Originally constructed during DeFuniak Springs' founding era and once home to renowned University of Kentucky professor Robert McKnight, this one-of-a-kind residence has been meticulously reimagined with no expense spared. Spanning over 4,625 square feet of cooled living space across three beautifully finished levels, the main home features 5 bedrooms plus a large bonus room, 3.5 bathrooms, and is already plumbed for an additional full bath and half bath on the third floor. Interior upgrades include premium wood flooring, soundproof wool insulation, state-of-the-art kitchen appliances with gas range and hood, 2 laundry rooms, and a high-end Menco fireplace with dual remotes, all framed with 2x6" construction for added strength, insulation, and soundproofingeven between interior rooms and ceilings. Enjoy outdoor living like never before with over 1,250 square feet of covered porches plus a 450 sq ft rooftop deck perfect for sunset viewing or future conversion into a rail-protected entertainment space. And for true Florida relaxation, take a dip in the custom guitar-shaped gunite pool, a nod to DeFuniak Springs' growing reputation as a North Florida music hub. This themed pool is both a showpiece and a private retreat, ideal for entertaining or unwinding under the stars. Every exterior door and window is top-of-the-line in quality, security, and soundproofing, and the NASA-donated roof insulation paired with a whole-home dehumidifier ensures year-round comfort and energy efficiency. The fully restored Carriage House, approximately 600 sq ft across two levels (uncooled but newly wired and lit), features a new concrete foundation, roof deck, and high-heat peel-and-seal metal roofing. It's primed for additional finished space, studio, or guest retreat potential. Safety and technology enhancements abound with five security cameras with lights and alarms, wall humidity sensors, a sprinkler system across all levels (currently dry for safety), and speaker wiring throughout. Additional highlights include premium kitchen cabinetry, built-ins, tankless water heater, Bidet-style commode, period-correct black gutters and downspouts, and a landscaped, fenced backyard with security gates and keyed access. Located just steps from Baldwin Avenue's vibrant arts and music scenehelped brought to life by this home's former ownerand close to Circle Lake, this iconic property is more than just a home; it's a landmark of craftsmanship, love, and legacy. Don't miss the view of one of two almost perfectly circular spring fed lakes in the world! Whether you're seeking a historic homestead, a show-stopping vacation rental, or an inspiring creative retreat, this property delivers unmatched quality, history, and soul.
