Vintage home in historic Melrose, Florida! Original brick sidewalk leading up to a Craftsman-style home
built in 1926 at the corner of Quail and Park Streets. Classic high ceilings, original (gorgeous) wooden
floors throughout, a working brick fireplace, classic chandeliers and french doors with glass knobs are
just a few of the special features in this home. A remodeled kitchen and screened porch additions with
pine floors were added mid-1990’s.
The current configuration of a 2/1 could very easily become a 3/2, considering the two carpeted bonus
rooms. Other features include a metal roof, large outbuilding/garage, original double-hung windows with
rippled glass, built-in cabinets in the dining room, a large fenced in yard (great for children/pets), the corner
lot has paved roads on each side, a fabulous claw-foot tub on the bathroom, and an abundance of charm.
Step back into another era where time and town seem to have stood still. Come take a walk around the
heart of this historic, quiet neighborhood. Visit Melrose Bay Park, the only public beach on the 6,000
acre Lake Sante Fe, only two blocks from this historic home. Put in a small john boat at the boat landing,
also only 4 blocks from this historic home, or use one of the other two nearby boat ramps to access Lake
Santa Fe. Skiing, swimming, fishing, wake boarding, paddle boarding --- all within reach.
