Located within the Lake Helen Historic District, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993, the home is surrounded by preserved architecture and classic small-town Florida character. Nearby are City Hall, Blake Park, the Lake Helen Equestrian Center, and local shops, while Lake Helen itself offers a public boat launch and fishing for largemouth bass, bluegill, and crappie. Known as the "Gem of Florida, " Lake Helen is celebrated for its quiet atmosphere, historic homes, and beautiful tree-lined streets. Whether you envision restoring a historic cottage, creating a short-term rental opportunity, or establishing a live-work retreat, this property offers the chance to become part of Lake Helen's enduring story. ***DISCLAIMER Property is located within the Lake Helen Historic Gateway and is zoned DCD (Downtown Commercial District).
