Craftsman Character with Endless Potential in Growing Arcadia
This classic 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom Craftsman-style home offers the timeless charm of a bygone era—with the opportunity to make it truly your own. From the inviting wraparound porch to the detached garage and spacious lot, every corner of this property reflects the craftsmanship and architectural style that define historic Arcadia.
Inside, the home remains largely untouched, presenting a blank canvas for those with vision. While no recent updates have been made, the solid bones and vintage character create the perfect foundation for thoughtful restoration. One of the bathrooms is ready for a tub installation, giving you the chance to customize the space to fit your needs.
Surrounded by an eclectic mix of architectural styles and centrally located within town, this home sits in the heart of one of Florida’s most authentically charming and increasingly bustling communities. With a bit of creativity and planning, it’s easy to imagine transforming this property into your personal oasis.
This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Arcadia’s history and breathe new life into a home filled with potential. If you're looking for a property that invites imagination and rewards vision, this is it.
