About this home
CHARACTER, CHARM, HISTORY & OPPORTUNITY in the HEART OF SANFORD! Step back in time and fall in love with this 1932 CHARMER that perfectly blends HISTORIC CHARACTER with thoughtful MODERN UPDATES. This three-bedroom, two-bathroom home sits proudly on an OVERSIZED LOT and offers not only WARMTH and CHARM but also rare flexibility with MIXED-USE ZONING and future DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL. As you enter, you’re welcomed by a LIGHT-FILLED ENTRYWAY that can serve as a sunroom, drop zone, or cozy sitting nook—the perfect spot for your morning coffee. To the left, a charming door opens into a quiet OFFICE SPACE, ideal for working from home or curling up with a book. From there, step down into your spacious family room, anchored by a WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE and filled with possibilities for entertaining, relaxing, or gathering with loved ones. Just off the living room is a hidden STORAGE NOOK/CLOSET tucked under the staircase with original wood shelving. Flowing seamlessly from the family room is the dining room, RICH WITH CHARACTER—STRIKING WALLPAPER, WOOD TRIM, and STYLISH LIGHT FIXTURE that feels right at home. The UPDATED KITCHEN is a true centerpiece, featuring QUARTZ COUNTERS, NEWER STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCES, SUBWAY TILE BACKSPLASH, a LARGE PANTRY, and BREAKFAST BAR. —combining modern convenience with timeless detail. The PRIMARY SUITE, tucked away at the back of the home, is a private retreat with a WALK-IN closet, beautifully RENOVATED en suite with DUAL-HEAD WALK-IN SHOWER, and DIRECT ACCESS to the COVERED PORCH covered and OUTDOOR UTILITY ROOM. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms each feature WALK-IN CLOSETS and ABUNDANT NATURAL LIGHT, along with a cozy landing area currently used as a reading nook. The OVERSIZED FULL BATHROOM includes DUAL SINKS, a TUB/SHOWER COMBO, and GENEROUS LINEN CLOSET. Beyond the walls of this beautiful home lies the best of SANFORD LIVING—just minutes from HISTORIC DOWNTOWN Sanford’s brick-paved streets, charming shops, local dining, breweries, and the scenic riverfront where you can stroll, bike, kayak, and enjoy year-round festivals. But what makes this property TRULY UNIQUE is its MIXED-USE ZONING. Whether you’re looking for a PRIVATE RESIDENCE, PROFESSIONAL OFFICE, or SAMLL STOREFRONT, the possibilities are wide open. Approved uses include options such as a boutique-style retail, small offices, or other light commercial businesses—perfectly suited for transitional residential areas. Additionally, while Seminole County recognizes this as one parcel today, the property was originally platted as three separate lots. Though the city administratively combined them in the 1980’s, records still show the original lot configuration. Through the City of Sanford, a new owner can apply to subdivide the land back into three parcels—creating opportunities for multiple residences or mixed-use spaces. Whether you choose to enjoy this HISTORIC HOME AS-IS, REPURPOSE it for COMMERCIAL USE or EXPLORE SUBDIVISION and DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL, this property is TRULY A ONE-OF-KIND OPPORTUNITY in the HEART OF SANFORD.
