As a group occupying both units you can enjoy all the special moments the home has to offer like enjoying your complimentary morning coffee on the front porch swing and you just might catch a glimpse of the famous vintage style Jolley Trolleys on its route. Relax on the backyard porch swing taking in natural garden views while your group BBQ’s in the large yard. Need some space from your group? Grab a book from the magical bookcase in Hansel Haus and escape in a good read. Want to be in the mix? Take in the city from on the second story deck of Gretel Haus. Need some personal self-care? unwind after a long day in the sun with a soak in the antique claw foot tub.
This extremely cute, cozy duplex embodies whimsical charm and detail with two very special units within 400 square feet of the Gretel Upstairs unit and 600 square feet in the ground level unit Hansel Haus. Every travel group always has those early risers and afternoon risers, imagine being able to plan sleeping arrangements based on preference. The Hansel & Gretel Doppelhaus will give you the flexibility to separate your group and still have access to two full units. The Gretel upstairs unit has two Queen memory foam mattresses. The Hansel ground floor unit has 3 memory foam mattresses - 1 Queen, 1-Full and one trundle twin. Both units are filled with many preserved original features, but added modern amenities such as Wi-Fi & smart TV’s.
The historic space features unique vintage natural woodwork, warm and rich cypress paneling, pine floors, exposed brick, clawfoot tub, one-of-a-kind doors, multi-paned windows, antique doorknobs and showy historic fixtures that have been kept and maintained and are what makes this home so adorable.
The Hansel and Gretel Doppelhaus is set on a large wooded natural exotic lot with an oversized backyard with native grapefruit, mango & papaya trees. It’s a great escape nestled right in the mix close to Downtown with the famous Clearwater Beach just a 10 minute drive from the property.
This home's 102 year old artsy architecture is reminiscent of the German fairytale Hansel & Gretel. We found it fitting to name the Duplex Hansel & Gretel Doppelhaus (German for Duplex).
This home is bursting with charm and we hope you love and respect our beautiful place as much as we do!
Please treat it with care as it is over 100 years old and is part of Clearwater’s history!
