blends formal and informal design well, while also maintaining a few hidden secrets. There's a hidden room beneath the staircase (Secret #1) that owners planned to convert into a safe room, and a hidden tunnel behind the fireplace (Secret #2). Sellers say tunnel leads to the attic.
The kitchen features warm cherry-stained custom cabinetry with expansive solid surface beveled island, stainless steel appliances (including gas stove), newly designed wall pantry (with built-in wine storage), arched roman windows with palladian-style features, custom breakfast nook with window seating/storage.. and adjoining informal dining area that could easily accommodate kitchen expansion.
The Family Room offers 180-degree views through dramatic arched Roman Palladian-style windows, 5 rustic beams, beautiful millwork, built-in cabinetry, brick fireplace and secret #2 (previously mentioned). Hint: Open cabinet door to find tunnel entrance.
Two sprawling master suites are conveniently located on the first floor, each offering walk-in closet, jacuzzi tub, custom tiled shower and an array of impressive features. See photo lineup.
The laundry room boasts custom doors adorned with decorative metallic inserts, while the powder room shines with mirrored subway-tile walls and a freestanding marble vanity. Be on the lookout for an original stained-glass window, visible somewhere between these two rooms (Secret #3).
Ascend the newly refurbished staircase and make your way to one of my favorite rooms in the home-- Primary Suite #3 -- specifically the walk-in closet. More akin to a private dressing room than closet space, buyers will appreciate extensive built-in cabinetry, custom organization, designated granite vanity, jewelry drawers, dedicated shoe wall, window seating, plantation shutters and whimsical chandelier.
The primary suite also includes hardwood flooring, crown molding, and spacious bathroom that offers the buyer a 3rd jacuzzi tub, 3rd walk-in shower... and untapped equity!
Bedrooms 4 and 5 are equally spacious with serene views, hardwood floors and adjoining guest bath.
Now let's explore the exterior.
Tumbled travertine leads you to the massive Roman-style saltwater pool area (8 feet deep)... and newly paved roads lead you to various gardens (including a secret garden left in natural state/behind the rear gate), multiple outdoor buildings and the powered workshop/studio apartment.
The current owners are local artisans and the detached powered workshop is their creative space devoted to crafting, woodworking and design. They recently added a 2nd story art studio (with additional half bath), equipped with water for future kitchenette. Endless possibilities for savvy buyers and investors.
My description could continue, but some homes are best experienced in person.. and this legacy estate deserves your tour.
Are you ready to experience Magnolia Manor? Better hurry... because this Pensacola treasure is priced to move!
