Why hasn't Florida's historic Kellogg Mansion sold after 7 years—is it the decor?

| 7/13/2020

It’s all about location, location, location, when you’re selling a house. Except when it isn’t.

A historic home from the roaring 1920s sits on an acre of waterfront land on the Gulf’s Intracoastal Waterway in Dunedin, Fla. The location ticks all the boxes, but this home has been in search of a buyer since 2013. Seven years later, it’s still available for $4.6 million.

“Ever since I can remember, it has been on and off the market,” says Peggy Mateer, an agent who specializes in the luxury real estate market in Pinellas County, which includes Dunedin and other Florida cities, like Clearwater and St. Petersburg.

Known as the Kellogg Mansion, the vintage residence was built in 1925, in the coveted Dunedin Isles neighborhood. It has five bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, and 7,667 square feet of living space, with 295 feet of waterfront frontage.

Outside, the house has the classic Florida look: pink stucco with white accents, a tile roof, manicured grounds, and a boat dock. But that’s where the classic look ends.
