Property Description
Built in 1900, this two-story Craftsman cottage is one of the original homes in the Dean Park Historic District, and the character that comes with that history is genuinely hard to find in a rental. Original woodwork, a wood-burning fireplace, custom plantation shutters, and a wraparound front porch give this 3-bedroom, 2-bath plus den home a warmth and personality that newer construction simply can't replicate.
Recent updates add a fresh feel while preserving the home's historic charm, including a newly repainted downstairs bedroom, freshly repainted kitchen and downstairs bathroom, a brand-new brick paver circular driveway, and a new upstairs bathtub.
The layout is practical and livable. The kitchen with wooden cabinets, tiled countertops, and stainless appliances connects naturally to both the dining room and a large den/flex space. A ground-floor bedroom sits just off the flex area, while upstairs you'll find the primary suite and a second guest bedroom sharing a full bath with a newly updated tub and shower combo. The new circular driveway and carport provide convenient parking with added curb appeal.
The oversized, fenced lot is filled with mature trees and tropical landscaping, and the brick pavers that wind around the home add to the outdoor charm. Sit on the front porch, walk the tree-lined pet-friendly streets of Dean Park, or stroll to the Downtown River District for dining, entertainment, and the riverfront park with its bandshell and play area...it's all right here.
One important note for peace of mind: this home did not flood during Hurricanes Ian, Helene, or Milton.
