251 W HORATIO AVENUE MAITLAND FL 32751 MLS #O6186234

Incredible opportunity to own one of the oldest homes in Maitland. This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom Florida vernacular-style home, built in 1886, sits on a half-acre lot in the heart of Maitland just one home from Lake Sybelia. The original windows, doors, high ceilings and brick street out front give this home so much character, with a large screened-in back porch perfect for relaxing and catching refreshing lake breezes. Out back behind the butterfly garden, you’ll find a small guest cottage, or mother-in-law suite, converted from what was originally a chicken coop in the early 1900s. Notably, the shower of the detached guest cottage has a glass ceiling. Your guests will appreciate having their own full kitchen, driveway entrance and parking area. The home was RE-WIRED in 2020 and has had a TERMITE BOND for decades.
This home is one of a dying breed and many of its contemporaries have been wiped away to make room for modern construction. Many of the homes around it are new and large and the neighborhood is an eclectic mix. Those who appreciate its rustic allure will recognize the unique opportunity it presents. Bring your vision and creativity to breathe new life into this historic gem in one of the most fantastic neighborhoods in Central Florida.
