About This Home

As of November 2025

Located in the May-Lecta-Sweet Historic District, this charming Victorian-style home has a lot of character and offers a blend of traditional styles and modern updates (e.g. new energy-efficient windows).

In addition to new energy-efficient windows, other updates include new flooring and light fixtures. Last but not least, the home’s location on the tree-lined streets of the May-Lecta-Sweet Historic District puts you in close proximity to the UAFS campus, Creekmore Park, the FS Regional Art Museum, and other culture and entertainment opportunities.
