Graceful and quietly confident, this elegant single story residence offers a rare blend of privacy, space, and architectural character. With three bedrooms and two baths, the home sits on a sprawling, level lot shaded by mature trees, creating a peaceful rural setting with easy access to the city and interstate. A classic brick facade and charming brick walkway lead to the front door, setting a timeless tone from the start. Inside, parquet hardwood floors guide the way through a generous layout defined by strong bones and enduring design. The living room is anchored by exposed beam ceilings and an iconic fireplace, thoughtfully positioned between dual sliding glass doors that invite light and create an easy indoor outdoor connection. While some finishes reflect an earlier era, the home’s beautiful proportions, thoughtful layout, and architectural character reveal a depth of untapped potential ready to be thoughtfully reimagined. The adjacent kitchen follows an open flow, featuring classic millwork cabinetry that complements the warmth of the hardwood floors and architectural details overhead. A formal dining room with timeless chair rail detail and a versatile parlor with oversized windows add depth and flexibility to the floorplan, offering space for gathering, working, or creative pursuits. The primary bedroom is spacious and light filled, with multiple windows overlooking the surrounding greenspace and a well maintained ensuite bath. Secondary bedrooms provide comfortable layouts with good light, storage, and ceiling fans, supported by a carefully maintained secondary bath. Dual doors from the living room open to a brick and glass sunroom with tile floors, offering shaded enjoyment of Florida sunshine throughout the year. A rear entry two car garage and an exceptional lot size further elevate the opportunity. Elegant, idyllic, and full of potential, this home offers a compelling canvas for future vision rooted in classic appeal.
