About this property

Florida Farmhouse- Sanford Historic District

The Florida Farmhouse, built in 1902, is a 2800 sq ft home located in the Historic District. A five minute walk from downtown, The Farmhouse puts you close to many great restaurants, craft breweries, quaint shops and entertainment venues. A great place to stay if your family or group of friends are in Sanford for reunions, weddings, sporting events, or whatever brings you to Celery City. The Farmhouse has a very open, sprawling layout. The dining room seats 12-14 if you want to get cozy (8 chairs plus 2 benches). The fully equipped kitchen has additional seating for 6. This flows into the centerpiece of the group gathering place- a huge great room with Smart TV and Bluetooth sound system. The home features 2 master suites, 2 bedrooms and a loft. One of the bedrooms has adjoining bonus room for both sleeping and secondary entertainment (it has a trundle bed and a 2nd television). Two very unique and compelling features of this home are the handicap and pet accommodations. There is a handicap ramp that provides access to one of the master suites. The bathroom in that suite has a walk/roll in shower- no curb or tub side to interfere with access, and plenty of room to maneuver. It also has a built in bench, safety rails and hand held shower head. Also, there is a built-in dog kennel- a 3 ft by 8 ft climate controlled, tiled space in the laundry room with a gate. Sanford Paw Park is just one block away and many of the venues downtown are dog friendly. Or- if you want to explore on your own and leave Fido home you can do so, knowing he is tucked away safely in his own little bedroom.

60th birthday/Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful few days at Susan’s house in Sanford. My brother’s and my families stayed in the farmhouse as we have other siblings and our mom who live locally. It was perfect for our needs. Susan even dropped off some cooking equipment that she thought we might need. I will definitely stay here in the future if needed.

Super nice, clean and spacious. Convenient to many restaurants and services like grocery stores and so forth. Previous guests had left some provisions/non-perishables making our community cooking efforts very satisfying. Would enjoy the opportunity of staying in this property again.

Spacious, delightful

The farmhouse was very spacious and comfortable, and absolutely delighted our family of 10! We also had two very little ones (15 months and 3yrs old) that could ramble safely to their hearts content. The host was very quick to respond and helpful at all times. Simply wonderful!

Perfect place in Sanford

Beautiful old home! Walking distance to downtown Sanford restaurants and shops. We had a total of 7 adults and it worked out perfectly. Large kitchen for cooking, large dining room and living room. Clean and neat. Also a large back deck for cooking and eating outside with a grill

Perfect location and character

Locals wanting to host out of town family for a wedding just blocks away. Older family members truly benefited from the ramp leading to the bedrooms from outside the home . Also from the walk-in showers We had everything we needed. Beds were very comfy as were the sofa and chairs. Susan was an amazing host who communicated quickly to answer questions and a special request. Overall, very happy we choose to stay at this historic home
