This one-of-a-kind residence is a historical centerpiece of Downtown Fernandina Beach. Known as ''The Crown Jewel'' of Centre Street and built in 1860, the Lesesne House is the oldest continuously inhabited home in the historic area and the last remaining residence on the street. With C3 zoning, allowable uses are residential, B&B, restaurant, store, office space, venue and more! The classical, or Greek Revival, style is evident in the columns and double-galleried porches. The formal dining rooms and parlors exhibit a collection of museum-caliber artwork and antique furnishings. The exterior features an expansive two-story porch adorned with eight flowing flags, while a two-century-old live oak tree serves as the centerpiece of the sunlit courtyards and manicured lawns. Recently used as an event venue, the home has an accessible ramp and commercial bathrooms. Ideal for a primary residence in the heart of the downtown with endless potential possibilities.
