About this property

HEART OF DOWNTOWN Palafox Place Sleeps 6, Perfect for small events

This classic building in the very heart of historic downtown was built in 1885 and was once home to a family owned music store with a dance hall upstairs. If the exposed brick walls, wood floors, and high ceilings could talk, oh what stories they would tell.

Four french doors lead onto the 40 ft. balcony overlooking PALAFOX Street, Pensacola‘s most famous street so named for 19th century General Jose de Palafox of Spain.

Walk out the front entrance and you’re on Palafox Place, the very heart of downtown’s vibrant entertainment, shopping & dining district.

Walk to over 40 restaurants from your doorstep. Here are just a few that you can walk to in just 5 minutes: World-class dining at Jackson’s, Global Grill, The District, Iron, Carmen’s, & Angelena’s. For a more casual fare try the Wine Bar on Palafox, Jaco’s, Urban Swinery, Seville Quarter, Graffiti Pizza, Taco Agave, O’Riley’s Irish Pub, Kohn’s Sushi, Union Public House, Dog House Deli & much more. For breakfast try Parlor Doughnuts, Dog House Deli, Fosko Coffee Bar, Blue Jay Bakery, Bodacious or the Ruby Slipper. Your sweet tooth can be satisfied by just walking downstairs to PeterBrooke Chocolatier located on the first floor of your building.

Attend a symphony concert, opera performance, or kick up your heels at one of the numerous entertainment venues. This apartment is located right next door to the iconic Saenger Theatre, a performing arts theater built in 1925 & known as the Grand Dame of Palafox.

Walk to the Pensacola Little Theater, T. T. Wentworth Museum, and art & music festivals. Is baseball your game? This gorgeous apartment is just a 12 minute walk to Community Maritime Park where you can watch Blue Wahoos, the AA affiliate of the Miami Marlins.
