About this home
Historic District Lakefront Gem in Lake Helen. Step back in time with this designated historic district home built in 1914, beautifully situated on nearly one acre of pristine lakefront property on Lake Helen. Once occupied by the author of “Lake Helen, The Gem of Florida,” this residence blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates.

Inside, you’ll find 4 spacious bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, featuring restored heart pine floors (2016) and oversized wavy glass windows (2016) that flood the home with natural light. Sixteen new windows (2023), two new HVAC units Air Handlers and Condensers (2024), and a brand-new roof (2024) provide peace of mind for years to come.
