61 Olive St., Brooksville, FL 34601

Own a piece of history in Historic Downtown Brooksville! This residential home was once the original location of St. Anthony the Abbot Catholic Church. It was built in 1908, renovated into a single family residence years later, and most recently has had many more updates.

When you enter through the front door the original Steeple Bell is high above your head, you can pull the rope and it will ring for all to hear! The Great Room boasts a 17 ft tall cathedral ceiling that opens up to the second floor loft, and creates more sleeping or entertaining space. It also offers a propane fireplace that keeps the entire house warm through our winter months. In addition, custom thermal blinds have been installed in all the windows that keep the warm summer temperatures out! It is hard not to stand in awe of the 4ft x 6ft stain-glass window in the front of the Great Room that depicts The Nativity Scene and as you do your feet will be standing on the ORIGINAL hardwood floors. This 2/1.5 has a dreamy master bathroom. It includes an authentic, cast iron ball foot tub, (with shower).

Another fascinating detail about this historic home is in the backyard a gate leads you to an "antique" cemetery (owned and maintained by the city). It is out of sight, behind a privacy fence with no right of way through the property. 

This charming house is located in Brooksville's Historic District. In fact, the late Governor Jennings' Estate is across the street. The location could not be better. The yard, which rests against the old Augusta brick street and is the perfect size so you can maintain it and have plenty of time to enjoy downtown shops, that are walking distance and all the Nature Coast has to offer.
