About This Property
Welcome to 918 S. Palmetto Avenue! This 1921 Colonial Revival home is located on a large corner lot in Historic Downtown Sanford’s Residential Historic District. Featuring 4 bedrooms (including one downstairs!), 2 1/2 bathrooms + a flex room, this home also has a 600+ sq. ft., 2-car detached garage (new garage door doors with openers, 2025). This home has been thoughtfully renovated over the last decade, and the end result is a beautiful home that is also COMFORTABLE and FUNCTIONAL for modern day living. As you enter the home's foyer you are welcomed by FRESHLY REFINISHED oak floors (upstairs pine floors are also shining from a fresh refinish!) you'll notice the stately staircase, the centerpiece of the traditional Center Hall Colonial floor plan. The dining room and kitchen have been updated to an open floor plan, with a Carrera marble peninsula-style countertop, traditional white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances (natural gas range) and subway tile back splash. This kitchen features 3 pantries, one of which is currently used as a party closet! Around the corner is a nook/bar area, followed by the mud porch, and downstairs powder bath. The large living room features 4 large windows, a decorative brick fireplace, a custom built-in bookcase (2017), custom draperies, and 2 French doors leading to a sunroom/flex room/office. Hardwired ceiling speakers are located throughout the downstairs of the home - so great for entertaining! Beyond the living room is the 4th bedroom/flex room, filled with windows that make it a light and bright space - perfect for an office or den. Upstairs, surrounding a large and open upstairs landing, you'll find the large primary suite, two additional bedrooms, large full bathroom with double sink vanity sink, and upstairs laundry room. A small yet magical room is found at the top of the stairs - a flex room, perfect for a small office, nursery, meditation/yoga retreat, reading nook...the big primary suite features three large double-hung windows, as well as a wall of custom closets installed by Closet by Design (2024). Walking into the classic en suite bathroom is like stepping into a relaxing spa, featuring Carrera marble tile, an antique cast iron claw foot tub, windows, amazing natural light, double sink vanity, and plenty of spaces to store everything neatly. The nearly .25 acre corner lot also features a private wood-fenced (2024) backyard, with a masonry garden wall, original brick paver patio, TREX deck, and a 600 SQ FOOT DETACHED GARAGE. This home is move-in ready: HVAC 2016 and 2021, ROOF 2021, full electrical re-wire 2016, re-plumbed (PEX and CPVC), natural gas tankless water heater, and new natural gas line (2016.) The irrigation system provides reclaimed water. Nearly all of the original double-hung wood windows have been professionally restored. This home was selected as the filming location for two DISNEY commercials and just last month, a feature film, reflecting its timeless appeal and photogenic design. She has been LOVED and is ready for her lucky new stewards! The detached garage also offers opportunities for ADU conversion to become a mother in law suite, pool cabana, guesthouse etc. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of Sanford's past and future in this special home, neighborhood and community.
