OPEN HOUSE Saturday 09/14 and Sunday 09/15 from 2-4pm. Welcome to 5917 Duchess Rd, a large, 1950s charmer that has been painstakingly restored back to its original glory. Upon construction, this home served as the original builder's personal residence and was the crowning jewel of the neighborhood, set under a landscape of two large magnolia trees that bloom every winter. This home was designed with livability in mind and offers a very unique opportunity to have 3 out of the 4 bedrooms that can serve as a primary suite or mother-in-law suite as 3 bedrooms have attached baths. Further convenience is found in the laundry room/pantry just off the dining area. This home has been fully remodeled inside and out. All systems were replaced in 2024, including a full copper rewire, installation of new HVAC system and ducts and new water heater. All lighting, drywall, insulation, and floors are new along with the huge gourmet kitchen complete with Brazilian Superiore quartzite countertops with a waterfall edge on the island, beautiful commercial grade range hood, and mother of pearl backsplash that coordinates with a capiz shell chandelier in the dining area. Be the envy of your friend group with this quintessential party house complete with two dining spaces, two living areas, fully fenced backyard, large freshly-poured patio, and two long driveways. You'll notice a great blend of high-end modern luxuries as well as tasteful time-period accurate details such as the terazzo tiled walls and mosaic floor of the hallway bath, craftsman-style doors, and herringbone plank floor throughout. The original brick shines through in the interior of the home with a decorative German schmear finish on the fireplace and stairs in the bonus living room along with electric fireplace perfect for cozy, cold nights. This home has gas access but currently uses electric. Take advantage of the carefully curated charm and 3 master suites that this home offers, schedule your showing before it's gone!

Investor Alert! This centrally located home is nestled among beautiful mature Magnolia trees. As you approach the property, you'll be greeted by the shade of these magnificent trees and a red brick path that leads to the inviting front porch, perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning. Although the interior has been gutted due to lightning strike damage, the structural integrity of the house remains intact. This presents an excellent opportunity to reimagine and customize the floor plan to suit your needs. Stepping through the front door, you'll find yourself in the open living room and dining area that seamless flows into the kitchen, providing ample room for entertaining. Stepping down from the main living area brings you into the family room, where large windows bathe the room in natural light. The focal point of this room is the large fireplace, adding a touch of elegance and coziness. The all-brick construction of the family room offers endless potential for customization and personalization, allowing you to create a truly unique space. To the left of the living room, you'll discover the master bedroom and bathroom, generously sized and featuring a walk-in closet with ample storage space. Adjacent to the master suite, you'll find a large laundry room. This area could be configured for private access from the carport for an in-law suite or ADU. On the right side of the living room, a hallway leads you to a guest bathroom and three bedrooms. One of these bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom and could serve as a second master. This home has a 1 car garage that also offers a dedicated workspace for those who enjoy tinkering or pursuing creative projects. Because of the amount of space, you can explore the option of converting it into an ADU. Located about 10 minutes from downtown and 20 minutes from the beach (near Pensacola Christian College, and PSC). It is also centralized to the local hospitals. Don't miss out on this great investment opportunity.

MDR
Medium Density Residential District
The medium density residential (MDR) district establishes appropriate areas and land use regulations for residential uses at medium densities within suburban or urban areas.

Residential uses within the MDR district are limited to single-family and two-family dwellings. The district allows non-residential uses that are compatible with suburban and urban residential neighborhoods.
