This is a really amazing property! One of the most desirable neighborhoods in Ormond Beach. It's got so many features that speak to quality and thoughtful upgrades. The attention to maintenance and the recent improvements, like the new roof, re screened pool enclosure, and updated AC units, upgraded windows and doors, give it a very modern and well-maintained feel. Plus, those little touches like the skylights, Coquina Fireplace, and wood cabinets are such nice features. The fact that it's set up for a boat or RV with the vinyl fencing and double doors is definitely a bonus. Equipped with the hookup to charge your car or RV. I also like that they've thought of practical things like the attic fan with solar backup and the separate water heaters in the bathrooms. There's a lot of space and functionality built into this home! Located a short distance to Tomoka State Park and the scenic loop, or the beach in the other direction. Many fabulous restaurants are within a short distance. In 1903, the smooth, hard-packed sands of Ormond Beach became a proving ground for automobile inventors and drivers. These first speed tournaments in the US earned Ormond the title "Birthplace of Speed." Ormond Beach's rich and diverse history reaches back several centuries. The area was populated by Native Americans and developed by sugar cane planters, ship builders, hoteliers and railroad magnates. It was the vacation home of millionaires and automobile manufacturers in the early 20th century. With the building of the rail line to Ormond in 1886 and the first bridge over the Halifax River in 1887, tourism and residential activities began to flourish. John Anderson and Joseph Price, builders of that first bridge, fulfilled their dream to build a hotel on the beachside. In 1888, the Hotel Ormond opened with 75 rooms. In 1890, railroad magnate Henry Flagler bought the hotel, expanded it, and in 1904 added a railroad bridge across the river to bring guests to the hotel. Anderson and Price continued to manage the hotel during the Flagler era until their deaths in 1911. John D. Rockefeller spent several winters in the hotel until he purchased the Casements across the street in 1918. Rockefeller spent his winters at the Casements until his death in 1937 at age 97. The hotel was demolished in 1992. Known as the "Birthplace of Speed," Ormond Beach is the site of the first timed automobile race on its hard-packed sandy beach in 1903. Ormond Scenic Loop & Trail (OSLT) is a 30+ mile double loop of roadways traversing some of the most beautiful and diverse natural scenery remaining in all of northeast Florida. There is ready access to the Atlantic Ocean, North Peninsula, Tomoka and Bulow Creek State Parks as well as numerous city and county parks. The roadway view includes unobstructed vistas of two rivers, creeks and marshes, barrier island dunes and beach, and historic dwellings.
