143 4th St Apalachicola, FL 32320

This one-of-a-kind wooden houseboat was carefully moved onto land and expanded into a distinctive 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath home in Apalachicola's commercial district. One full bath is open-air, and a loft accessed by ladder offers additional flexible sleeping space. C-1 zoning unlocks exceptional versatility. Use it as a private residence, generate income through short-term rentals on Airbnb, VRBO, and other platforms, or explore collaborative commercial possibilities-art gallery space, consignment, workshops, retreats, or mixed-use concepts. Multiple areas on the property support expanded structure and development while remaining compatible with the surrounding historic tree city setting. The grounds have been thoughtfully groomed, with flora and fauna that evoke the feel of Key West-style cottages. This shabby-chic artisan home was built with the involvement of multiple commissioned artists, giving it authentic character and craftsmanship. A new storage shed with electrical service sits in the backyard off the alley, adding practical utility. Just two blocks from downtown, the location combines convenience with strong income potential. Endless possibilities exist here. Whether you envision a primary home, a high-demand rental, a creative collaborative space, or a combination of uses, C-1 zoning and this uniquely prepared property put the opportunity firmly in the buyer's hands.
