Step back in time with this historic gem, believed to have been built around 1912, nestled in the heart of Historic Bagdad—a federally and state-recognized historical area. Originally constructed by the Bagdad Lumber Mill, this home reflects the area's rich industrial and Civil War-era history. Situated under a canopy of moss draped oaks and close to where Pond Creek meets the pristine Blackwater River, this property is a nature lover's paradise. Mature oaks, river fauna, and lush vegetation provide a peaceful setting just a few blocks away from premier kayaking, fishing, and boating opportunities. Bagdad boasts a vibrant community, with three boat ramps, a Civil War-era cemetery, the Bagdad Mill Site Park, and the nearby Historical Society Museum are all within a few blocks. Also in close proximity to shopping in Milton, with Walmart, Publix, and more just minutes away. Pensacola's beaches, the airport, and downtown are all a short drive away. This home retains most of its original charm while offering some updates like the island kitchen with service bar to large great room, but it still offers a blank canvas for creative visionaries. You’ll love sitting on the large front and back covered porches while you make your renovation plans. With its durable construction, timeless aesthetic, and location in a neighborhood where large-scale development is restricted, this property promises enduring value and quiet charm. Opportunities like this are rare—don’t miss your chance to own a piece of Florida’s rich history while enjoying modern conveniences and natural beauty.
