Overview

A piece of Sanford history ready for its next chapter. Built in 1928 by RENOWNED SEMINOLE COUNTY ARCHITECT ELTON MOUGHTON, this remarkable Spanish Revival home is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Central Florida's architectural heritage! Situated on an expansive 1/3 ACRE LOT, 539 Valencia Street offers nearly a century of charm, distinctive architecture, and incredible potential, and priced appropriately for the remaining renovations needed to bring it to its true glory!

From the moment you arrive, the home's unmistakable SPANISH REVIVAL ARCHITECTURE makes a lasting impression. The colorful stucco exterior, graceful and rounded archways, decorative details, and inviting front courtyard are reminders of Sanford's rich architectural past. Inside, the nearly 2,000sqft home has beautiful wood floors, textured stucco walls, original architectural details, and an antique fireplace that anchors the spacious living room.

The RENOVATED KITCHEN blends modern convenience with historic charm, offering ample cabinetry, built-in shelving, skylights, and a cozy dining nook. Just beyond the living areas, a beautiful SUN-FILLED SOLARIUM features floor-to-ceiling windows, skylights, and French doors overlooking the backyard. It's a wonderful space to enjoy your morning coffee, unwind with a book, or simply take in the peaceful surroundings.

The main level includes a renovated bedroom and bathroom, while the second floor offers two additional bedrooms and another full bathroom. Outside, the charming front courtyard and rear patio provide even more opportunities to enjoy Florida living.

But there's more! The OVERSIZED DETACHED GARAGE includes a 760 SQFT UPSTAIRS GUEST HOUSE with its own private entrance, bedroom, bathroom, and existing kitchenette! A full renovation of this guest space is needed, but offers exciting possibilities for extended family, guests, or POTENTIAL RENTAL INCOME.

The current owners have already invested in significant improvements to this nearly century-old home, including NEW ROOFS on both the garage and main house, updated drain lines, and numerous structural repairs that simply come with owning a historic century year old home.

HISTORIC CHARACTER. MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS. INCREDIBLE POTENTIAL. Homes like this aren't built anymore, and opportunities to restore a piece of Sanford's architectural history don't come along every day. Whether you're drawn to its Spanish Revival charm, spacious property, flexible guest quarters, or the opportunity to bring a special home back to its former glory, 539 VALENCIA STREET IS READY FOR ITS NEXT CHAPTER!
