Description

Discover timeless charm and exceptional potential in the heart of Lake Helen's Historic District with this 1935 cottage located at 130 W Pennsylvania Avenue. Situated within the Downtown Commercial District (DCD) and part of the city's Historic Gateway, the property offers unique flexibility, including the potential for short-term rental use, live-work opportunities, or thoughtful restoration of a classic Florida cottage. The main home features 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath, showcasing original pine wood floors, classic gable rooflines, and a welcoming front porch reflective of its historic era. While the home is ready for updates and improvements, its character and setting provide a wonderful canvas for those looking to restore and personalize a piece of Central Florida history. Beyond the main residence, a detached 24 × 12 shed with electricity and air conditioning provides flexible space that could serve as a workshop, studio, hobby room, creative workspace, or private office. A separate structure on the property offers additional storage or the potential for use as an animal enclosure. Set on a generous 72 × 146 lot, the property provides ample outdoor space for gardening, animals, expansion, or outdoor enjoyment. Mature trees and peaceful surroundings add to the quiet charm that makes Lake Helen so special. Offered as-is and priced to sell, this property presents an appealing opportunity for investors, renovation buyers, or those seeking a flexible property with income potential in a distinctive historic setting. 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). Short-term rentals with a minimum 30-day rental period may be permitted; however, buyers are advised to verify all zoning regulations, rental restrictions, and permitted uses directly with the City of Lake Helen.
