About This Home
Set above the shores of Crescent Lake, this historic residence, originally known as The Williams Home and later as the Mary-Edward Inn, offers a rare blend of legacy and livability. Built in the 1800s and once operated as a bed-and-breakfast, the property carries a presence shaped by generations drawn to the lake's quiet rhythm. Now configured with five bedrooms plus a dedicated office, the home has been thoughtfully updated with a renovated kitchen and modernized baths, balancing everyday comfort with the preservation of architectural character. Positioned high on a bluff overlooking a lake connected to the St. Johns River, the setting offers expansive sunrise vistas, freshwater views, private water access, and a distinctly unhurried Florida lifestyle. A property defined not just by its history, but by the experience it continues to offer.
