Property Description
Welcome to 618 S. Oak Avenue! This charming single-story Queen Anne Victorian, built in 1910 (possibly earlier), is a rare find in Central Florida. This stunning home is bursting with character, including four decorative fireplaces and original gingerbread spindle work and other primary decorative elements. She sits on a coveted corner lot along Oak Avenue, just six blocks from historic downtown Sanford in the Golf Cart District. The inviting wraparound porch, with TWO porch swings, overlooks blooming mature azaleas each spring. Upon entering through a gorgeous stained glass front door, you're welcomed into an expansive 35’ center hall that doubles as both a grand entryway and a spacious living area all by itself. Original doors with transom windows grace both ends of the hall, while 12-foot ceilings soar throughout the home. The living room, located just off the foyer, features a lovely brick fireplace and ample natural light from several windows. Off the center hall are three generous bedrooms, each with a decorative fireplace and built-in closets. The heart pine wood floors flow throughout the home, except for the recently updated guest bathroom, which features tile flooring, a marble walk-in shower, and dual showerheads.
One bedroom, with its own decorative fireplace and large closet, can easily function as a flex room or den and is currently used as a dining room. The interior of the home matches the exterior’s original charm, including decorative moldings, built-in cabinetry, picture rails, transom windows, and ornate mantels.
The primary bedroom boasts dual walk-in closets, a fireplace, and an en suite bathroom with built-in storage and a clawfoot tub with a shower. The updated kitchen is a cook's dream, combining modern functionality with period charm. It includes custom white inset cabinetry, quartz countertops, a natural gas cooktop, stainless steel appliances, and a Fisher & Paykel double dishwasher. There's also a breakfast bar and a large, separate breakfast nook. The backyard is perfect for entertaining, featuring a brick-paver patio, a beautiful fountain, mature landscaping, and an herb garden. A custom-built playhouse, designed to match the main home, adds a delightful touch and could also serve as additional storage. A storage shed and a two-car driveway provide off-street parking, with access to a functional alley. The home is termite-protected and has a natural gas tankless water heater. The beauty and charm of this amazing home is unparalleled. After decades of being lovingly cared for by the current owners, this home is being offered to the market for the first time since 1989. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become the next steward of this home, and own a piece of Sanford history for yourself!
