About this property
This 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home in Florence offers a rare architectural layout on a private 4.73-acre lot. The distinctive “round house” design showcases a faceted exterior and an interior centered around a massive 360-degree natural stone fireplace. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas wrap seamlessly around this central hearth, creating a spacious and connected living environment. Inside, vaulted ceilings finished with light wood planking rise from the perimeter walls to a central peak, mirroring the home’s unique polygonal footprint. The striking geometric woodwork paired with substantial stone masonry delivers a custom, high-end feel and provides a strong foundation for your finishing touches. The home features three spacious bedrooms and an oversized bathroom, along with a large laundry and utility room offering ample storage and workspace. Water is supplied via a private storage tank that is regularly filled, as there is no municipal water connection. Outside, a detached carport provides covered parking and additional functional space separate from the main home. The 4.73-acre property offers a peaceful rural retreat with room for animals, gardening, or future improvements. Native vegetation thrives throughout the land, including wild onions, wild grapes, blackberries, and chives, adding to the property's natural charm and usability. With major structural character already in place and unique architectural appeal, this property presents a rare opportunity to create a truly one-of-a-kind residence with strong equity potential.
