Just off the living room is a hidden STORAGE NOOK/CLOSET tucked under the staircase with original wood shelving.

Approved uses include options such as a boutique-style retail, small offices, or other light commercial businesses—perfectly suited for transitional residential areas. Additionally, while Seminole County recognizes this as one parcel today, the property was originally platted as three separate lots.

Through the City of Sanford, a new owner can apply to subdivide the land back into three parcels—creating opportunities for multiple residences or mixed-use spaces.
