The story

Exceptional opportunity to own a home with 3 units - live in one and rent the other 2 units for income. There are 2 units on the main level featuring 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. On the upper level there is a renovated efficiency unit featuring a private rear entrance. This property has substantial upgrades to electric and plumbing. Each unit has a separate electric meter. Enjoy the “Old Florida” charm of Arcadia. Located about an hour east of Sarasota, this historic "cowboy town" in DeSoto County is known for cattle ranching, it also has a massive antique district and abounds with 19th century architecture. While visiting Downtown Arcadia you will discover 58 blocks of historic 19th and early 20th century brick buildings, quaint antique shops, small cafes, and tea rooms, while it still offers great shopping opportunities at local the Publix, Walmart and Bealls. On the 4th Saturday of every month, downtown hosts a large antique fair drawing collectors from near and far. Annual attractions include the All-Florida Championship Rodeo held in March and the Watermelon Festival in March. The Peace River runs right past Arcadia and offers an exceptional destination for outdoor enthusiasts. There are blackwater streams, massive moss-draped cypress trees, and rich geological history and is most famous for its premier wilderness paddling, distinct fossil hunting opportunities, and extensive riverside camping. If you also enjoy the beautiful Gulf beaches, Manasota Key is just a little over an hour's drive. This location truly has all the good life has to offer.
