Property Description

Welcome to 1118 S Park Avenue, a beautifully restored circa-1916 Craftsman on a corner lot in Sanford’s Residential Historic District. Just moments from First Street and Sanford Avenue and located within the coveted golf cart zone, this home offers walkable access to downtown dining, shops, events, parks, and the waterfront. A classic wraparound front porch framed by a white picket fence sets the stage for timeless charm. Inside, refinished heart pine hardwood floors, French doors, decorative windows, custom window treatments, and a natural gas fireplace create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The living and dining areas flow effortlessly and feature a custom mantle, built-in storage, and a dining room wet bar with marble backsplash, antique seeded glass cabinetry, copper sink, beverage refrigerator, and wine fridge, ideal for entertaining. At the heart of the home, the fully redesigned chef’s kitchen blends craftsmanship and functionality with custom cabinetry, white oak shelving, a custom plaster range hood, reclaimed heart pine flooring, a hidden walk-in pantry, and a premium Bosch appliance suite including an induction range and double ovens. Just off the kitchen, a well-designed mudroom offers laundry, storage, and a convenient drop zone with access to the half bath and backyard. The first-floor primary suite provides privacy and direct access to a wood deck, perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The primary bathroom has been completely redesigned with custom cabinetry and dual independent shower heads, surrounded by thoughtfully planned native landscaping. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, a bonus room, and beautifully updated bathrooms, including a hall bath with an iron clawfoot tub and penny tile. A dedicated upstairs office features custom built-in bookshelves with library lighting. Extensive renovations were completed with care for historic integrity, including complete permitted replumbing and full electrical rewire of the entire home, dual HVAC systems with smart thermostats, a tankless natural gas water heater, restored original windows with historically appropriate replacements, a 2020 architectural shingle roof, enhanced attic insulation and storage with pull down stairs, lighting, and ventilation, and professionally installed drainage directing all water to the street. Outdoor spaces are equally impressive, with Florida friendly landscaping designed alongside a Florida Master Gardener and native plant experts. Features include raised garden beds, crushed shell paths, drip irrigation using reclaimed water, premium low voltage lighting, a side yard play space with Delaturf artificial turf, a permitted 10x10 shed, and alley access garage. A transferable termite bond is included. Rich in history and once known as the Celery House Inn, this exceptional home offers a rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved piece of Sanford’s past, thoughtfully updated for modern living.
