Seaside's historic Forsythe House has just completed and extensive interior and exterior renovation (2025), and for the FIRST TIME EVER, now offers full access to its spectacular two-story sky deck! This remarkable property will be available on a limited basis for the rental season.
Designed by renowned architect and Seaside Prize recipient Walter Chatham, the historic Forsythe House integrates both modern and industrial elements, combined with unique artistic touches created by the original owners Bill and Mary Florence Forsythe as well as other local artists. The Forsythe House was the first townhome built in Ruskin Place, 'Artists Colony' – Seaside’s enclave of artists workshops, galleries and residences located immediately north of Seaside Central Square. This beautiful park is the site of frequent musical performances and art festivals, which can be enjoyed from your front porch!
Though the years, the Forsythe House has been featured in a variety of architectural publications and is sure to be a one-of-a-kind vacation for family and friends. Much like the shops of Ruskin Place, Forsythe House offers a little variety for everyone. Enjoy spectacular sunsets from the spacious rooftop terrace boasting one of the best vantage points in Seaside. Choose from the newly completed upper 5th floor Sky Deck with panoramic view of the Gulf from east to west, the lower roof deck with a covered sitting area and sunrise chairs to the east, or the western rooftop deck with a large dining table and chairs overlooking the beautiful gulf sunsets.
Ruskin Park is an outdoor extension of your downstairs living area, while the private outdoor courtyard to the back is a great spot for enjoying lunch and dinner. The chef in the family will enjoy preparing meals in the open two-story kitchen which includes a Garland gas stove, concrete countertops, Breville appliances, sous vide cooker, Big Green Egg BBQ grill, and even a paella pan for those who want to take advantage of the local seafood. After dinner enjoy the musical ambiance provided by the vinyl turntable and house collection of vintage jazz, blues and classic rock LPs. As the day winds down, ascend the open, floating staircases which seem to suspend from the walls to the upper floor bedrooms and roof decks.
Take advantage of this Seaside treasure while it remains available!
