8441 E ORANGE AVENUE

Welcome to this beautiful home located in a strategic location in the heart of Historic Floral City, situated on the National Landmark ‘Avenue of the Oaks.’ This property has been completely remodeled and restored, featuring a brand new kitchen with new cabinets, elegant light fixtures, a double basin farmhouse sink, and all new appliances (range, refrigerator, dishwasher), among other upgrades. It also comes with a transferable termite protection policy. This property was once the home of Capt. W.C. Zimmerman, the first Clerk of Court in Citrus County, who played a role in recognizing Inverness as the present County Seat. Zoned (CLC), it can be used for both commercial and residential purposes. In the past, it has functioned as a home, art gallery, bed & breakfast, and upholstery shop. The wrap-around porch has three entrances. The main door opens into an entry hallway with three rooms/offices, one common area, a half-bath, a back deck, and access to the remaining areas. A second front door leads to a fourth office/room, which can be separated from the other rooms. The third entrance brings you directly into the large central common area of the building. This common area could serve as a kitchen, dining room, conference room, or be divided into additional rooms or offices. The master bedroom/breakroom has a full bath and its own entrance to the back deck. Additionally, there is a large attached workshop/storage/entertainment/garage area. This Victorian farmhouse features a double fireplace and 12’ ceilings throughout, with handcrafted wooden arches over the original bay windows and the common area. The property retains its historic charm with original hardwood floors, ceilings, walls, doors, and windows. It is partially fenced and can accommodate over 30 vehicles. The building offers endless possibilities, making it ideal for retail, professional business, service, medical, accounting, real estate, day care, or as an iconic restaurant, coffee shop, retreat, and more. It is located a block away from the 46+ mile Withlacoochee State Trail, attracting bicyclists, hikers, and other outdoor enthusiasts. The property neighbors the Heritage Museum, FC Library, Duval House, as well as restaurants, shops, and local businesses, and is approximately half a mile from the boat ramp on the Chain of Lakes. While the property is in the Historic District, it is not on the National Register of Historic Places. For more information on permitted uses, see the Property Info Package.
