Welcome to Sanford's ICONIC Higgins House, a masterfully restored 1894 Queen Anne Victorian just blocks from downtown Sanford’s vibrant shopping, dining, and nightlife. Originally built for railroad superintendent James Corcoran Higgins, this grand two-story residence exudes 19th-century charm with timeless elegance. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and still owned by a direct Higgins descendant, it can continue as a cherished bed & breakfast or function beautifully as a private family estate. Curb appeal is unmatched with fresh exterior paint, a brick walkway, colorful flower beds, and fragrant gardenias that perfume the front porch. A water feature with pink impatiens adds a storybook quality to the front yard, while fringe trees on either side attract hummingbirds. Sip sweet tea on the inviting front porch, overlooking the lush green space of Centennial Park, as the etched glass front door and antique doorknob welcome you into a home rich with history. Inside, a sweeping staircase lined with turned spindles—each hand-carved—sets the tone in the grand foyer. Throughout the home, you’ll find original unpainted woodwork, soaring ceilings, and heart of pine floors with inlaid borders. The spacious parlor boasts a gas fireplace with an oversized mantle, 10” baseboards, a picture rail, an antique chandelier, and French doors that provide privacy when desired. The central dining room also features a fireplace and opens gracefully to the updated kitchen, blending old-world character with modern functionality. The kitchen is outfitted with custom cabinetry, a gas range, dual sinks with charming front yard views, catering drawer refrigerators, subway tile backsplash, and sleek quartz countertops. A generous walk-in pantry includes a secondary refrigerator, additional cabinetry, and open shelving. Just beyond, you'll find a quiet study and a laundry room tucked at the rear of the home. The main level also offers a guest powder bath and a bedroom with a private ensuite—perfect for overnight visitors or multigenerational living. Upstairs, four bedrooms and three full baths await. The front sunroom offers a picturesque view of Centennial Park and opens to a breezy second-floor verandah—an ideal spot for morning coffee or sunset wine. The oversized primary suite, currently serving as a lounge, easily accommodates a king bed and sitting area, with dual closets and exposed brick from the original chimney. Its private bath features timeless navy tile and a standing shower. A second staircase from the suite leads directly to the laundry room below for added convenience. Step into the backyard and discover a peaceful retreat designed for both relaxation and entertaining. A cozy back porch, brick patio, mature landscaping, irrigation system, and storage area offer charm and function. There's ample space to build a garage while still conforming to city setback requirements. Additional upgrades include a charming scalloped shingle roof replaced in 2024 and HVAC system updated in 2016. Just a few blocks away, you’ll find all the energy and charm of Downtown Sanford—local boutiques, award-winning restaurants, craft breweries, and year-round festivals. Stroll along the Riverwalk or watch the sun set over Lake Monroe. Launch a boat from the marina or take in a concert at Fort Mellon Park. At the Higgins House, you’re not just buying a home—you’re investing in a lifestyle rooted in history and surrounded by community.
