Property Description

Now presenting Rothschild Manor, a timeless historic estate where architecture, gardens, and coastal proximity come together across two residences on two lushly landscaped lots, just a short walk from the Atlantic Ocean in Daytona Beach’s coveted Ocean Dunes neighborhood. Built in 1924 and reportedly owned by Titanic survivor Elizabeth Barrett Rothschild, this iconic property offers a rare blend of legacy, privacy, and refined coastal living. Beyond the arched front door, the main residence unfolds with enduring craftsmanship and quiet elegance. Original hardwood floors, coffered ceilings, crown molding, arched windows, and a wood-burning fireplace establish a sense of warmth and permanence, while sunlit living and dining spaces invite both intimate moments and gracious entertaining. The kitchen is a true reflection of the home’s soul—rich with texture, character, and authenticity. Exposed brick walls anchor the space, offering a dramatic yet inviting backdrop that feels both historic and collected over time. Natural light filters in, highlighting classic cabinetry and thoughtful details that balance form and function. This is a kitchen designed for connection: a place where conversations linger, recipes are passed down, and gatherings naturally gravitate, seamlessly tying the home’s historic charm to everyday livability. The baths continue the home’s timeless aesthetic with brick detailing, classic finishes, and a clawfoot soaking tub that nods to the property’s historic roots while delivering modern comfort. Four bedrooms and two and a half baths complete the main residence, each bedroom enhanced by enclosed sleeping porches that extend the living space and provide flexibility for guests, offices, or quiet retreats. A private drive leads to the rear motor courtyard, revealing the second residence—the original chauffeur’s apartment perched above the two-car garage. With a separate address, full kitchen, living and dining areas, bedroom, and bath, this private dwelling offers ideal accommodations for guests, multigenerational living, or income potential. The walled, garden-rich grounds are a defining feature of Rothschild Manor. A sunken garden, remnants of original rose gardens and fountains, a bocce ball court, covered carport, and multiple outdoor living areas—once including an outdoor wood-burning fireplace—create a serene, estate-like environment rarely found on the barrier island, all just moments from the shoreline. Offering over 4,100 square feet of total living space, six bedrooms, three and a half baths, and multiple living quarters, Rothschild Manor is being offered furnished and turn-key and is listed at its recent appraised value. This is a rare opportunity to own a legacy property steeped in history, wrapped in gardens, and positioned within a short stroll of the ocean, with convenient access to dining, shopping, and the best of coastal Daytona Beach.
