About this home

Historic District Lakefront Gem in Lake Helen. Step back in time with this designated historic district home built in 1914, beautifully situated on nearly one acre of pristine lakefront property on Lake Helen. Once occupied by the author of “Lake Helen, The Gem of Florida,” this residence blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates.

Sixteen new windows (2023), two new HVAC units Air Handlers and Condensers (2024), and a brand-new roof (2024) provide peace of mind for years to come. Enjoy the charm of the wrap-around porch, with the lake side screened in for serene lakefront views—perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Launch your canoe,
