Don't miss the chance to own a piece of history with this stunning 1895-1900 Queen Anne-style Victorian home! Located in the Historic District of DeFuniak Springs, this property is just half a block from the oldest library in the state of Florida and the picturesque Lake. With over 3,000 square feet of living space and beautiful covered porches, this home truly allows you to step back in time. As you enter, you'll find spacious rooms adorned with exquisite detailing, a fireplace, and built-in bookcases in the library. The home has been thoughtfully renovated and updated with modern conveniences while preserving its historic charm. The kitchen features ceramic tile flooring, and granite countertops. The master bath includes a luxurious jacuzzi tub complemented by beautiful tile flooring. Adjacent to the kitchen is a family room/home office that invites ample natural light into the space. The combination mudroom/utility room includes a separate shower for added convenience.
This property boasts two separate staircases, a sprinkler system, and two antique outdoor streetlamps that will remain with the home. The home doesn't have central heat/air. Portable AC units are being used to cool the home.
Additionally, there is a spacious detached carport (24x32) with an attached workshop (12x24). This home was featured in Victorian Homes Magazine, and its photo has been widely used to showcase the Historic District of DeFuniak Springs.
Don't miss the opportunity to make this true piece of history yours today! All dimensions and square footage are deemed reliable but should be confirmed by the buyer at their expense. Please note that the property is located in the Historic District and is subject to the Historic Ordinance. A metal roof was installed in 2011, and the wiring and plumbing, including the shop, were completely updated in 1987 with heavy-duty 200-amp service.
