The story
Step into a rare piece of Sanford history with this beautifully restored 1924 residence located in the heart of Sanford's Historic District. Combining timeless architectural character with extensive modern upgrades, this exceptional property offers the best of both worlds. From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the fresh exterior transformation featuring over $24,000 invested in brand-new premium vinyl siding with an upgraded deluxe color package, Tyvek moisture barrier, and exterior enhancements completed in 2026. The entire exterior has been freshly painted and is surrounded by lush, professionally maintained landscaping with an irrigation system. Inside, original hardwood floors have been beautifully refinished throughout the living areas, while updated tile flooring enhances the wet areas. The fully renovated kitchen is truly a showpiece, featuring premium Fulgor Milano appliances renowned for their Italian craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology. Enjoy a propane gas range with vent hood, built-in wine refrigerator, espresso machine, White Bay cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a designer tile backsplash. The home offers four spacious bedrooms and three updated bathrooms featuring seamless glass showers, upgraded fixtures, and elegant tile work. A separate exterior entrance leads to a glass-enclosed sunroom, creating the perfect space for a home office, professional workspace, or client meeting area without entering the main residence. Additional improvements include new double-pane Low-E windows that fold inward for easy cleaning, a commercial-grade HVAC system, added insulation, upgraded lighting and ceiling fans, knockdown ceilings, and a roof replaced in 2013. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a charming covered front porch featuring wood ceilings and a spacious rear deck with accent lighting, ideal for entertaining family and friends. The fenced backyard provides privacy and security for pets and children while offering plenty of room to enjoy the Florida lifestyle. One of the property's most unique features is the massive 30' x 24' detached garage with room for up to four vehicles, abundant storage space, and potential for future conversion into a guest house, workshop, or mother-in-law suite. Located less than two miles from vibrant Downtown Sanford, you'll enjoy easy access to award-winning restaurants, craft breweries, boutiques, waterfront parks, festivals, and entertainment. The neighborhood offers a charming Winter Park-style atmosphere with the added convenience of a new Costco coming soon.
