About this property
Florida Farmhouse- Sanford Historic District
The Florida Farmhouse, built in 1902, is a 2800 sq ft home located in the Historic District. A five minute walk from downtown, The Farmhouse puts you close to many great restaurants, craft breweries, quaint shops and entertainment venues. A great place to stay if your family or group of friends are in Sanford for reunions, weddings, sporting events, or whatever brings you to Celery City. The Farmhouse has a very open, sprawling layout. The dining room seats 12-14 if you want to get cozy (8 chairs plus 2 benches). The fully equipped kitchen has additional seating for 6. This flows into the centerpiece of the group gathering place- a huge great room with Smart TV and Bluetooth sound system. The home features 2 master suites, 2 bedrooms and a loft. One of the bedrooms has adjoining bonus room for both sleeping and secondary entertainment (it has a trundle bed and a 2nd television). Two very unique and compelling features of this home are the handicap and pet accommodations. There is a handicap ramp that provides access to one of the master suites. The bathroom in that suite has a walk/roll in shower- no curb or tub side to interfere with access, and plenty of room to maneuver. It also has a built in bench, safety rails and hand held shower head. Also, there is a built-in dog kennel- a 3 ft by 8 ft climate controlled, tiled space in the laundry room with a gate. Sanford Paw Park is just one block away and many of the venues downtown are dog friendly. Or- if you want to explore on your own and leave Fido home you can do so, knowing he is tucked away safely in his own little bedroom.

Wonderful stay. Clean, bright and spacious layout. So may bath towels, a nice coffee bar set up and appreciated the extra soaps, and toiletries. With in walking distance to down town. We all had a very enjoyable stay. Would definitely come back again.
Susan was an amazing host! Great communication and extremely helpful. The farmhouse was spacious yet cozy and comfortable. Everything we needed was provided for our 4 night stay.
The home had everything you could ask for !!
It was also in a great location—. Easy access to downtown Sanford and close to all the restaurants and shops .
Very spacious which was perfect for our family and just what we needed. We did the st John rivership cruise and the house was very close to
Their location.
The house was perfect for our extended family stay--very spacious, clean and the beds were comfortable. The owner thought of every detail to make our stay enjoyable. The house is walking distance to the historic Sanford district. We need to come back so that we can explore the town!
My family had a wonderful time at the farmhouse. It was easy to find, and located close to everything. The kit he. Had everything you could need. The coffee and tea bar was fully loaded. Beds were super comfy and tons of great towels. So happy we booked this place.
The farmhouse has so much room. And located a few blocks from downtown. Walked to our family wedding activities. Comfortable house. We took our dog and he had a huge yard to run around.
House stocked with all the necessities.
We had a wonderful few days at Susan’s house in Sanford. My brother’s and my families stayed in the farmhouse as we have other siblings and our mom who live locally. It was perfect for our needs. Susan even dropped off some cooking equipment that she thought we might need. I will definitely stay here in the future if needed.
Super nice, clean and spacious. Convenient to many restaurants and services like grocery stores and so forth. Previous guests had left some provisions/non-perishables making our community cooking efforts very satisfying. Would enjoy the opportunity of staying in this property again.
Beautiful old home! Walking distance to downtown Sanford restaurants and shops. We had a total of 7 adults and it worked out perfectly. Large kitchen for cooking, large dining room and living room. Clean and neat. Also a large back deck for cooking and eating outside with a grill
Locals wanting to host out of town family for a wedding just blocks away.
Older family members truly benefited from the ramp leading to the bedrooms from outside the home . Also from the walk-in showers
We had everything we needed. Beds were very comfy as were the sofa and chairs.
Susan was an amazing host who communicated quickly to answer questions and a special request.
Overall, very happy we choose to stay at this historic home
Really cute house built in 1901 with enough renovation to make it super comfortable but without losing the feel of a great house built in 1901. It had way more space and bed than we needed! The bed were all really comfortable. The living room couch also got an A+ for comfort. It is walking distance to Down town Sanford which seems to be having a really nice revival. We ate at the "The Old Jailhouse" which is a must but make a reservation. Great food and amazing setting.
Overall, I would absolutely stay again and the owner was very friendly and open to any communication needed.
We were in town for our daughter's wedding with our kids and grandkids. The house was perfect for us all to enjoy family time under one roof! The house was stocked with a great coffee bar, lots of nice bedding, xtra blankets and pillows and dishes. The kids really enjoyed trying to catch lizards out in the fenced backyard. The house is super close to great coffee shops and restaurants but it still felt like a private home. We loved the food from Christo's and the coffee from Palette! Everything was wonderful and the exit plan was easy. I was able to contact the owners with any questions and they responded with a quick call to check on us. So nice! Would stay again and recommend!!
The inside

In response to the most negative review I have ever received. You are correct I need to do some exterior work. Too bad that is what you focused on instead of all the great interior amenities.
