Property Description

Welcome to 704 Palmetto Avenue! Step into history with this charming 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom historic home nestled in the heart of downtown Sanford's Residential Historic District.

The charming curb appeal features updated landscaping, majestic oak trees, and a wrap-around front porch. A spacious foyer and living area welcome you home and lead seamlessly into the dining room. The cozy floor plan creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. Original hardwood flooring and tall baseboards enhance the craftsmanship. The wavy glass of the wood framed windows highlight the home's architectural character and lasting beauty. The kitchen boasts modern luxury with updated flooring, wood cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless-steel appliances. Additional shelving conveys with purchase to maximize storage space. A touch of quintessential charm is found in the screen door leading to the backyard.

Her extensive knowledge of construction, the communities we visited, school systems, and even the landscaping native to the area impressed us from day one!

    "Caroline was absolutely amazing to work with. She was attentive, thorough, and truly had our best interests in mind while helping us acquire our second property. Even in a hot market where homes were still selling at or above asking, she expertly navigated the process and helped us get our offer accepted below the asking price. We’ve since recommended her to others, and every one of them has been just as pleased. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated real estate agent."
