Description of Property
This is the picture-perfect old Florida cottage you’ve been searching for! This thoughtfully updated home is nestled in the heart of historic downtown Fort Meade, offering a delightful blend of timeless charm and modern convenience. The bright and airy eat-in kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring generous cabinet space, a newer stainless steel refrigerator, and a natural gas stove—perfect for everything from quiet mornings to lively gatherings. Both bedrooms are impressively sized at 14.5 x 14.5, creating comfortable retreats, and tons of closet space for added convenience. The updated bathroom offers a spacious feel, complete with an oversized shower designed for comfort. Sunlight pours into the inviting living room, where a natural gas fireplace adds warmth and character—an ideal setting to unwind at the end of the day. Updated ceiling fans with lighting add a fresh, stylish touch throughout the bedrooms and main living space. Step through the newly installed storm door onto the welcoming front porch, where a classic swing invites you to relax and enjoy the gentle evening breeze. The front steps and porch decking were beautifully redone in 2025, enhancing the home’s curb appeal. Out back, a second porch offers even more versatility, complete with a half bath that could easily be transformed into a full bathroom, with plumbing already in place for a shower or tub. Set on nearly half an acre, the property offers plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors. The RV/boat pad doubles as a perfect spot for entertaining, grilling, or simply relaxing under wide-open, star-filled skies. Two sheds provide excellent storage, with one featuring electricity and a window AC unit—ideal for a workshop or creative space. An additional shed is currently a super-cute chicken coop, or could be made into a garden shed or workshop. Recent upgrades provide peace of mind, including updated plumbing throughout (2023), a new 2.5-ton AC and heating system (2025), and a water heater installed in 2018 with both electric and natural gas options. Come experience the warmth, character, and possibilities this charming home has to offer—schedule your showing today.
