On the upper level there is a renovated efficiency unit featuring a private rear entrance. This property has substantial upgrades to electric and plumbing. Each unit has a separate electric meter. Enjoy the “Old Florida” charm of Arcadia. Located about an hour east of Sarasota, this historic "cowboy town" in DeSoto County is known for cattle ranching, it also has a massive antique district and abounds with 19th century architecture. While visiting Downtown Arcadia you will discover 58 blocks of historic 19th and early 20th century brick buildings, quaint antique shops, small cafes, and tea rooms, while it still offers great shopping opportunities at local the Publix, Walmart and Bealls. On the 4th Saturday of every month, downtown hosts a large antique fair drawing collectors from near and far. Annual attractions include the All-Florida Championship Rodeo held in March and the Watermelon Festival in March. The Peace River runs right past Arcadia and offers an exceptional destination for outdoor enthusiasts. There are blackwater streams, massive moss-draped cypress trees, and rich geological history and is most famous for its premier wilderness paddling, distinct fossil hunting opportunities, and extensive riverside camping. If you also enjoy the beautiful Gulf beaches, Manasota Key is just a little over an hour's drive. This location truly has all the good life has to offer.

Historic charm on the outside, beautiful updates waiting for you inside! Located just minutes from Arcadia’s famous historic downtown, this four-bedroom, three-bathroom home has the character you want with many of the interior updates already done. Step inside and you’ll find a remodeled interior with fresh, updated spaces throughout, with most of the renovations completed in or around 2025. The floor plan offers plenty of room to spread out, whether you need extra bedrooms, a home office, guest space, or simply room for everyday life. Outside, the wide front porch feels exactly right for a home like this, while the large yard gives you plenty of room to enjoy the property. There’s also a circle driveway, one-car carport, and an additional building in the backyard that could be used for storage, a workshop, office, playroom, or whatever extra space you’ve been wishing you had. The shingle roof was replaced in 2022, checking another big item off the list. The exterior is ready for some elbow grease, fresh paint, and a good scrub, but that’s where the opportunity comes in. A little exterior love could completely transform this home and let all of that historic character shine again. If you’ve been looking for an older Arcadia home with personality, space, major interior improvements already completed, and a location close to everything we love about downtown, this one deserves a look.
