About the host
Hosted by Perrin Hardee
Why they chose this property
The charming historic homes of Sanford and the friendly residents are why we chose this community to host. There are always plenty of things to do each weekend with events like the Farmer's Market, concerts, festivals, arts & crafts fairs and many more. Located in a golf cart district, guests are invited to rent a golf cart to get the full "Sanford'ing" experience.
What makes this property unique
We lovingly renovated the entire home in 2023, updating all the electrical, HVAC, the kitchen and downstairs flooring, driveway and landscaping. The original house was only a one bedroom when built in 1925, and in 1947 the front porch and primary bedroom was added on to the front. In the past several years, the laundry room and 2nd bath were added on to the back of the house.
