Step back in time and fall in love with this solidly built 1949 Florida Cracker home, perfectly set on a full acre of land bursting with country charm. Nestled in the historic community of Elwood Park—established in 1915 and lovingly known for its welcoming spirit and the slogan “A Little Bit of Country in the City”—you’ll enjoy the rare freedom of no HOA, no CDD, and no stewardship fees. The sellers have poured time, care, and investment into refurbishing this special property, adding a substantial new garage and updating all the electrical in both the home and garages, including two mounted 50-amp service stations—perfect for your RV, boat, or even hosting guests through "Harvest Hosts". Whether your dream is a hobby farm with fresh eggs and goat’s milk or simply having space for your toys and projects, this home delivers. Inside, original white pine flooring and Sears & Roebuck kitchen cabinets nod to its vintage roots, while charming built-in niches add personality throughout. The inviting back porch practically begs for a glass of sun tea and a slow afternoon. Out back, you’ll find not one but two garages. The first is a versatile “man cave” workshop with a built-in bar, opening to a patio with a sparkling swimming pool and hot tub—ideal for entertaining. The second is a newly built, rock-solid 30' x 30' metal garage with room for all your recreational treasures. Opportunities like this—where Old Florida charm meets modern convenience—are few and far between in Southwest Florida. Don’t miss your chance to own your slice of “a little bit of country in the city.”
