This 1925 Spanish Mediterranean beautifully maintained home is the epitome of charm, character, and coziness. This grand and spacious 2 bedroom, one bath invites you in with its tall ceilings and warm original wood floors. It was previously a 3 bedroom and can easily be converted back. The third door would open up to the back hallway. The open floor plan and abundance of windows make it feel especially cheery. You will fall in love with the built-ins in the front sunroom as you walk through the original solid wood french doors and the crown moulding throughout the home. This beauty also has gorgeous original glass door knobs, as well as solid core panel doors, and original plaster interior and stucco exterior. The main rooms are spacious for a home of this era and the living room has an original beautiful wood burning fireplace for those handful of cold nights that we appreciate in Florida. The kitchen also has ample storage for a 1920's home but if it were to be remodeled, one could easily take advantage of the vertical space for a little bit more room. Also, for those true chefs you will love that this home has gas appliances! Another rare gem for a house of this size and date is indoor laundry! The utility room is actually rather spacious. Now for the primary bedroom, it is massive. It actually has potential for a second bath and larger closet. The charm though of the original bathroom, it is a heart stopper. The tiles and fixtures are genuinely beautiful, I have never liked a vintage toilet so much! This home truly is amazing and we haven't even gotten to they fairytale yard. The homeowner is a professional landscape architect and it shows. This garden has been featured on garden tours and has won awards for sustainability. It is low maintenance and has a low pressure drip irrigation system. It also has a laundry list of fruit trees peppered throughout the property line and many native flowers to bring in the bees and butterflies so pesticides are not necessary. It features, bananas, mangoes, mulberries, starfruit, papayas, pineapples, and many herbs and raised vegetable bed. There is also a lovely private outdoor shower tucked away in the side yard. As well as front and rear brick patios to enjoy this lovely paradise. Electric has had recent upgrades, Including an EV car hook up, there is no active knob & tube. NOT IN A FLOOD ZONE! Plumbing has also had some upgrades as well. The funky light shade in the bathroom does not convey, as well as the handmade tile address placard. Address placard will be replaced upon request.
