The Time Machine
Imagine if you had an opportunity to go back in time and bring your kids along would you want to? If so, Awesome. If not, Awesome. This home was built in '59. Private driveway and awning. It is a true time capsule. Many of the appliances, furniture and utensils are original with a few updates. In the home, you will find things you may have thought; What ever happened to... Remember when... I wish they still made.. is what you may no longer have to say. Make a TikTok, share an experience, but mostly, make a lasting memory. Located in Central Florida. 60+ minutes to Orlando, Tampa, Vero Beach and more. If you are looking for peace and quiet and far enough away from the hustle of the city and quiet enough to hear the crickets and catch fireflies, this is for you. Come, have fun and relax in this Time Machine. This is not for those looking for modernized luxury. This is for people who lived through the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's. From the Silent Generation and The Baby Boomers to Generation X. This isn't just your grandparents get away pad. This is a walk down memory lane. If you can't live without the items listed below, don't come. No internet, no cable, no cordless phones, no central air conditioning unit. Only a large window unit, a few fans, if you don't know how to crank the windows open on the house, don't like screened doors and don't like the street light that comes on at dusk, definitely, not for you. If silence is what you seek, tranquility is what you will find. A small fire pit outback, a clothes line, and a couple of orange trees with your memories. If you need more room, feel free to use the living room as another place to sleep. Again, only for the true Peace Finders. Those who need to reset, unwind and leave that busy city life behind.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a microwave, and an oven.
