Kilbourn-Fitch House | A Restored 1918 Southern Landmark in the Heart of Port St. Joe Located in the heart of Port St. Joe with sweeping views of St. Joseph Bay, the Kilbourn-Fitch House embodies the timeless elegance of a truly historic Southern home. Built in 1918 and named after its original owner—a prominent ice factory operator from Apalachicola—this landmark residence has been lovingly restored to its former splendor and beyond. The home sits on two highly visible commercial lots, offering exceptional flexibility for future use—whether as a private residence, gallery, boutique, or professional space. Step inside to discover heart pine floors and soaring 12-foot tongue-and-groove walls, showcasing the craftsmanship of the early 20th century. Every inch of the interior has been thoughtfully curated to reflect the charm of the 1900s, while incorporating the comforts and conveniences of modern living. A special highlight is the Art Room—a bright, tranquil space where the current owner finds daily inspiration for her acrylic paintings. Like the rest of the home, it radiates character, creativity, and history. The restoration process was a true labor of love. Nearly all the wood used in the renovation was sourced from Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida—most of it over 100 years old. The home has been completely rewired and re-plumbed, and the kitchen redesigned to be both stylish and functional, featuring Alabama White Marble and high-end modern finishes that harmonize beautifully with the home's vintage charm. For long-term structural integrity, the owners invested in 8" x 8" posts set six feet into the ground around the home’s perimeter, reinforced with rebar and concrete—a perfect blend of engineering and preservation. Outside, a wrap-around porch invites you to relax and enjoy glorious bay views. The spacious yard offers ample room for boat parking or even a future pool, and the property is just two blocks from the boat ramp—perfect for boating enthusiasts
