Historic Details You Simply Can't Recreate

Thistle Dew isn't designed to look historic—it is historic. Dating to 1900, the residence retains a sense of craftsmanship and architectural character that distinguishes it from conventional modern construction.

Inside, 11- to 12-foot ceilings, detailed millwork, and distinctive architectural elements contribute to the home's unmistakable personality. Its generous proportions and inviting rooms reflect its original era while providing more than 3,300 square feet for contemporary living.

The home's relocation in 1980 adds another fascinating chapter to its story, preserving the residence while giving it an entirely different setting surrounded by 12 acres of North Florida countryside.

Main-Level Living with a Remodeled Primary Suite

Two of the home's four bedrooms are conveniently located downstairs, including the primary bedroom. This arrangement provides additional flexibility for buyers who prefer having significant bedroom space on the main level.

The primary suite blends the home's historic appeal with an important modern improvement: its en-suite bathroom has been completely remodeled.

With two additional bedrooms upstairs, the layout provides options for family, guests, hobbies, or other flexible uses while maintaining separation between the home's sleeping areas.

12 Acres Made for Slower Mornings & Peaceful Evenings

The setting is every bit as distinctive as the home itself. Twelve acres surround the residence, providing privacy, tranquility, and room to enjoy country living.

Large, welcoming porches extend the living experience outdoors and provide natural places to sit, relax, entertain, or simply take in the surrounding property. It's an appropriate setting for a home whose history stretches back more than a century.

Barn, Workshop & Boat Storage

The acreage is complemented by substantial additional structures. A large barn with an enclosed workshop provides dedicated space for projects, equipment, hobbies, and storage.

A separate boat barn expands the property's storage capabilities even further, giving buyers valuable space beyond the main residence.

For anyone who needs room to work, create, store equipment, or pursue outdoor interests, these structures add another dimension to the versatility of Thistle Dew.

Thoughtful Improvements Beneath the Historic Charm

The property has also received improvements intended to support the home's long-term care. The crawl space has been professionally encapsulated and equipped with a dehumidifier, providing additional moisture control and protection.

Combined with the remodeled primary bathroom, these improvements demonstrate how modern functionality has been incorporated while preserving the architectural qualities that make the home unique.

Country Privacy Without Being Too Far Away

Despite its peaceful 12-acre setting, the property remains conveniently connected. I-10 is approximately 5-6 minutes away, providing straightforward access toward Tallahassee and surrounding areas.

Downtown Quincy is approximately 15 minutes away, allowing owners to enjoy the privacy and serenity of country life without completely giving up access to town.
