The "Long House" was built in 1890 and is listed in the "National Register of Historic Places". It's nestled in with other historic homes on Main St and only minutes from shopping , restaurants and St. Vincent's Medical Center. The flavor of this beautiful old home is found in every room. As you enter by way of the antique brick walkway you can't help but notice the sheer size of the magnolia and cedar trees. Large mature azaleas form a border around the front and sides of the massive 160 ft wrap around cypress porch, of which 40 ft are screened in. All the landscaping is very mature including over 100 azaleas which burst forth with an explosion of color in the spring! A metal roof and 30 ft stone chimney , with wood burning fireplace set off this home. Inside all original hardwood floors, wood walls and even ceilings add a feeling of warmth rarely found in todays newer homes. There are four large bedrooms, two full baths, formal living room, dining room, breakfast nook, laundry room and family room. The master bath has a large fully lined cedar closet and linen closet. An additional 800 sq ft walk in attic awaits your imagination to finish off to become a huge bonus room! Two A/C units, one just replaced on 7/30/2021 and ceiling fans in nearly every room will keep you comfortable year round. A 400 ft deep artesian well means that when your power goes out, you can still shower and bathe. There's also a large 650 sq ft metal building measuring 24' x 27' complete with concrete floor, electric, LED lighting and ceiling fans for all your projects or just to hang out and play ping pong! Two additional buildings match the house: the garden shed and a former chicken coop allow for plenty of space to keep all your outdoor stuff. Fruit trees include Honeybell and valencia oranges, grapefruit, lemon and pear, all very mature and producing wonderful fruit. A very private large backyard and two driveways complete this one of a kind homestead. Just a quarter of a mile up the street is Beautiful Black Creek Park which has a boat ramp, fishing dock, playground and boardwalk through the natural preserve, perfect for an early morning walk to watch the sun rise over the creek.
