Property Description

Own a nationally recognized piece of Fruitland Park history on the shores of Mirror Lake. Known as Hill Crest, this distinctive residence is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is associated with W. A. Rooks, one of the city’s founders. Historic records date the home to 1883 and note 1901 alterations that introduced Craftsman influences to its Frame Vernacular and Colonial Revival character. The two-story residence offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths and approximately 3,175 square feet of living space on approximately 2.70 acres. Original wood flooring extends through much of the home and up the grand staircase, while custom trim, intricate moldings, formal living and dining rooms, two wood-burning fireplaces and a spacious second-floor bonus room preserve its timeless appeal. The remodeled kitchen adds modern function with white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a closet pantry and a vented chimney hood. Outdoor features include Mirror Lake frontage, fenced acreage, covered parking and a detached outbuilding with flexible workshop or storage potential. Hill Crest offers a rare combination of architectural distinction, acreage, waterfront setting and everyday livability. For its next owner, Hill Crest is not simply an address. It is an opportunity to become the steward of a Florida landmark—and to write the next chapter of a story that began in the nineteenth century.
