About This Property
Description from listing agentStep into a rare piece of Florida history with this iconic late-1800s riverfront estate in historic Rockledge, one of the earliest homes built during the founding and development of the city itself. Originally known as ''Oak Ledge Cottage'' and once regarded as one of the most impressive residences within the famed Rockledge resort community, this remarkable property reflects the elegance and craftsmanship of a bygone era when businessmen, travelers, and developers arrived by steamboat to establish Florida's early tourism and citrus industries along the Indian River. Set on 1.14 lush acres shaded by mature oaks and swaying palms, the property captures the spirit of old Florida living with peaceful wraparound porches, coastal breezes, and glimpses into a lifestyle long since faded from the modern world.

How we match comps
Comps are pulled directly from the Space Coast MLS — sold sales only, closed within the last 180 days. We apply hyper-local matching criteria in this order:
- ✓Same property type, always (single family, condo, townhouse, etc.)
- ✓Single-story homes compared only to single-story (and multi to multi)
- ✓Exact bedroom count
- ✓Bathrooms within ±0.5
- ✓Garage spaces within ±1
- ✓Pool status must match
- ✓Waterfront status must match
- ✓HOA must match (HOA community vs. no HOA)
- ✓Price within ±5–20% of list price (tightest in early tiers)
- ✓Square footage within ±10–25% (tighter in early tiers)
- ✓Year built always within ±5–20 years (never dropped)
We search in tiers, expanding the radius only as needed — starting in the same subdivision within 1 mile, then 2 miles, then the same neighborhood within 3 miles, and the same zip code within 5 miles as a last resort. For luxury homes ($5M+), where nearby comps are scarce, we widen the search to 5–20 miles. Year built is always required so comps are from the same era of construction. The median is weighted toward nearer sales, and sales within the last 90 days count 2× to reflect current market conditions.
Median estimate is based on similar active listings and homes that have sold within the last 180 days in this area, as reported through Brevard MLS. This is not an appraisal or a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). Before making an offer, work with a licensed real estate agent to obtain a CMA, or hire a certified real estate appraiser for an independent valuation.
