Property Description
Built in 1951, this 2 bedroom/ 2 bath home was originally the former home of the daughter of Arnold Palmer's (the famous golfer). Just 3 blocks from the Historic Thomas Center, this home was purchased by the 2nd owner in January of 1980. At that time, it underwent an amazing transformation with only the absolute best and latest technology that the 70's offered. Today, this home is an amazing time capsule of that bygone era. One step into the master suite and you will know that they don't make them like this anymore. Sink into 100 ounce carpeting that still looks brand new! Avocado green, of course. Those jetted tubs in that roman bath still work. The kitchen is certainly a taste of the past and all of the appliances are in good working order. The second bedroom was transformed into a Gym/office. With wall to wall mirrors and equipment built right into the walls. 3D Virtual Tour available. Car enthusiasts, this home has a 3+ car garage measuring 832 sq ft. that was built and permitted (an absolute rarity in the Historic Duckpond Neighborhood). You can park 3 cars and still have room for your worktables plus plenty of attic storage available in the garage attic (You may want to talk to the city to see if this can be turned into a MIL suite). Unlike many homes in the Duckpond, this double corner lot has plenty of street parking as well. Know that this home is a BEAST. According to the seller, this concrete block home has been insulated plus stone placed on top of that, giving an estimated rating of R37 insulation. Which means this home is not only energy efficient, it's quiet. You can close the door and leave the noise behind. Not to worry, there are plenty of modern conveniences as well since the AC, tankless water heater, and the garage roof have all been updated. Leave as is or remodel the whole thing to your liking. You won’t beat the Duckpond Historic District, close to downtown with its vibrant night life, restaurants and theatre or enjoy walking or biking through the Hawthorne Trail or Depot Park. Houses for sale in this district don’t come around often. This is your opportunity to live in a custom, one-of-a-kind home.
