Property Description

Constructed using salvaged materials from the legendary Egmont Hotel that once occupied this very site, this remarkable residence is one of only three matching homes built along South 6th Street, preserving an important chapter of Fernandina Beach's rich past. This home sits less than two blocks from the boutiques, restaurants, and vibrant atmosphere of Centre Street. Inside, timeless craftsmanship is showcased throughout, highlighted by the home's stunning 360-degree exposed brick fireplace that serves as the centerpiece between the dining and family rooms. The thoughtfully updated kitchen blends classic charm with contemporary style, featuring quartz countertops and stainless steel KitchenAid appliances. The main level includes two generously sized bedrooms, each showcasing its own original exposed brick fireplace. An impressive extra-wide custom staircase leads to the second floor, where a spacious landing separates the third bedroom with its private en-suite bath from a versatile bonus space ideal as a home office, game room, studio, or climate-controlled storage. Outside the elevated sun deck overlooks the fully fenced backyard. An extensive restoration completed between 2017-2019 included all-new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, and Andersen 400 Series windows installed throughout. Additional improvements were made in 2025 that included refinishing the original heart pine floors, complete exterior repainting, a brand-new roof, and both chimneys professionally repaired, repointed, and waterproofed above the roofline. 126 S 6TH STREET, where authentic Fernandina Beach heritage has been carefully preserved while every major system has been thoughtfully modernized for today's lifestyle.
