Back on the market through absolutely no fault of the seller! 'All I want is a sweet little one story cottage near Lake DeFuniak that doesn't need any work.' Your wish is our command! This quintessential Florida cottage is located in the historic district, a short stroll to Lake DeFuniak and downtown, with 3 beds/1.5 baths and 1339sf all on one level. Every detail of this historic sanctuary has been thoughtfully restored. Nothing has been left to do. Every board is caulked and painted inside and out. All electrical and plumbing? Done. Refinished floors? Check. The galley style kitchen with quartz counters, original brick fireplace stack, and vintage-inspired finishes leads to the calming sunroom. The perfect space for morning coffee or afternoon relaxation, featuring a half bath and convenient laundry area. The new master bath is the epitome of timeless materials combined with modern fixtures, featuring an original clawfoot soaking tub and large tile and glass shower. This home has all the magic you'd hope for in a properly restored historic home. Speaking of history, while the tax rolls say otherwise, the sellers have evidence that the year built is actually 1876 and originally served as the first Methodist Episcopal Church building. There's also a storage building/workshop, all sitting on nearly 3/4 of an acre; an unheard of lot size in the historic district! The front walkway was recently designed and crafted with antique Chicago brick, creating an inviting hello and a warm sending off in style. I challenge you to find a more enchanting, finely finished home in the downtown area. With an acceptable full price offer, the sellers will include the carefully selected furnishings to make it a perfect package.
