About This Home
Under contract-accepting backup offers. Introducing 1217 Magnolia Avenue! A remarkable Colonial Revival residence located in the highly desirable Sanford Historic District within Sanford's vibrant, lively downtown. Built-in 1923 by MS Wiggins, this residence was designed to enhance natural light. It showcases a significant number of windows throughout, ensuring each room feels bright and airy. The current owner's deep affection for this home is evident, having preserved its original features over the last 18 years, which highlights its lasting beauty and charm. . . . .
The inviting brick front porch leads you inside, where a spacious living room awaits, with elegant hardwood floors, a cozy fireplace, and built-in shelving. The office, separated by the original 35-lite pocket door, is an ideal space for productivity. Adjacent to the office, the sunroom/studio provides a serene environment for quiet moments while enjoying views of the gardens through the many windows. . . . .
The bright, sunny formal dining room features beautiful wood flooring and original built-ins. A convenient swinging door connects to the butler's pantry. It leads into the kitchen, equipped with custom wood cabinets, granite countertops, the original kitchen sink, two sizable pantries, a delightful breakfast nook, and a full bathroom. Imagine sipping your morning coffee while taking in views of the patio and gardens, accessible through both the sunroom and breakfast area. . . . .
On the second floor, you'll find three ample-sized bedrooms, an additional full bathroom, and an attractive in-law suite featuring a sitting area, kitchen, full bath, and generous living space—perfect for guests or potential rental income. The private entrance to the apartment could also be restored as per the owner's preference, making this an option for additional income. . . . .
The fully fenced yard ensures privacy and security, providing a welcoming and tranquil environment. The gardens are just waiting for you to enhance and make them your own. The laundry area, which is under air, and the workshop are conveniently placed within the one-car garage. This property presents incredible opportunities for customization. . . .
As this exceptional home is also located in the Golf Cart District, you can easily hop on your golf cart and head downtown to explore all that Sanford has to offer, including restaurants, breweries, art galleries, shopping, and a variety of local events. . . . .
Key points to note include: the roof was replaced in 2018, air conditioning was updated in 2018, the water heater was installed in 2022, the first floor electric panel replaced, and any plumbing updates were done in the kitchen and laundry areas as they were being updated.
