Property Description

Welcome Home to 1413 Live Oak Street, New Smyrna Beach, a mid-century coastal masterpiece between US-1 and the river, golf-cart close to Canal Street and Flagler Avenue shopping boutiques and eateries, art walks, farmers market, and minutes to the beach. Originally the residence of famed photographer Jack Mitchell, the property retains his studio; now a detached poolside guest cottage with a full bath set behind lush private gardens and a screened sparkling 35'×20' saltwater pool with new pebbletec pool deck, new pump, and new saltwater generator. For peace of mind: the home is located in coveted Flood Zone X with no history of flooding. The sellers are offering a home warranty for added confidence. Just a short stroll brings you to Yacht Club Island and the river, perfect for walks, sunrises, or launching your coastal adventures.

Step into an inviting large family room with wood-burning fireplace, perfect for gatherings. The primary suite is on the main floor with cozy powder area and an elegant remodeled primary en suite bathroom. Upstairs offers two additional bedrooms and a guest bathroom with timeless wood floors and tile in the restroom. Plantation shutters run throughout both levels of the main home as well as the guest house, complemented by built-in baseboards that preserve the home's character and quality of construction. Tile and luxury vinyl plank flooring span the first floor, and a large laundry and storage room completes your checklist. The guest house/pool cottage is fully tiled with porcelain floors, a river-rock bathroom floor, and ADA-compliant features including the bathroom, entry, and sidewalk approach. It also includes a partial kitchenette, making it perfect for extended stays or multi-generational living. Dual A/C systems (recently serviced and tuned for prime comfort), plumbing updates, hurricane-impact windows, storm shutters on most windows, seamless leaf guard gutters, and a 100-year concrete tile roof deliver true turnkey confidence. Irrigation in the front, back, and landscaped beds, along with a pergola and multiple outdoor seating areas, create a hidden oasis that feels like a private resort. This property also offers potential for expanded rental income; a bed-and-breakfast license or shorter-term rental opportunities could be explored, giving the home flexible income possibilities. This property has been nominated to be featured on the 2026 Coalition Home Tour, a testament to its architectural significance and exquisite presentation. All this is the authentic historic-district character that new builds try to imitate, but can't duplicate, wrapped in impeccable, move-in-ready condition. Schedule a viewing today!
