A rural Florida residence that appears to be in the process of being reclaimed by the forest is now for sale.
Located at 1401 E. Lakeview Ave. in Eustis, the house was built in 1926, and was the longtime home of the late Dr. James W. Todd, a well-known local surgeon with a private practice in the area. According to property records, the home is still in the Todd family.
Besides the vertical landscaping, the two-story home also comes with four bedrooms and three bathrooms as well as custom millwork, two fireplaces, a swimming pool in a separate building, a two-car garage and that Florida rarity: a basement.
The home is currently asking $279,000, and is currently under contract but accepting back-up offers, says the listing.
