809 POINSETTIA DR Eustis, FL 32726

Old-world charm with a modern feel. Every home has a story to tell, and this historic 1926 Spanish-style bungalow tells a story all its own. Based on public records, this home was built by the Vogt Family in 1926 after they purchased the land from the Ferran family in 1925. Edgar L. Ferran will forever be remembered in Eustis by the lakefront park that bears his name. His business, Ferran’s Department Store, was also a Eustis staple for decades. The Ferran’s moved to Eustis in 1884, just nine years after Eustis became a city in 1875 (Originally known as Pendryville). This historic, immaculate, move-in ready home has been meticulously maintained and updated with tasteful modern finishes whilst retaining the nostalgia of days past. Some of the most recent improvements include new roof 2022, new deck 2022, new fencing 2017, new window awnings 2021, termite tenting treatment 2015, AC 2010 and termite bond with Massey since 2019. The main level features two bedrooms and two full baths, formal living room, formal dining room, family room and kitchen. While there is no access to the basement level from the interior of the home, this allows complete privacy for the lower level that houses the third bedroom, potential fourth bedroom or office space, flex /living space as well as a laundry room. This creates a unique option for an in-law suite, home office, gym, yoga room or home theater. There is currently no bath on the basement level, however water supply and drains are easily accessible. With a little imagination and creativity, you could design this space to accommodate your specific needs. The main living area of the home is warm and inviting. The plentiful windows allow natural light to bring out the shine of the wood flooring, bringing to life the neutral paint tones to create a light, airy feel. The wood-burning fireplace gives a stately appearance and is a fantastic focal point for the formal living room. The master suite is spacious and features French doors that open to the sundeck at the rear of the home. Both baths have been fully renovated, making the best use of the space and featuring clean modern finishes. Staying true to the period, the kitchen area is of a smaller footprint yet features all the modern conveniences one would expect for everyday ease of living. The spacious yard also features a hot tub for relaxing evenings. Located in the heart of Eustis, this home sits a mere 320 feet from Lake Gracie. Popular with local fitness enthusiasts, the distance around the lake is approximately one mile, making it a popular track for walkers, joggers, runners and cyclists. This home sits less than one mile from Eustis High School and Eustis Elementary School. Downtown Eustis is only minutes away providing options for dining, shopping and entertainment. It's rare to see a historic home of this condition come to market. Call your REALTOR® today to schedule a private tour.
