Welcome to 2101 Sanford Avenue! Offered for the first time in 43 years, this is the historic home you have been dreaming of. This charming two-story Craftsman is located in downtown Sanford's historic Rose Court neighborhood (golf cart zone.) Situated on an oversized 1/2 acre double lot with many original features intact (including FOUR wood-burning fireplaces!) this home offers character in spades. Stepping through the front entrance into the foyer, you'll notice the stately staircase and beautiful living room through French doors. Enjoy the views of the front yard through large original bay windows. The living room features built-in shelves to display books and other treasured items. Enjoy morning coffee in the sunny Florida room, with three walls of windows overlooking the backyard. Note the original double-hung wood windows, lovingly-restored wood trim and millwork, and hardwood floors throughout. A cozy family room provides additional living space. The large, eat-in kitchen includes solid wood cabinets, double built-in oven, dishwasher, cooktop and refrigerator. A breakfast nook, interior laundry room adjacent to kitchen and downstairs Delft-tiled powder bath complete the downstairs. French doors open out from the breakfast nook to the wood deck, overlooking the lush, park-like backyard. The staircase features clever storage solutions with closets tucked under the stairs, in the stairwell and at the top of the landing. Lovely windows light the way upstairs, including a stained glass window. Behind original unpainted wood doors, three bedrooms await, two with fireplaces, along with a full hallway bath and linen closet. The semi-detached 18x21 guest house boasts two separate entrances, a full bath and large closet. This potential-filled space could be a mother-in-law suite, guest house, game room, cabana, or short term rental unit. The large and serene backyard includes mature landscaping, a detached 12x18 workshop to accommodate your storage needs and golf cart parking. The lot could potentially be split and subdivided. The covered gazebo - already plumbed and wired - is ready to become your new summer kitchen…this home was built for entertaining! Walk, bike or drive your golf cart to Sanford's vibrant downtown scene and the Lake Monroe Riverwalk. Don't miss your chance to be the next steward of this unique and lovely historic home.
