About this home
This luminous 1887 Victorian is a rare opportunity in Lake Helen’s historic corridor—restored with care, modernized for comfort, and wrapped in sunlight, character, and established gardens.
Inside, natural light pours through large east- and south-facing windows, accentuating tall ceilings and original architectural craftsmanship. Heart-of-pine floors flow across the first and second levels, complemented by pocket doors that transition from the dining room into a flexible living space—ideal as a music room, den, bedroom, or office. The front living area centers around a working fireplace, setting the tone for evenings of quiet comfort. Photos have been digitally altered to remove all personal property on site. Best efforts have been made to preserve the characteristics of the property, though some minor changes may be present as a result of digital alterations.
The kitchen delivers volume and drama with vaulted ceilings, exposed oak beams milled in Lake Helen, abundant cabinetry, and a door that opens to a breezy side porch. A bright rear mudroom/laundry anchors the everyday entrance from the garage, and both levels offer full bathrooms for convenience. Bedrooms are generously sized—notable for a home of this vintage—and the upstairs suite opens to its own private balcony.
A fully finished third floor expands the home’s usable square footage with heat, air, four windows of daylight, and a lofty vantage point where you can watch launches from Cape Canaveral.
Major system improvements include AC/heat upstairs installed December 2024, ductwork under the first floor (2023), a roof installed on the main structure in 2018, solar added within the last four years, and significant restoration in the early 2000s by the previous owner that included updated wiring, plumbing, and insulation.
Outdoors, the property becomes a private botanical playground. A pergola draped in mature purple wisteria anchors a peaceful garden full of producing citrus, loquat, guava, olive, apple, plum, camellias, cedar, live oak, flowering shrubs, and established hardscape. A well supplies drinking water and irrigation, complemented by a salt filtration system at the source, sprinklers, and thoughtful landscape lighting.
A Chicago-brick courtyard provides a secluded entertaining space beside the home, while a two-car garage offers storage and its own climate control.
Located within the protected corridor, exterior modifications follow city preservation standards—protecting the surrounding character that makes this pocket of Lake Helen so loved.
Timeless architecture. Meaningful renovations. Sun-filled rooms. Wraparound porches. Private gardens. This is the kind of historic Florida living that rarely comes to market—and even more rarely stays available....
