27 Barton Avenue, Rockledge, FL 32955
Overview
Description
Supplements: ... (Read more) Many of the large double hung windows retain their original glass, and the home's thoughtful layout includes inviting living areas and a cozy side porch just off the kitchen. A comprehensive restoration in 2017 brought updated plumbing and electrical systems, a renovated kitchen, two AC units, refinished floors, repaired and re-plastered walls and ceilings, reworked and reglazed windows, and hurricane shutters added to approximately 22 openings. Additional upgrades followed, including a tankless water heater (2020), full exterior prep, sealing, and repainting (2023), professional roof sealing (2023), and new KitchenAid wall oven and microwave (2024) along with a new cooktop (2025). These improvements complement the home's historic integrity while providing modern function and reliability. The property is enhanced by mature oaks, landscaped gardens, and a detached garage, all contributing to a sense of space that is uncommon in the district. Located just a few houses from the Indian River, the home benefits from gentle breezes and river views from the porch. Rockledge Drive's scenic riverfront sidewalks are nearby, and Cocoa Village with its riverfront park, boutiques, restaurants, and the Historic Cocoa Village Playhouse is only a short distance away. Blending architectural heritage, meaningful updates, and a rare double lot in a historic setting, 27 Barton Avenue offers an exceptional opportunity to steward a well-preserved piece of Rockledge history.

Remarks and Miscellaneous
- Public Remarks
- One of Rockledge's most recognized Victorian homes, this circa 1890 residence offers 2,824 SF of preserved character on a rare 0.4 acre double lot just a few houses from the Indian River. Barton Avenue adds to the setting with its historic, tree-lined Old Florida ambiance, where the daily chime of the nearby church bells contributes to the street's distinctive character. A large wraparound porch, professional landscaping, and the home's meticulous condition create an impressive introduction to this landmark property. Architectural details include gable ends with decorative trusswork, an arched gable window, and ornate balustrades that reflect early Rockledge craftsmanship. Inside, refinished Merritt Island pine floors, a keeping room off the renovated kitchen, and a versatile finished third floor offer a blend of charm and flexibility.
