The Doldrums- a historical spanish-style beach home in Ormond Beach

Escape the hustle and bustle of every day life in this historic beach front home.  Built in 1925, by George Albert Zabriskie, this beautiful home was often the party location for several of Zabriskie's friends, including the Rockefellers!
The estate sits on an expansive stretch of land, in the non-driving zone of the World's Most Famous Beach, making it virtually your own private beach. 
The Doldrums is approximately 3600sq. ft., has a pool, decorative fountains, authentic Spanish tiles and design, a beautiful courtyard to welcome you and the property is enclosed by wrought iron gates.  On the back lawn there is a large tiki hut that is perfect for using the fire pit, reading a book, watching the dolphins go by, counting the pelicans as they fly overhead, or simply relaxing and being at peace.

The 2 story home has 3 bedrooms with king size beds and a day-bed room next to the old wine cellar, so you can sleep 7 comfortably.  The couch is large if you have the need for that as well.  There are 2.5 bathrooms, a large great room with a beautiful mural done by local artist, Denman Fink, 2 grand dining tables in front of picture windows, a billiards room, a butler room, a fully equipped kitchen, a laundry room with an ample supply of sheets and towels, and a garden around the side. 
The pool area has high walls surrounding it, ornate spanish tiles, new patio furniture,  a beautiful fountain that runs into the pool, and a covered lanai to keep out of the sun. 
There is central heat and a/c and basic cable TV throughout the home.
