One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Standing proudly in succession among other equally admirable estates, this strikingly beautiful home reflects the character of the historic City of Lake Helen, the gem of Florida, known for its old Florida charm, graced with Victorian architecture of yesteryear and now the current rage of newly built, high-end homes. The MAIN HOUSE (1568 sf) - CUSTOM-BUILT by a local builder for his private residence, the quality and craftsmanship exceed the norm with CEMENT BLOCK POURED with CONCRETE, high-quality stucco, and real stone. Soaring VAULTED CEILINGS, CROWN MOLDING, PLANTATION SHUTTERS, a SKYLIGHT, CUSTOM MILLWORK and CABINETRY, all crafted to create a home with elegance, inviting cottage charm, warm character and simple sophistication! Two sets of FRENCH DOORS open to a COVERED and SCREENED LANAI with a SALT WATER, SELF-CLEANING, HEATED POOL surrounded only by flora and fauna creating a private escape to a world all its own. The GUEST HOUSE (308 sf) - Complete with its own front porch and private garage, the efficiency suite, with a fully functional kitchen, bath, and large walk-in closet, could easily be expanded by incorporating what is presently a storage room as the entire area is 840 sf under roof. The METAL BUILDING - New as of 2023 measuring 40’x40’ and 16’ at center height, it is equipped with 200 amp electrical, has a 6” concrete slab with 3400 pcf and an epoxy finishing, one door measuring 12’x12’ and another 12’x20’, and will convey with a self-standing air conditioning unit. The LAND and POND - Arising from a setting that is truly storybook worthy, a picturesque TWO ACRE SPRING-FED POND filled with brim and bass naturally borders the north end of the FIVE FENCED ACRES with CODED GATE ENTRY. The property also boasts additional fenced cross-sections, one for gardening and another for animals. A large chicken coop with water and electricity is positioned at the rear of the property near a back-entry double gate. Water heaters-2023. Roof-2017. A fire hydrant is just outside the front gate on the other side of the road.
