LAKE HELEN, FL 32744
About this home
Built in 1915 and lovingly restored to honor its roots, this rare Historic Lake Helen home sits on over half an acre and delivers the kind of character and craftsmanship that simply cannot be replicated. Step inside and you are greeted by farmhouse style finishes, all new appliances, and thoughtful updates throughout every room. The layout offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 1,666 square feet of beautifully remodeled living space, plus a versatile upstairs loft perfect for a home office, playroom, or guest retreat. New stairs and stair railing were just installed in 2026. The big ticket items are already done for you: roof replaced in 2021, full PEX plumbing re-pipe completed in 2023, two master bedroom windows replaced, and all new hardware throughout. Step outside and the property truly comes alive. A wrap around deck sets the tone for slow mornings and golden hour evenings. The fully fenced backyard provides privacy and peace of mind, and the pool gives you a cool escape all summer long, both installed in 2022. Over half an acre. No HOA headaches. Just space, privacy, and room to breathe. And then there is Lake Helen itself. Known as "The Gem of Florida," this small historic town offers something you simply cannot find in a subdivision: a genuine sense of community. You get the small-town lifestyle with a local café, pizza shop, art studio, parks, and year-round community events. Peaceful and quiet, yet under 30 minutes to the sands of New Smyrna and Daytona Beach, and less than 40 minutes to Orlando. You get the best of both worlds. Opportunities like this, a century old home with updated bones, acreage, a pool, and a lifestyle you cannot manufacture, do not come around often in Lake Helen. Schedule your private showing today.
