73 Scribner Ave Defuniak Springs, FL 32435

Beyond the iron gates lies a rare opportunity to own a historic estate just a short walk from Lake DeFuniak. Set on two fully irrigated and landscaped acres, this property blends historic character with modern amenities. At the heart of the estate is the historic Biddle House, built circa 1887 and proudly listed on the National Historic Registry. Restored in 1993 and expanded in the early 2000s, the original home serves as the centerpiece of a residence encompassing more than 3,000 sq ft with four bedrooms and three full baths. Hardwood floors and custom finishes complement multiple living spaces. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, a Jenn-Air Pro Style range with gas cooking and electric oven, pot filler, wine cooler, abundant countertop space, multiple prep areas and two separate sinks. A wall fountain creates a unique focal point in the dining area. The primary suite serves as a private retreat with a sauna, jetted tub, separate shower, dual vanities and custom built-in closets. Attached to the home is a two-car garage and climate-controlled flex space ideal for a gym, studio, or hobby space. A detached 768 sq ft guest house offers a spacious studio-style layout with a full bath and kitchenette, along with additional garage space and RV or boat storage below. A separate workshop provides further space for hobbies and projects. Modern conveniences include a metal roof, updated plumbing and electrical systems and a whole-home generator serving the main residence and guest house. Outdoor living is equally impressive with over 2,000 square feet of patio space, covered porches, outdoor fireplace and various gathering areas. The heated saltwater pool with automatic cover sits next to the pool house, complete with a full bath and outdoor kitchen, creating an ideal setting for entertaining. This is an opportunity to own a unique piece of DeFuniak Springs history with a combination of historic charm, privacy and modern amenities seldom found in one property.
