Mediterranean charm meets exceptional historic character in this beautifully preserved 1920s historic home nestled on a picturesque brick-lined street in the South Lake Morton Historic District! Situated on a prominent corner lot, this rare property offers views of Lake Hollingsworth from the welcoming front porch and includes a detached studio apartment above an oversized two-car garage. The main house features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 1,396 sq. ft. of living space.
