This is my foray into the world of suburban house hunting and my endless battle with normalcy and sameness.

This glorious Victorian house is nestled in the heart of the Historic District near downtown White Springs. The White Springs historic district was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. Although a quaint town, White Springs has made its mark on the map with its history including Florida’s Riverboat era (1870-1910), the Sheffield log hotel and spring house and other luxury hotels constructed in the late 1800’s.
This house on River Street, is just a hop (literally walking distance) from the world famous Suwannee River. You can enjoy an array of activities including canoeing, kayaking, fishing, camping, diving, swimming and enjoying the White Sulfur springs.
Just around the corner is the White Springs visitors’ center and Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center. There are miles of hiking trails, acres of camping and access to cabins. On the Craft Square you can see handcrafting skills of quilters, stained glass making and many other trades.
The house sits on just under ½ acre and has a beautiful custom brick walkway and open patio in the back. Mature foliage lines the grounds and a majestic oak tree provides wonderful shade in the backyard. There are several entrances to this house and two of them are located on private balconies off two of the bedrooms upstairs.
The interior has been carefully improved and conforms to its historic values. 12 foot ceilings on the first floor have been painted and ceiling medallions and decorative cornices add the perfect touch. The first floor has both a formal living room and a library/study. Another room off the main hall can be used as an office or bedroom. The dining room is formal and contains a bay window. Across the hall you will find a true “galley” kitchen and pantry.
A gorgeous stairway winds to the second floor where you will find additional bedrooms and baths. This house would make a perfect bed and breakfast! The beautiful master bedroom has a bay window and sitting area. The ceilings on the second floor are stained throughout. You can stay warm in the winter with 5 fireplaces throughout, 2 of which are propane gas ready.
A covered front porch, combination architectural shingle and metal roof and so much more than you can ask for!
This house was once zoned for commercial usage. It housed a bed and breakfast, a physician’s office and office space at one point. The property may still be zoned for commercial purposes.
