About this property

Florida Farmhouse- Sanford Historic District

The Florida Farmhouse, built in 1902, is a 2800 sq ft home located in the Historic District. A five minute walk from downtown, The Farmhouse puts you close to many great restaurants, craft breweries, quaint shops and entertainment venues. A great place to stay if your family or group of friends are in Sanford for reunions, weddings, sporting events, or whatever brings you to Celery City. The Farmhouse has a very open, sprawling layout. The dining room seats 12-14 if you want to get cozy (8 chairs plus 2 benches). The fully equipped kitchen has additional seating for 6. This flows into the centerpiece of the group gathering place- a huge great room with Smart TV and Bluetooth sound system. The home features 2 master suites, 2 bedrooms and a loft. One of the bedrooms has adjoining bonus room for both sleeping and secondary entertainment (it has a trundle bed and a 2nd television). Two very unique and compelling features of this home are the handicap and pet accommodations. There is a handicap ramp that provides access to one of the master suites. The bathroom in that suite has a walk/roll in shower- no curb or tub side to interfere with access, and plenty of room to maneuver. It also has a built in bench, safety rails and hand held shower head. Also, there is a built-in dog kennel- a 3 ft by 8 ft climate controlled, tiled space in the laundry room with a gate. Sanford Paw Park is just one block away and many of the venues downtown are dog friendly. Or- if you want to explore on your own and leave Fido home you can do so, knowing he is tucked away safely in his own little bedroom.

60th birthday/Thanksgiving
We had a wonderful few days at Susan’s house in Sanford. My brother’s and my families stayed in the farmhouse as we have other siblings and our mom who live locally. It was perfect for our needs. Susan even dropped off some cooking equipment that she thought we might need. I will definitely stay here in the future if needed.

The house was perfect for our extended family stay--very spacious, clean and the beds were comfortable. The owner thought of every detail to make our stay enjoyable. The house is walking distance to the historic Sanford district. We need to come back so that we can explore the town!

Just like home!
We were in town for our daughter's wedding with our kids and grandkids. The house was perfect for us all to enjoy family time under one roof! The house was stocked with a great coffee bar, lots of nice bedding, xtra blankets and pillows and dishes. The kids really enjoyed trying to catch lizards out in the fenced backyard. The house is super close to great coffee shops and restaurants but it still felt like a private home. We loved the food from Christo's and the coffee from Palette! Everything was wonderful and the exit plan was easy. I was able to contact the owners with any questions and they responded with a quick call to check on us. So nice! Would stay again and recommend!!

It was a maze at first. But turned into amazing stay.
Property is well maintained. Everything was there that is necessary. But could have used more plates that are microwave safe. There were plenty of plates but just not what you put in the microwave. A suggestion to the owners. It would’ve been nice if all the bathrooms had a permanent dispenser for liquid soaps shampoo and conditioners. That way you can top it off after each guest leaves. Because not everyone carries all that as it’s usually available at their stay where ever it may be. Overall it was a nice pleasant stay. Family enjoyed staying together. It was well supplied with laundry detergent and dishwasher pods. Five star review!!!

Perfect place in Sanford
Beautiful old home! Walking distance to downtown Sanford restaurants and shops. We had a total of 7 adults and it worked out perfectly. Large kitchen for cooking, large dining room and living room. Clean and neat. Also a large back deck for cooking and eating outside with a grill

Super nice, clean and spacious. Convenient to many restaurants and services like grocery stores and so forth. Previous guests had left some provisions/non-perishables making our community cooking efforts very satisfying. Would enjoy the opportunity of staying in this property again.

Better than advertised!
Really cute house built in 1901 with enough renovation to make it super comfortable but without losing the feel of a great house built in 1901. It had way more space and bed than we needed! The bed were all really comfortable. The living room couch also got an A+ for comfort. It is walking distance to Down town Sanford which seems to be having a really nice revival. We ate at the "The Old Jailhouse" which is a must but make a reservation. Great food and amazing setting. Overall, I would absolutely stay again and the owner was very friendly and open to any communication needed.
