Description

Step into a piece of history with this 1901 Queen Anne Victorian beauty. Spanning nearly 4,000 square feet, this five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath residence is significantly larger than comparable historic homes in the area. Originally built as a grand residence and later serving as a charming bed and breakfast, the home features a gorgeous carved wood front door, original hardwood floors on the first and second levels, and charming angled ceilings on the third floor. The main level greets you with refreshing light blue walls in the living and dining areas, complemented by decorative fireplaces. The updated kitchen boasts creamy earth-tone finishes, a wooden range hood, a butler’s pantry, a walk-in pantry, and a dedicated storage room. Outside, you can enjoy breezy evenings on the beautiful front porch with original Victorian woodwork or relax on the second-story deck. Located in the heart of Sanford’s Residential Historic District, this fully fenced, zero-lot-line property offers the quintessential Sanford lifestyle. It is a golf-cart-friendly community a close distance to three parks, the Lake Monroe Riverwalk, local craft breweries, and the vibrant Saturday Farmers Market. From the boutiques and the Wayne Densch Performing Arts Center to the lively 'Alive After 5' street parties, this home provides a front-row seat to the best of historic Sanford. With thoughtful restoration, this historic gem has tremendous potential to shine.
