When Mr. Roser originally listed this home he described it as, "With winding steps leading up from the drive...beautiful homes sit on the very banks of babbling Booker Creek... It's wonderfully beautiful semi-tropical scenery with its countless flowers, plants, and shrubs transformed into nature's garden." See sign posted in park across street proclaiming her "House Beautiful". She has just survived 2 hurricanes & countless events in past 115 years. Majestic she stands. This is for that one special buyer(s) who appreciates all she offers. Be the one to finish returning this Grand home to it's original splendor. Come and be her caretaker. Be part of history. A very special part.
