Property Description

Your fairy tale begins right here. Right now. The Dodson House, this 1890's Victorian, is a designated Historical Cultural Monument, No. 147. (it even has it's own Wikipedia page). Lots of history and original architectural style and details, but guess what? It's been restored and updated: kitchen, bathrooms, heating, air conditioning, and more. Lots of living space, 2626 sq ft, includes a formal entry, huge dining room, main floor bedroom and powder room, master suite, and super secret room accessed through the door (disguised as part of the wall)...I wonder what they used to do there?! It lives as a 3 bedroom home with a couple of extra rooms for your office, crafts, and hobbies. The 1890's ooze throughout this home: wrap-around porch, porch swing, stain glass windows, curved stairway, bronze trimmed light fixtures and knobs, and more. Old world charm with modern conveniences. The lot is nearly 10,000 sq ft, and filled with lush landscape and 27 trees: Avocado (they're delicious), Pepper, White Sapote (exotic and delicious), and lots of others...how many can you identify? All this beauty is surrounded by a grassy yard and a white iron decorative fence and gates. Look at the pictures, but you really owe it to yourself to come see it. The owners of this home also get the advantages of the Mills Act, resulting in tax savings, and the preservation of this gorgeous historical monument. Come see a piece of history...and a glass of pink lemonade...now being served on the porch.
