We are offering a vintage home for lease, built in 1925 and located a few blocks from the famous Howey Mansion in the quiet town of Howey in the hills. Howey in the hills is located on the Harris chain of lakes, famous for bass fishing and pro fishing tournaments. It is relatively close to shopping and less than an hour from Orlando and Ocala via the Florida Turnpike entrance only a few miles away. It is minutes from a private boat ramp, with a key to the chain available to Howey residents for a small yearly charge. The property is fenced with a double gate giving access to a large concrete parking area/patio that is perfect for entertaining or parking a small boat, small commercial vehicle, or work trailer. There is a large shed, about the size of a two-car garage with double wood doors, exhaust fan, two windows and a ceiling fan with lights- perfect for a workshop! The classic beauty of this home is accentuated with hardwood flooring, ten-foot ceilings, antique fixtures, and beautiful wooden doors. All windows have new mini blinds, and some are fully functional of double hung design. There is a large attic for ample storage but not designed for a living space. It incorporates wood flooring, a ceiling fan, and six awning windows for light and ventilation. The small "mud room" area off the kitchen has washer/dryer hookups and access to the back yard, shed and fruit trees. The kitchen is a unique mix of old and new- part with original wood cabinets and drawers and part with solid wood cabinets with soft-close doors and drawers. The large stainless sink, dishwasher, microwave, recessed refrigerator with large storage area above, and vintage light fixtures compliment this spacious area. The living room has a separate area with a built-in bookcase and small desk with a fold down top. Double French doors lead to the screened porch with wood swing. The open living room with non-functioning fireplace connects to the dining room, and has ample natural lighting and antique ceiling fixtures. The second bedroom has a vintage chandelier and walk in closet with its own double hung window, a unique portrayal of 1920's architecture. The spacious master bedroom has a sitting room with wall-to-wall windows on three sides and the option for installation of French doors if desired. The master bedroom closet has two bifold doors, cedar planking on the walls and recessed LED lighting. The master bath has a 4'x5' walk in shower with a small niche for personal bath items. Lighting in the master bath area is from recessed LED lighting, a slide window and LED lighting over the custom fabricated hardwood vanity and above surface sink. Lawn care is included. The tenant responsible for all utilities. Parking is allowed only on paved driveways and easement from sidewalk to street.
