What we call the "Country Farmhouse" now is a charming 4 bedroom/4 bathroom Retreat for city dwellers. Just a short beautiful country drive from many of SW Florida's costal communities and a Sunday Drive to and from Florida's East Cost Ocean Drives, Martin and Palm Beach County. Located in Desoto County's Historic Downtown District and a Gateway to many destinations. This beauty has a lot of history dating back to its original Pioneer Days and is a classic cracker house. Fully restored, remodeled. Additions have been made to meet all codes and from a builders perspective true to form from its original beginning's. Two additional bathrooms and a summer kitchen were designed to provide the luxury and practicality of a bed and breakfast where each bedroom has its own entrance and private full bath. The upgrades include a converted gas fireplace, all modern stainless steel appliances including washer and dryer. The summer kitchen has been adorned with a functional 20's gas stove and range also for added cooking an electric double oven and a second refrigerator and the much in demand cast iron sink with a double basin, double wash board with wide apron and high back. All bathroom and kitchen fixtures have also been updated in vintage styles. The main kitchen equipped with its own gas oven range. This amazing home can easily be divided into two separate living quarters as it has access from the summer kitchen to an attic apartment suite with 2 large bedrooms and full bath. Also has a step out terrace for sun bathing and/ or midnight fresh air. There is also the great American wrap around porch that opens to a back deck private for sunning and a screened in porch area at the front of the house that can also be easily converted to a closed in summer room if desired. The side porch overlooks the butterfly garden that always provides a comfortable east to west breeze even in the summer's highest heat with the help of fans. The garden is what makes this property special. Designed with walking paths and pergolas, benches and picnic tables, patios with bistros tables, all ideal for entertaining. A spectacular double lofted barn shed has been converted to a finished library that is equipped with a/c and plumbing, vanity sink and outdoor shower. Also a perfect, lovely spot for taking summer naps that overlooks the garden or used as a special place for serving meals.
