Open House Saturday in Sanford: 1010 Hickory Avenue (12–2:30 PM)

Brand-new construction in a historic neighborhood, under $350,000, with no homeowners association fees. That combination almost never happens in Central Florida right now. 1010 Hickory Avenue is a cottage-style 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home built in 2025 in Sanford's Georgetown Historic District — and this Saturday, the front door is open.

This Saturday, June 7th from 12:00 to 2:30 PM, I'm hosting an open house here. No appointment needed — just come by.

What Makes This Home Stand Out

Walk up the covered front porch and through a 9-foot entry door — the kind of detail that tells you the builder was paying attention. Inside, 9¼-foot ceilings make the open floorplan feel bigger than its square footage. The great room flows directly into the kitchen with no walls breaking the sightline, and natural light pours in through oversized windows on three sides.

The kitchen is built to work. A large island with solid surface countertops anchors the space, flanked by white shaker cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and pendant lighting. There's enough counter and cabinet space here for someone who actually cooks — not just reheats. The layout puts the kitchen at the center of the home, which is exactly where it belongs.

Both bathrooms are finished with the same level of care you'd expect in a home at twice this price. The primary bathroom features a dual-sink vanity with solid surface counters, black hardware throughout, and a walk-in glass shower with patterned tile floors that give the room genuine character. Every fixture is new. Every surface is clean. There's nothing to update.

The primary bedroom is generously sized with its own ceiling fan, natural light from two windows, and a door that opens directly to the en suite. The two additional bedrooms each have built-in closets and the same luxury vinyl flooring that runs throughout the home. Ceiling fans in every bedroom. Central air conditioning. A dedicated laundry room. An attached one-car garage. This is a complete home — move in with a mattress and a set of dishes and you're set.

The Georgetown Historic District

Georgetown is one of Sanford's oldest and most storied neighborhoods — and one that's seeing real investment right now. New construction homes are going up alongside historic properties, and the area blends the character of an established community with the energy of a neighborhood that's growing. You're minutes from downtown Sanford's waterfront, restaurants, and the Riverwalk, with easy access to I-4 and the SunRail commuter station.

• County: Seminole
• Schools: Hamilton Elementary (7/10, 0.56 mi) · Sanford Middle · Seminole High
• Commute: Minutes to I-4 and SunRail Sanford station
• Internet: AT&T Fiber available (up to 5,000 Mbps)
• Construction: Block and stucco — concrete block construction, not frame

Why This Matters for Buyers Right Now

New construction under $350,000 with no homeowners association and FHA/VA eligibility is a rare combination in Seminole County in 2026. The annual property tax is $969 — less than $81 per month. The estimated total monthly cost at list price is roughly $2,000. For a first-time buyer, a veteran using their VA benefit, or anyone relocating to Central Florida who wants something brand new without a $400,000+ price tag, this checks every box.

Open House Details

Directions: From I-4, take Exit 101C for SR-46 East toward Sanford. Continue east on SR-46 / West 1st Street. Turn right (south) onto Hickory Avenue. The home will be on your left.
