516 W 2nd St

This home has a PIECE OF HISTORY that comes with it! The current owners aunt moved a PART OF THE EXISTING HOME here from downtown where it stood on the CORNER OF 2ND ST AND DIXIE HIGHWAY where it served as a general store and POST OFFICE! It was moved to the present location in approx. 1926, according to family. This block is where the infamous HAY PALACE was located! This 3 BEDROOM HOME has so much going for it from the MASTER BEDROOM and master bath to the location to the PVC FENCE SURROUNDING the property to the back up GAS GENERATOR to the MASSIVE GARAGE! Inside the front door is the living room with OAK HARDWOOD FLOORS. Walking back you will find the REDECORATED KITCHEN with cherry Dacor CUSTOM CABINETS and solid surface counters plus a unique HAMMERED COPPER SINK, stainless steel oven plus a COMMERCIAL EXHAUST FAN and maple floors plus UNDER CABINET LIGHTING. The opening into the large 18'x17' dining room, also with MAPLE HARDWOOD FLOORS, make this area great for ENTERTAINING FRIENDS or family during holidays! Walking through the kitchen gets us to the COMFORTABLE DEN, perfect for reading that book or watching TV after a hard day at work. The den STEPS FORWARD towards the front bedroom and also steps back towards another SECONDARY BEDROOM. Also in the back of the home is the LARGE MASTER BEDROOM which has 2 closets, including a WALK IN CLOSET, plus the master bath. The MASTER BATH has a whirlpool tub and SEPARATE SHOWER which can be used at the same time thanks to the home's TANKLESS WATER HEATER! When walking into the bedroom again, you'll notice the CATHEDRAL CEILING with 4 skylights to stream in more NATURAL LIGHT. Looking out of the windows you'll notice the LARGE SIDE YARD giving you privacy. The MAIN BATHROOM was TOTALLY REDONE in '95. The basement has a SUMMER KITCHEN, 3 basin stainless steel sink, sump pump with WATER PRESSURE BACK UP sump pump that needs to be set up. The den steps outside to the LARGE PATIO for relaxing yourself or with your spouse or with NEIGHBORS AND/OR FRIENDS! Add some PARTY LIGHTS to add some smiles!
