Property Description

Welcome to 218 S Elm Ave, a stunning example of Sanford's rich history and unique character. This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home, built in 1908, seamlessly blends historic charm with modern possibilities. Perfectly situated on a 6,786 sq ft corner lot, this property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds: residential comfort with the potential for commercial use. As you approach this classic home, you'll immediately notice the beautifully preserved architectural details that reflect its early 20th-century origins with a new custom porch with tongue and groove wood and a beautiful metal roof (2017). Inside, you'll find 958 sq ft of living space, featuring 10-ft ceilings, original trim, window frames, and hardwood floors with a layout that maximizes functionality. The home is ready for your personal touch, offering endless possibilities to restore or update its interior. The spacious 3-car garage with a workshop area is a standout feature, providing ample storage space or an ideal place for hobbies, projects, or even a small business operation. The zoning of SC3 (Special Commercial) further enhances the property's versatility, allowing for potential commercial use—an opportunity not often found in such a charming, historic setting. Located just a short walk from the vibrant heart of Downtown Sanford and the picturesque Lake Monroe, this home offers unbeatable access to local shops, restaurants, and recreational activities. Enjoy a stroll along the scenic lakefront or explore the thriving cultural scene in Sanford, all while having the privacy of your own peaceful retreat. Perfect for animal lovers, this home is a short one-block walk to the Sanford Paw Park. Whether you're looking for a quaint historic home to restore, a potential commercial venture, or a combination of both, 218 S Elm Ave is an exceptional opportunity. Don’t miss the chance to own a piece of Sanford’s past with all the conveniences of modern living. Contact us today to schedule a tour!
