Property Description
Located in the heart of East Hill, this thoughtfully updated cottage combines historic Pensacola character with modern updates and functionality. Positioned along one of East Hill's most recognizable streets, the home features a wide wraparound porch, refreshed landscaping, and classic curb appeal. Inside, light-filled living spaces showcase tall ceilings, updated flooring, and preserved architectural details. The living and dining areas flow naturally together, offering flexibility for entertaining, relaxing, or everyday living. The updated kitchen serves as a central gathering space with butcher-block countertops, modern cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, generous prep space, and a large center island designed for both functionality and style. Natural light enhances the home's bright and open feel throughout. The home offers two well-proportioned bedrooms, including a primary bedroom with a walk-in closet, a feature less commonly found in homes of this era. The updated bathroom includes contemporary finishes and tiled surround details that complement the home's historic character. System improvements include updated electrical wiring and plumbing enhancements, providing updated infrastructure while maintaining the integrity of the home's original design. One of the property's standout features is the wraparound driveway with rear access and multiple off-street parking spaces, a feature less commonly found in East Hill. The approximately 20' x 60' backyard provides functional outdoor space for entertaining, gardening, pets, or additional outdoor enjoyment. Conveniently located just minutes from downtown Pensacola, Bayview Park, dining, shopping, and neighborhood events, this move-in-ready East Hill property offers updated systems, flexible parking, and classic character in a central Pensacola location.
