211 Cassady STREET, Umatilla, FL, 32784 | $465,000

This home, during the golden hours of the evening, calls to you. . . Yes, it is immaculately maintained and yes, it is beautiful at any time of day. Regardless, you simply can not miss the opportunity to experience this home in as the sun begins to hang lower in the sky. Bring your pocket-watch, mint julip and step back into a simpler time for this showing! This impeccably preserved 1920 Craftsman home sits on a coveted CORNER LOT and exudes historic charm. The wrap-around covered porch (with multiple swings) provides a breezy shaded refuge from the Florida sun. Inside the front door, you’ll find the perfect combination of historic details and modern amenities, from the hardwood floors and original fireplace to the high ceilings, archways, paneled doors, glass doorknobs and an abundance of custom millwork. You (and your insurance company) will appreciate that the plumbing and electrical have been updated to code. The updated kitchen features timeless quartz countertops with a slab backsplash, 42-inch cabinetry, stainless steel appliances (gas range) and a breakfast nook. There is plenty of room for your custom island! Both the formal dining room and the living room have access to the massive wrap-around porch for entertaining. Down the hall, the beautiful downstairs primary bedroom boasts seven windows and includes an ensuite with a bathtub. You’ll get lost in the square footage upstairs, which offers 5 spacious bedrooms and 2 more full bathrooms (1 claw-foot tub, 1 shower). Back downstairs, there’s also a dedicated study/home office that could become another bedroom. On the exterior, you’ll find a portico for the car, and guests pass through one of 2 garden trellises before coming on the front porch. There are lots of landscaped flower beds, and the property is lined by towering trees for plenty of privacy and shade. Umatilla is a community full of historic homes as well as a few small lakes. You’ll be less than 1/2 mile of schools and parks, with numerous shopping & dining options just a short drive away. This affordable city is located a few miles north of Lake Yale and Lake Eustis, part of Central Florida’s famous chain of lakes. Less than 1 hour to the beach, too!
