Nestled between the quiet streets of Oak and Elm in Sanford’s historic district, the C.H. Martin House—a Craftsman-style home built in 1909—combines classic “Old Florida” character with modern updates, offering charm, comfort, and practical living. This home features original hardwood floors, 10-inch baseboards, crown molding, original windows, and a working gas fireplace. The bathroom includes updated fixtures and a newly tiled shower, while the renovated tongue-and-groove ceilings in the living room and primary bedroom add a fresh, modern touch. The timeless kitchen features granite countertops, a farmhouse-style sink with an instant hot water dispenser, and a center island with extra storage. New appliances—including a dishwasher and refrigerator—are paired with a gas stove, making the space both stylish and functional for everyday living. All appliances, including washer and dryer, are included. The home has been thoughtfully maintained with a 2019 roof, Rinnai gas tankless water heater, brand-new air ducts, attic and floorboard insulation, rodent-proofing, and a 2024 termite treatment with a transferable bond. Outside, the backyard is fully fenced with a privacy fence, and the home features both front and back porches to enjoy the outdoors. Both front and back yards feature brand-new irrigation and low-maintenance Florida-native landscaping, while the detached 170 sq. ft. shed offers plenty of space for a golf cart, bikes, or other toys. Located in a golf-cart-friendly zone, the home is just a 10-minute walk—or 2-minute drive—to Downtown Sanford’s award-winning restaurants, parks, and community events. Ready to move in, the C.H. Martin House is one of the district’s most affordable, updated historic homes on the market, making this a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history.
