Overview

Steeped in Lake Helen history, this 1914 lakefront bungalow was once the home of the author who penned "Lake Helen, The Gem of Florida," as well as a mayor and post master. This 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home, is built from pine harvested and milled in Lake Helen, and boasts beautifully crafted ceilings, wainscoting and heart pine floors. Oversized wavy glass windows allow you to view the lushly landscaped property which includes a variety of fruit trees. The home has 2 newer HVAC units (2016), upgraded electric (2016) restored heart pine floors throughout (2016), and restored oversize wavy glass windows (2018). With a wrap around porch on three sides you will witness the nesting of sand hill cranes, see eagles fly by and an assortment of other birds and local wildlife. Watch the parades from the front porch and the fireworks over the lake from the dock. Live among artists, historians, master gardeners, naturalists and other interesting residents, both early settlers and new. Situated on almost an acre of land with 190 feet of lakefront this home is a rare find.
