About this home
Welcome to The Warren R. Williams House, a registered historic landmark built circa 1923 and one of the finest surviving examples of Sanford's early Craftsman bungalow architecture. Constructed in striking Flemish-bond brick with dark headers and crowned by a low-pitched, slate-shingled hip roof, this home immediately captivates. A charming hipped dormer with its petite balcony and decorative balustrade adds to the storybook character, while the engaged front porch gracefully extends into a porte cochere, a signature of the period. The property was further framed by an original brick lattice fence which some of that can still be found around the house and includes a contemporaneous hip-roofed brick garage, a rare architectural companion piece still standing nearly a century later.
What truly sets this home apart is its heritage. Built for Warren R. Williams, one of Sanford's most influential civic leaders, the home carries the legacy of a man who served as Sanford's mayor from 1927-1933 and again from 1937-1951. Under his leadership, Sanford experienced notable periods of growth, shaping much of the community we know today. Living here means owning not just a home, but a meaningful piece of Sanford's story.
Inside, the home's warmth and craftsmanship shine through every room. Picture rails, rich millwork, and well-preserved details celebrate the home's history, while the layout offers comfort and livability for today's lifestyle. Featuring four bedrooms, including a main-floor primary suite, the home provides flexibility for families, guests, or work-from-home needs.
An unfinished walk out basement with a workshop area adds excellent storage and hobby space. While outdoors, the property opens to an amazing backyard. Private, spacious, and perfect for gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying quiet afternoons in a timeless setting. A two-car detached brick garage complements the historic character and functionality of the home.
Recent improvements include a newer main sewer and water line directly to city hookup, offering peace of mind and long-term value. As an added bonus, the seller is offering a $7,500 seller concession toward exterior painting, allowing buyers to personalize the home's historic beauty.
This is a rare opportunity to own a lovingly preserved piece of Sanford's architectural heritage with room to make it your own. Homes like this do not come around often. Schedule your showing today and step into the story of 119 N Gulf Street.
