A Masterpiece of Historic Pensacola! Experience the pinnacle of Pensacola history and architectural grandeur with a rare offering: The Dr. Walter C. Payne House. This magnificent 6,501 square foot, three-story Tudor Revival—specifically embodying 19th-Century English Arts and Crafts style—stands proudly on the highest elevation in Pensacola. Unrivaled History & Craftsmanship - Constructed in 1927, this home was built on the hallowed grounds of Fort San Bernardo, the site where the Spanish overtook British rule of northwest Florida in 1781. Dr. Payne commissioned this sprawling residence for his Scottish bride, employing skilled workmen from England to ensure the meticulous standards of the Arts and Crafts movement were met, focusing on superior materials and artisan craftsmanship. Architectural Distinction - This masterpiece features dramatic three-story gables, massive chimneys adorned with authentic clay chimney pots, and hand-hewn pegged timbers. The roof is covered in original composite tiles that mimic multi-colored slates, while the exterior showcases distinctive patterned brickwork nestled between exposed beams. An Urban Estate Curated to Perfection - Situated on 0.55 acres, undergoing a museum-quality restoration in 2001, the home retains its historic integrity while offering modern peace of mind. The refurbishment included forced air HVAC systems in addition to the original boiler in the cellar, modernized kitchen including granite countertops, and Arts and Crafts stencils. Interior Elegance - Featuring four bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms, the home is a testament to 1920s luxury. The bathrooms feature a vibrant mix of plumbing fixtures indicative of the era. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of Pensacola’s most important architectural treasures. Property is being offered for sale AS IS. Most furnishings are available for purchase by a separate transaction.
