This is a rare opportunity to own a home and income producing property on a generous sized lot of over an acre – 51,381 square feet to be exact in city limits.

Entering the front door of the main house, there is a sizeable living space with an adjacent private screened porch overlooking a fenced yard with park-like setting of mature trees and plantings. Enjoy the sunny, cheerful rooms with a quirky, bohemian feel making it impossible not to smile. The blend of old and new makes this home warm and inviting. At present, the main home is being left vacant for showing purposes. Attached to the main house with its own private entrance is the studio apartment. This sweet space is currently leased. The attached studio with an open floor plan has its own screened porch that includes the shared laundry for the main house and studio. Behind the main house is an adorable detached cottage with an even more adorable screened porch of its own. The cottage has one bedroom and one bath with a private, fenced yard and its own laundry. The cottage is currently leased. The abundance of character and charm engage your senses. Behind all of this you can enjoy all nature has to offer in your very own private wooded Old Florida refuge which abuts the city owned Water Tower Park.
