LAKEFRONT HISTORIC HOME ON 6.35 ACRES FEATURING A PRIVATE COMMUNITY AIRSTRIP. Built in 1925, this historic home was the former Polk City Railroad Station. The home was moved to it's present location several years ago, which was no easy task because the structure was made of concrete and steel weighing 180 tons. At it's new location, a garage with guest quarters above was added and built to match the original Spanish stucco design. The new owners have also added a swimming pool which overlooks the expansive lawn and picturesque lake. The swimming pool forms the centerpiece of the estate, inviting owners and guests to relax and enjoy this tropical oasis. Soaring ceilings and abundant windows allow plenty of natural light into the home. A spiral stairway connects the main living area to the upstairs loft, which may be used as a bonus room or additional bedroom. The oversized Master Bedroom opens to the pool, and features a huge Master Bathroom with dual vanities and plenty of storage space. The spacious Kitchen has large picture windows offering a magnificent view of the lake and nearby wooded area. The 2nd Bedroom features a private bathroom. Separate Guest House contains a kitchen and full bathroom. The tile roof was replaced in 2015. A private airstrip is located in front of the home. Use of the airstrip is to be approved by the other homeowners. The Van Fleet Trail is just steps from the front door, and offers miles of walking/hiking/bicycling trails. Printed historic information available.
