Known as the Orman Cottage, this historic Apalachicola home was originally built in 1850 for the son of Thomas Orman, one of the town's most influential early residents. The home was thoughtfully completed in two phases, with the original first level constructed in 1850 and the second story added in 1890. More than 175 years later, it remains a beautiful reflection of Apalachicola's rich history and enduring character. Filled with natural light, the home showcases original hard wood floors, walls, and ceilings that speak to its historic roots while creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. The primary living spaces are conveniently located on the main level, while three bedrooms a common area, and a full bath occupy the second floor. Two welcoming front porches, one on each level, offer the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee, visit with neighbors, or simply slow down and take in the charm of Old Florida. Situated on a rare double corner lot with highly desirable Residential-Commercial zoning, this property offers a desirable opportunity seldom found in Apalachicola. Mature landscaping surrounds the home, creating a private, secluded setting in the heart of town. A magnificent weeping oak serves as the centerpiece of the yard, adding beauty, shade, and a sense of timelessness to the property. A detached hobby room, currently used as a poker room, provides endless possibilities, while the workshop provides additional storage and workspace. Just a short stroll from Apalachicola's restaurants, shops, galleries, and waterfront, the Orman Cottage offers a rare combination of history, character, privacy, and location. Qualities that are becoming increasingly difficult to find along Florida's Forgotten Coast.
