Welcome to 274 W. Washington Avenue in Lake Helen, the "Gem of Florida", where small-town charm meets thoughtful modern updates. Entering this enchanting 3-bedroom, 1-bath bungalow, you experience a piece of history thoughtfully curated and preserved by a locally renowned traditional home designer. The interior of the home blends classic character with peace of mind improvements, making it ideal for everyday living or a smart investment. Updates include a newer metal roof (2023), updated septic system and drainfield (2023), updated electrical (2025), and a new tankless water heater (2025)—offering efficiency, reliability, and comfort.
