316 N Center St, Perry, FL 32347

Beautiful historic home, in Downtown Perry. Built in 1919 this elegant home is situated on a double city lot, just over half an acre (0.61). Surrounded by mature trees and flowering plants (magnolias, oaks, bamboo, camellias, crepe myrtle) the corner lot though just a short walk to Downtown, offers privacy, particularly from the spacious fenced-in backyard. The impressive home features over 3500 square feet of cooled and heated space, with an additional 650+/- square feet provided by the enclosed back porch. Completely screened and overlooking the backyard, the large porch is ideal for slow mornings and relaxed evenings, any time of the year. 4 bedrooms and an office that is perfectly suited for a 5th bedroom, and 2 full baths (with room for additional baths) make this home a great place for family. One of the upstairs bedrooms boasts a balcony in need of repair, but is quintessential for basking in the sun, enjoying coffee, or reading a book. The primary suite is conveniently located on the first floor, with the 3 additional bedrooms, 1 bath, and the office, upstairs. The main floor provides an impressive living area with a fireplace, a formal dining room with fireplace, and a sunroom, both separated by French doors. The roomy kitchen has ample counter and cabinet space and features a breakfast area that was previously a butler's pantry, connected by a French door and leading into the dining room. Even the kitchen offers the warmth of a brick mantel/fireplace. Spacious and separate laundry room is just off the kitchen. In total, 6 fireplaces create a warm and graceful ambience throughout the home. **Due to hurricane Idalia, the home is being offered as-is and will be a cash sale only. Roof and ceiling damage are present, as well as damage to the 3rd bedroom balcony on the 2nd floor. The need for repairs is reflected in the list price. Buyers are encouraged to conduct thorough inspections to their satisfaction, during the due diligence period.
