I have such conflicting feelings about fixer uppers. On the one-hand, I feel terribly that they’ve ever gotten to this state. It sucks knowing that they’ve been forgotten and abandoned. On the other, I get excited knowing that there might be someone out there who loves old houses that wants to bring it back to its golden years. Just take one look at that foyer and tell me that this house shouldn’t be saved. It could be so grand! It’s far too beautiful to be forgotten about.

From the listing
Magnolia Manor! It is one of the most interesting older homes in Butler County. Built around 1866 by Holden Evans, a lumberman who had large sawmills in W Florida. The home was constructed with only the finest lumber. Very little has been done to change the original footprint of the home. The name Magnolia Manor came from the ten Magnolia trees that were planted by Captain Evans when the house was built. A standout feature is the beautiful spiral staircase in the front hall. The ceilings have heavy moldings and beautiful plaster frescos. The gorgeous heart pine floors are in wonderful condition. The most recent update was done in the 1970s and the house was occupied until recently.
