Nestled in the heart of Monticello, FL, this truly unique home stands as a testament to the town's rich history. Built in the early to mid-1880s to accommodate workers at the Palmer Mill, it is one of the town's oldest treasures. Lovingly restored by several previous owners, the property exudes a remarkable sense of pride and craftsmanship. Situated on a generous half-acre lot with a private fenced backyard, this residence is a sanctuary of its own. The main house, boasting 1,540 sqft, features 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, while a separate Guest Cottage in the backyard offers added comfort with its own bathroom (not included in the main house square footage). The character and heritage of this home have been meticulously preserved, evident in the original details that grace its interior. A spacious center corridor welcomes you, leading to a living area adorned with a gas fireplace and a large updated kitchen. Modern comforts such as updated electric, a tankless water heater, extensive foundation work, a metal roof, and fully rebuilt fireplaces coexist seamlessly with the historical charm. Additionally, an extra 198 sqft storage shed on the property holds the potential to transform into an additional guest house. This property is steeped in local history and enjoys a prime location, just a block from the historic Jefferson County Courthouse, offering easy access to shops, restaurants, the opera house, and all the local events. Embrace this opportunity to own a piece of Monticello's past and make it a part of your future.
