Property Description

Welcome to this iconic 1925 Spanish Colonial in the coveted Biltmore-Cumberland Historic District of Lake Hollingsworth. Dressed in stucco, columns, and graceful arches, this residence stands as an anchor of neighborhood history and architectural character. Known as the Ludd M. Spivey House, this property once belonged to the Florida Southern College president who invited Frank Lloyd Wright to redesign the campus. It’s said that Wright himself visited this home, meeting in the arched, sunken living room that still radiates timeless charm. The main home offers 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms across 2,842 sq. ft., blending historic warmth with modern comfort. A moody hallway illuminated by gold globe lighting leads to the bedrooms, including a Jack-and-Jill suite and a spacious primary just across from a full bath. A flex room or office with French doors and a wood-burning fireplace anchors the front of the home and opens onto a welcoming front porch. At the heart of the home lies a 2021 remodeled kitchen, surrounded by natural light and backsplash tile reaching to the ceiling. Outfitted with Thermador appliances, including a 36” gas range, convection microwave, and designer hood vent, this kitchen boasts quartz waterfall countertops and a generous island with bar seating. Engineered hardwood floors flow throughout, creating a seamless and cohesive design. Outdoors, a resurfaced pool with tanning shelf, Spanish-style tile, and lush new landscaping form an inviting private oasis. The 555 sq. ft. guest apartment includes a 1-bedroom layout with a living room, kitchen, and full bath — ideal for guests or rental income. Situated on nearly half an acre, this historic home comes with a new roof installed prior to closing, ensuring both preservation and peace of mind. Enjoy proximity to Lake Hollingsworth, Florida Southern College, local eateries like The Peach House, and Black & Brew, making this residence a perfect blend of history, style, and location.
