Property Description
Turn of the century charmer on a half acre! The eye catching landscaping along with the inviting wrap around porch welcomes you into this 5 bedroom 2 bath Victorian style home. Nestled in the heart of Arcadia sits the perfect home for a large family, Multifamily, or could be an adorable bed and breakfast. This home was a place of healing. It was originally the Adams home and then according to local lore was a doctors residence who ran his office on the side of the house back in the early 1900’s. It is spacious enough for everyone to have room and then some to spare. The artistry in the woodwork, trim, and molding throughout the home is exquisite. It starts with a beautiful foyer that leads into the front parlor. Then leads through the double french doors into a dining room large enough to accommodate many guests. It is currently being used as a billiards room. It has a separate family room with a large wood burning fireplace and floor-to-ceiling built in shelves. A large eat in kitchen has a breakfast bar and lots of cabinet and pantry space. The large downstairs bedroom has a beautiful fireplace. Scale the stunning staircase and you will see a cozy little sitting room that could be an adorable little office as well that leads to a balcony you can enjoy cool Florida mornings or late evenings on. There are 4 bedrooms on the second floor 3 large- one with a fireplace (thats a total of 3!) and the last was designed as the small nursery or “crying room” could be office or possibly future bathroom. (Plumbing chase is at the end of this room) The second bath is on this floor and is designed as an en-suite. The wrap around porch screams southern charm - has a pleasant breeze even on the warmest of days, and is perfect for entertaining guests. The porch leads to the grounds -a manicured half acre with beautiful fountain and detached 2 car garage. The roof- all but the very top was done by Gopher roofing in 2020- the top was deemed not in need of replacement at the time. (56 pages of documentation on line in permit) The home was rewired in 2017- old knob and tube and fuses gone- new panel and wiring. The property was tented for termites in 2017- no live observed but as a condition for this owners purchase. Property was purchased in 2017 with a VA loan!
