Historic

When it is noon in New York it is still 1904 in this Umatilla charmer! This impeccably cared for home, has been passed down from generation to generation from the early settlers of Umatilla. It is now available to be treasured by a new family and add a new chapter. This historically significant home is nestled on 1.8 acres of landscaped perfection. Appropriately updated to accommodate today’s lifestyle but with no detriment to the early 1900’s appeal. The grand entrance and wrap around porches on the 1st and 2nd floor move you back in time. You'll love the locally cut and milled heart of pine floors throughout the home. So many photo shoots of weddings, graduations and family gatherings have been taken here. This home has been updated with central air, but was designed to stay cool with 9 foot ceilings throughout and 8 foot wide hallways that are situated east-to-west and north-to-south to allow for natural airflow that pre-dates our modern cooling systems. This home provides all the amenities with a modern kitchen including a gas stove, important because you will be entertaining here! Formal dining room, reception room, sitting parlor and a master bedroom or office with Jack-and-Jill bath round out the first floor. Upstairs offers 4 bedrooms, including one a very large master suite and 2 more full baths. The third floor is unfinished space but about big enough to use as a ballroom, it is being used for storage of family heirlooms at present. An attic vent-fan will pull any warm air out lickity-split. Over the carriage house is a one bedroom / one bath apartment or mother-in-laws suite complete with a full efficiency kitchen and an outdoor deck that overlooks the rear gardens and grounds. (2 car spaces below available for parking) Full stand up crawl space under the entire house. There are land grants signed by presidents who could never imagine the recent Wedding venue which accommodated 250 seated guests. This home is spotlighted in the book Umatilla Florida, Images of America. This property has no limits just like the settlers that made it what it is today!!!
