102 S TROWELL AVE Umatilla, FL 32784

They simply don't build them like this anymore; this 1900s home is a true testament to old-world craftsmanship. Historic Umatilla - Circa 1913. On land donated by the 1st Mayor of Umatilla, Mr. GV DeVault, this house was constructed from local slow-growth Heart Pine to be used as the First Methodist Church Parsonage. The Church held ownership until 1956 when sold to the family that still retains it. Home needs a complete restoration. Multi-Sided Fireplace downstairs with 3 Fire-Boxes on the central chimney to knock the chill back on those rare cold days in the Parlor, the Sitting Room and the Dining Room, exudes an understated grace. A small Library and Scullery (Kitchen) and a bath finish out the first floor. High ceilings with picture molding that appears to be original on plaster walls and ceiling. The large, wood-framed windows that you would expect, most with original glass. Bedrooms and a full bath upstairs. Beautiful Queen Ann inspired construction has stood the test of time. Sit on the porch with the Colonial Revival Columns and picture the horse and buggies that once rode the street here. If these walls could talk! Home is featured in "Images of America, Umatilla" written by Rebecca Bryan Dreisback page 45. This classic showcases a level of structural integrity and bespoke craftsmanship rarely found in modern builds. Are you the one to restore this old beauty to her days of weddings in the parlor and soirées on her lawn?
