About this home
The Sebastian House – Historic Beauty with
Modern Comforts & Income Potential
Step into a piece of Plant City history with The Sebastian House, a beautifully restored 1934 gem located in the heart of the Historic District. Local legend holds that this home was once owned by Dillard Sebastian, one of the early pastors in town, and later provided lodging for rail workers during the expansion of Henry B. Plant’s railroad system.
Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated, this home blends timeless craftsmanship with modern amenities. Original heart pine floors, bead-board walls, plaster accents, and period doors and windows preserve its authenticity, while updates such as a NEW HVAC, ALL NEW windows throughout; fully renovated kitchen and baths, stainless steel appliances, NEW 2-drawer style dishwasher, NEW stainless sink with commercial faucet, marble countertops, and soft-close cabinetry - offer modern conveniences with vintage charm.
The inviting front porch still receives traditional mail delivery, (Shh, there is an built-in safe in the house too!) adding to the nostalgic appeal of living in the Historic District. Inside, the spacious front music room features the original fireplace, while French doors open to an elegant den area with a classic chandelier.
Each of the large bedrooms offers its own distinctive charm. One bathroom has fresh white tiles and a bidet, while the other hosts a walk-in shower bathed in light from an original stain-glass window.
The bright kitchen, freshly fitted with marble countertop and walk-in pantry hosts a cozy breakfast/tearoom, filled with light and personality.
From the tearoom, through the mudroom, fitted with pet-flap, you can enjoy a private covered porch perfect for entertaining and a rustic carriage house with its original tin roof—a true historic treasure. The side garden holds a jasmine vine archway fitted with a private outdoor shower. The corner lot features an automatic gated driveway, security cameras, and ample gravel parking.
If you choose you can continue to benefit from the beautiful bungalow’s easy-maintenance food forest. The 12*12 lot features an irrigation & rain barrel system, papaya, banana, star fruit, longevity spinach, and more tasty edibles suited to Central Florida's climate.
This property is also equipped for home-office use and has successfully operated part-time as an Airbnb generating approximately $10,000 annually, offering both residential enjoyment and income potential.
Plant City is known for its southern charm, sense of community, and world-famous Strawberry Festival (walking distance from house). Conveniently located between Tampa and Orlando, you’ll enjoy small-town living with big-city access just a short drive away.
