Experience Old Florida at its best! Built in 1898, this lovingly maintained home is on the National Register of Historic Homes. Shaded by centuries old Live Oaks, the front porch overlooking the park beckons you to slow down and enjoy a simpler era. Step back in time into the foyer with its grand staircase and antique heart pine floors. A large fireplace and bay window in the formal living room create an inviting space to gather with friends and family, and entertaining is a breeze in the formal dining room. Curl up with a book in the light filled and shelf lined den with views of the back yard, porch and brick patio. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious owner's suite, two large bedrooms with additional storage space that could be converted to another bathroom and a true sleeping porch! This Victorian beauty is a three-block walk to Orange and Lochloosa lakes, 14,000 unspoiled acres known for fine bass fishing. Conveniently located a short, 20 minute drive to either Ocala or Gainesville, McIntosh is a quaint town offering the finest in small-town living in the rolling hills of thoroughbred country.
