About this home
Offered for the first time since 1962, 260 Gilchrist Avenue presents a rare opportunity to acquire a true Boca Grande legacy estate, defined by provenance, architectural presence, and the enduring romance of Old Florida. Built in 1925 and thoughtfully stewarded for generations, this storied residence reflects a time when homes were crafted with intention, scale, and permanence. Sited on an exceptional 100' x 150' in-town parcel, the property is ideally positioned in downtown Boca Grande, just moments from the Village, beaches, dining, and boutiques, yet remarkably private, with a sense of prominence befitting its lineage. The home spans over 3,900 square feet under air, offering seven bedrooms and four bathrooms, with gracious proportions designed for multigenerational living and extended coastal stays. Vaulted ceilings lend volume and elegance, while two original fireplaces anchor the interiors with warmth and authenticity. Original wood floors remain intact, and the home’s cypress walls speak to the craftsmanship and character of an earlier era. A newly completed kitchen introduces a refined modern counterpoint, thoughtfully executed to meet today’s standards for daily living and entertaining while remaining respectful of the home’s historic architectural character. Recent improvements include new HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems, delivering modern reliability while preserving the home’s timeless soul. A driveway permit is already in place, and the estate is accompanied by a current certified survey. A dedicated local historic specialist has also been engaged to outline the full architectural potential of this exceptional property. Rarely does a Gilchrist Avenue residence of this scale, significance, and authenticity come to market. 260 Gilchrist Avenue is a once-in-a-generation offering rich in history, exceptional in presence, and ideally positioned for thoughtful restoration or inspired reimagination. A true Boca Grande heritage estate, ready for its next distinguished chapter.
