    Discover timeless charm and exceptional potential with this 1935 cottage located at 130 W Pennsylvania Avenue in Lake Helen. Situated within the Downtown Commercial District (DCD) and part of the city's Historic Gateway corridor, the property offers unique flexibility with the potential for short-term rental use, live-work opportunities, or the thoughtful restoration of a classic Florida cottage. The main home features 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath, showcasing original pine wood floors, a metal roof, classic gable architecture, and a welcoming front porch reflective of its era. While the home is ready for updates and improvements, its character and setting provide a wonderful canvas for those looking to restore and personalize a charming piece of Central Florida history. Beyond the main residence, a detached 24 × 12 shed with electricity and air conditioning provides flexible space that could serve as a workshop, studio, hobby room, creative workspace, or private office. An additional structure on the property offers space for storage or potential use as an animal enclosure. Set on a generous 72 × 146 lot, the property provides ample outdoor space for gardening, animals, expansion, or outdoor enjoyment. Mature trees and peaceful surroundings add to the quiet charm that makes Lake Helen so special. Offered as-is and priced to sell, this property presents an appealing opportunity for investors, renovation buyers, or those seeking a flexible property with income potential in a unique small-town setting. Located in the charming city of Lake Helen, often referred to as the "Gem of Florida," the area is known for its historic homes, tree-lined streets, and relaxed small-town atmosphere. Nearby are City Hall, Blake Park, the Lake Helen Equestrian Center, and local shops, while Lake Helen itself offers a public boat launch and fishing for largemouth bass, bluegill, and crappie. Whether you envision restoring a classic cottage, creating a rental opportunity, or establishing a live-work retreat, this property offers the chance to enjoy the character and charm that make Lake Helen such a special place to call home. DISCLAIMER Property is located within the Lake Helen Historic Gateway corridor and is zoned DCD (Downtown Commercial District). Short-term rentals with a minimum 30-day rental period may be permitted; however, buyers are advised to verify all zoning regulations, rental restrictions, and permitted uses directly with the City of Lake Helen. All room sizes, measurements, and property details are approximate and should be independently verified by the buyer.
