Single Family Home in Archer, Florida

JUST REDUCED!--MUST SELL SOON. This updated and upgraded Victorian sits on 9/10s of an acre. Pre 1875 construction, the home has historical ties to the Atlantic Gulf and West Indies Transit Company. This pre-Civil War  railroad ran from Cedar Key on the Gulf to Fernandina on the Atlantic from 1860 to 1932. Entering the beautiful leaded, stained-glass entry from the wrap-around porch you enter the living room (with it's own leaded glass bay windows), front bedroom, dining or kitchen through one of four doors from the foyer. You will immediately notice the "hartpine" hardwood floors and 11 foot beaded tongue and groove ceilings. The home has 4 fireplaces with the one in the kitchen/family room having a wood burning heater with stainless steel flue. The gourmet kitchen has oak Kraftmade cabinets, a large island and granite counter tops. The office adjacent to the large dining room has a built-in desk with floor to ceiling bookcase. Adjacent to the office is a large storage closet and laundry room. Unlike many old homes, this one has a huge amount of storage areas and closets. Two zoned heat pumps serve both stories with a/c and heat. There is also 2 water heaters on timers serving the two stories.  About 20 years ago a 50 year architectural roof was installed and the 2 1/2 car garage, with work bench, has a heated and cooled bonus room upstairs. The upstairs master suite has a large cedar lined walkin closet and antique claw foot tub in the bath area. The downstairs bathroom is tiled throughout with three pieces of "tile art" by a local artist., It also has dual lavatories and a large walk-in block glass shower and block glass window. As you leave the house on the west side through French doors onto the large canopied porch you see the adorable play house to your right and the 35 foot Koi pond with waterfall to your left. Brick pathways through the gardens or the deck surrounding the pond will take you to the pool, hot tub and cabana, all surrounded by a six foot privacy fence. All grounds and outside water are serviced by well water and the home by city water. Rent-to-own option may be available. Contact this seller
