About this home

Nestled beneath a canopy of majestic century-old oaks in Sanford's Residential Historic District, this beautifully restored 1910 bungalow offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the city's history. A charming herringbone brick pathway leads you home, where a historic-style street lamp and welcoming front porch create the perfect setting for the quintessential downtown Sanford lifestyle. Lovingly restored and meticulously maintained, the home was honored with the 2019 Sanford Historic Preservation Award, recognizing the exceptional care taken to preserve its original character while thoughtfully updating it for modern living. Inside, soaring 10-foot ceilings, original heart pine floors, restored double-hung windows, crown molding, and substantial 8-inch baseboards showcase the craftsmanship of an earlier era. Natural light fills the home, while the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas create a comfortable flow for both everyday living and entertaining. The beautifully renovated kitchen features quartzite countertops, soaring custom cabinetry, and KitchenAid stainless steel appliances, including a gas range. The spacious primary suite offers a thoughtfully designed bathroom with a custom dresser vanity, Kohler sink, walk-in shower with subway tile, marble shower flooring, and a thermostatic rain shower system. A charming wallpapered powder bath is conveniently located off the laundry room, which also provides flexible space for a home office, hobby area, or additional storage. Step outside to a private, fenced backyard with alley access, a storage shed, and sunny garden spaces. Thoughtful updates provide peace of mind, including updated electrical and plumbing systems (2017), a high-efficiency HVAC system with UV germicidal light (2017), tankless gas water heater, natural gas heat, Nest thermostat, water softener system, and a durable metal roof. The original windows have been carefully restored and remain fully operational. Located in Sanford's golf cart and bike-friendly historic district, you're just moments from the downtown waterfront, locally owned restaurants, breweries, galleries, boutiques, parks, and the year-round events that make Sanford one of Central Florida's most beloved communities. Come discover why so many people fall in love with Sanford's historic charm, walkable lifestyle, and strong sense of community. This sweet bungalow is ready to welcome its next chapter.
