If you take a stroll down South Brooksville Avenue, the most photographed street in Brooksville, you will immediately notice you have stepped back in time during the Colonial Revival Era of the Old South, where it is lined with a Canopy of Majestic Oak Trees on a beautiful Augusta-Brick Street. The Colonial Revival Style during the early portion of the twentieth century reflected a design that was carefully researched in order to incorporate correct proportions and details. This style of architecture became popular during the early 1900s with the rebirth of America’s interest in English and Dutch houses along the Atlantic Seaboard. Colonial Revival Style Architecture found within the Brooksville Avenue Historic District includes this two-story, brick Whitehurst Residence, located at 321 South Brooksville Avenue, where construction began in 1909 and completed in 1910. When you walk up to this house you will be treated to its grandeur, with a two-story porch with decorative Wrought Iron Grape Design Railing and Porch Supports on both the first and second stories. It’s said that in the early 1930’s the Whitehurst family spent sometime in New Orleans and when they came back an inspired Mrs. Whitehurst made the decision to change the front facade of the home. Hence, the New Orleans style wrought iron on both balcony’s. The home has been Restored to its former Glory where upon entry you will find Original Wood Floors, Original Trim, Moldings and Built-Ins throughout the Home, Original hardware (on all doors), Original functioning pocket doors entering the Main Rooms, Original Fireplaces with Wood Inlay in the Parlor Room, Original Staircase with a beautiful Ornate Newel Post at the bottom , Original Windows with functioning Pulley System, and Original 1930’s Bathrooms. Downstairs you have the Formal Entertaining and Parlor Rooms that are perfect for large get-togethers while feeling cozy enough to enjoy one of two fireplaces curled up with a good book. The Formal Dining Room has a double French door entry to the outside covered back porch, and also leads to your fully updated kitchen where functionality meets style! There are two Maters Suites to this home, one downstairs and one up with full ensuites and walk-in closets. While the downstairs Master Suite has access to the covered back porch, the Upstairs Master’s Quarters has a walk in Lounge Room with built-in books shelfs, and access to the front Balcony overlooking the Oak Lined Brick Street that’s perfect for enjoying the serene beauty of Historic Downtown Brooksville. While upstairs, there are 3 additional guest suites of this 5 bedroom home, with a Window Lined Florida Room overlooking the 2 Acre Grounds of your Estate where you will find a Secret Garden entrance to the Very Rare Acreage right in the middle of the City! From your Front Porch, its a short walk to all of what Downtown Brooksville has to offer, with its many Restaurants, Boutiques, Festivals, Pop-up Markets, Live Entertainment, Parades, and the much anticipated Annual Christmas Tree Lighting that takes place on the Court House Steps! Don’t miss your opportunity to own a piece of Old Florida History in the heart of Historic Downtown Brooksville!
