Open House

7/21 OPEN HOUSE IS CANCELLED. Welcome to 211 S Elm Avenue, a beautifully updated Victorian-style home located in the heart of downtown Sanford. This immaculately maintained home offers a perfect blend of historic charm and modern conveniences, just a short walk from downtown Sanford, Lake Monroe, and the picturesque riverwalk. An added benefit of this property is that the home was previously not within the boundaries of the historic district, allowing the owner more freedom in modifying the home and the advantage of using more durable materials. The city's historic district map was updated later to include this property and thus adding to its value.

The property's SC3 zoning allows it to remain a single-family home or be adapted for various other uses. Whether you seek a distinctive residential home with historic elegance or an outstanding commercial property in a prime location, this downtown treasure provides the best of both worlds. The flexible zoning offers endless possibilities for your lifestyle or business aspirations. Imagine it as your dream home or a flourishing business--a charming bed and breakfast, a cafe, a boutique, or a professional office.
As you approach the home, you're greeted by ornate craftsmanship that leads into a tiled entrance foyer adorned with wainscoting and French doors. These doors lead into a formal living room, showcasing a bay window, hardwood floors, and a functional ventless gas fireplace. Adjacent to the living room, the formal dining room continues the elegance with hardwood floors and a decorative fireplace, perfect for hosting intimate dinners.
The updated kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring white cabinetry, a closet pantry, and stainless-steel appliances. The kitchen seamlessly opens onto an entertaining deck that overlooks the oversized, fenced backyard, creating an ideal space for outdoor gatherings. The downstairs full bath, with its stained-glass storage cabinet and laundry area, adds to the home's convenience.
Ascending the stairs, you'll find a beautiful stained-glass window at the top, leading to the master suite. The master bedroom exudes warmth with a decorative fireplace and a cedar closet, while the en suite bathroom offers an oversized shower and updated finishes. The second bedroom features a bay window and a decorative fireplace. and the third bedroom functions perfectly as a guest room, nursery, or home office.
Outside, the property is an outdoor paradise with an aluminum pergola featuring Trex(r) decking, lush tropical landscaping, and a large shed for storage. Rear parking off the alley within a fenced area ensures convenience and security, and a curb cut in front of the house offers an additional off-street parking space with a gravel driveway.
This home has been meticulously maintained, with a metal roof installed in 2012, updated electric and plumbing, two new AC units added in 2017, and all windows refurbished in 2013. Insulation in the attic was completed in 2024. The home maintains a termite bond for peace of mind. All furniture in home can convey with purchase or be removed, depending on buyer's preference.
Living at 211 S Elm Avenue means enjoying the small-town charm of the city, with downtown restaurants, breweries, galleries, and the marina just steps away. This historic Victorian home is ready to welcome its new owners into a blend of history and modern comfort.

Here is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live cantilevered over Lake Rowena. 1401 Dolive Dr • Orlando Florida 32803 (#1401DoliveDr) $2,800,000 Bedrooms: 3 Full Bathrooms: 3 Heated Square Feet: 4,282 2-Car Garage Contact Anthony Consalvo 407-599-7070 ext 106 Designed with a lake view from every room in mind, this 1974 Mid-Century Modern Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired 4,200 square-foot residence is like none other in Central Florida. Its designer and builder, Gerry Gay, was a prominent designer, engineer, and contractor in the 1970s. Jutting over the water, constructed with cement and steel I-beams, it wouldn't be possible to duplicate this architectural marvel with current building setback regulations.  Drive down the lush and private 200-foot live oak canopied driveway to a true architectural gem. Approaching the front door, you see and hear the babbling brook flowing under the house to Lake Rowena. Once inside the front door, you immediately see the lake through floor-to-ceiling, high-impact tinted windows.  The updated kitchen is complete with black granite countertops, an island with seating, and professional-grade appliances. You can watch the sunrise over the water from the kitchen window.  Wake to an enchanted morning in the master bedroom as daylight shines through its floor-to-ceiling windows – it's like being on a cruise ship. The main-level master suite has dual closets, a privacy-enclosed toilet, a private tub and shower area, and a zen-like private patio with a lake view. The lower level offers a spacious family room and two split guest rooms, each with an en-suite bathroom. Walk out onto the massive 17-foot by 71-foot (Ipe Wood) deck that extends beyond the entire lake side of the home. Look straight to the lake through the glass railing. And much much more! 📷 @trevisuality 🎶 Bossa in My Heart by Serge Quadrado - Artlist ✂️ @craigthomasofficial
