** HUGE PRICE DROP!!! ** Here's a rare chance to own a piece of history. The Shofner home was originally constructed in 1898 by William Shofner and is 1 of only a few historic Dade City homes that still maintains it's late 19th century original architecture. This historic Classic Craftsman home exudes character, workmanship, and architectural detail that is not found in modern day homes. The 1st thing you'll appreciate when entering this home is the expansive wrap around porch with ample room for rocking chairs and porch swing to sit and enjoy the spacious, fenced, corner lot yard. Immediately upon entering you'll be impressed by the detailed 11 baseboards, 5 wide fluted door and window casings with rosettes, and heart of pine original wood floors with a warm finish. Interior space is amplified by the 11' high ceilings. All interior doors are period solid wood doors with antique hinges and hardware. The main focal point of both floors is the double sided wood burning fireplace with brick hearths that serves the living room and dining rooms on the 1st floor and 2 guest bedrooms on the 2nd floor. The primary bedroom and the living room feature a large bay window with the original restoration window glass. Both of the bathrooms are adorned with ball and claw antique iron tubs and shower fixtures, beadboard wainscoting, and have been updated with a relaxing, clean paint pallette. 2nd floor bedrooms all have NEW CARPETING for comfort under foot. The island kitchen offers GAS range, beadboard wainscoting, custom wood cabinetry with glass panel accents, butcher block and solid surface countertops.
