701 1ST STREET NE

FORT MEADE, FL 33841

Step into a piece of history and make it your own. The heavy lifting’s already been done. This 1911 Classical Revival is one of the most recognized homes in town — now ready for its next chapter. Sitting on nearly an acre (.80 acre) across *two parcels* in one of Polk County’s fastest-growing cities, it also gives you the chance to build another home next door or RV parking. You’ve got over 4,500 sq ft, including 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and a finished top floor game room that could easily be a 6th bedroom. Two bedrooms and two baths are downstairs, both with oversized walk-in closets — perfect for multi-gen living or guests. Upstairs has 3 more bedrooms, 3 full baths, and room for flexibility with pocket doors already framed. Top floor adds another 800 sq ft and is fully finished. The home also includes a wheelchair ramp and lift for easy access. It was taken down to the studs in late 2023 — new systems, modern layout, and priced to move as a cash buy so you can finish it your way. Private carport? Already there — and could be enclosed. You're just 0.7 miles from the local high school. This is a rare chance to own a statement property with size, charm, land, and opportunity — whether you’re adding a guest house, garden, pool, or second build. Re-roofed, all new electric all new plumbing Wood has been replaced in the bulk of the home. Lastly you can customize the kitchen to your liking as it's a blank slate and ready to be made into your forever home. Not many like this left in Polk County.
