About this home
A Slice of Sanford History Meets Modern Elegance. Welcome to the heart of Historic Downtown Sanford, where timeless charm and thoughtful modern upgrades come together in perfect harmony. Nestled along one of Sanford’s picturesque brick-lined streets shaded by majestic oaks, this stunning two-story home offers over 2,500 square feet of character, comfort, and undeniable curb appeal.
From the moment you step onto the inviting front porch, you’ll feel the warmth and history this home carries. Inside, refinished wood floors shine with renewed life, and natural light pours through the windows, highlighting every lovingly updated detail. The heart of the home is the show-stopping gourmet kitchen—completely reimagined with stainless steel appliances, classic subway tile backsplash, stylish open shelving, and custom cabinetry that offers both beauty and functionality.
The spacious and serene downstairs primary suite is a rare find in historic homes, complete with its own beautifully updated en suite bath. Upstairs, you’ll find four more bedrooms and an additional bath, giving you the flexibility for guest rooms, a home office, or creative space.
This home offers multiple living areas to spread out and relax, whether you’re curled up with a book, entertaining friends, or enjoying quiet family time. Step outside to your private backyard oasis, fully fenced and ready for summer barbecues on the extended brick paver patio.
Recent upgrades include a new AC unit (2025), stunning exterior and interior paint, designer lighting, new luxury vinyl plank floors upstairs, custom closet doors, updated bathroom fixtures, a new privacy fence, and even wildlife-proof sealing for peace of mind. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to maintain the home’s original charm while providing the modern comforts today’s buyers crave.
But what truly sets this home apart is its location. Living here means being just steps away from Sanford’s vibrant downtown scene—walk to the lakefront, breweries, restaurants, coffee shops, the weekly farmers market, and a full calendar of year-round events. It’s not just a home; it’s a lifestyle filled with community, character, and connection.
Homes like this don’t come around often. If you’ve been dreaming of life in a historic neighborhood with walkability, beauty, and soul—this is your chance to make it yours.
