Some houses are just an address. This one is a location. Set on a large corner lot shaded by mature oak trees, this solid concrete block home sits just east of Historic Downtown Sanford - built to last, and positioned in one of the last pockets of Sanford where you still get room to breathe without giving up the walk-to-everything life. Just over a quarter acre, no HOA. The roof is two years new. Inside, a great open floorplan brings the light and the layout together, and out back a large rear patio gives you the space to actually use the yard - morning coffee, weekend cookouts, whatever the quarter acre inspires. But the story here is what's outside the front door too. Point yourself west on 1st Street and you're into the brick-street heart of downtown: Hollerbach's, the breweries on Sanford Avenue, coffee shops, boutiques, and a calendar of street festivals that turns an ordinary Friday into an event. Point yourself north and you're at Lake Monroe, the Riverwalk, and Fort Mellon Park, with nearly five miles of waterfront paved trail and a marina at the end of it. The Auto Train, SunRail, Orlando Sanford International, I-4 and the 417 are all an easy reach for whatever your commute looks like. Sanford has spent the last decade becoming the place everyone in Central Florida suddenly wants to be. This is your entry point. Call to schedule your showing today.
