Introduction
Welcome to the Higgins House Bed and Breakfast Victorian Inn located in downtown Sanford just 20-minutes north of Downtown Orlando. Central Florida has quite a history and Sanford is one of the oldest cities in the state even before downtown Orlando. Tucked aside a brick road, across from beautiful Centennial Park is nestled our lovely Bed and Breakfast Victorian Inn. This Historic Queen Anne Victorian Home is listed on the National Historic Registry circa 1894 and is conveniently located a few short blocks away from downtown Sanford. The brick lined, granite curbed roadway, outstanding service, gourmet food and coffees, and world class beers and wines will commemorate your stay as you turn back time to a culture that accented the simple things in life. But even with simple, there are updates and upgrades. Take our flat panel LCD HDTV in select rooms throughout the Inn (ask for details).
Built in 1894 for James Corcoran Higgins, the superintendent of the railroad in Sanford, the property has been completely restored in to preserve the Victorian Jacobean Architecture design. This 2 story B&B has cross gables with patterned wood shingles, bay windows, turned post and spindle work, upstairs verandah, a large parlor, unique rooms and a beautiful courtyard, all of which is reserved for our guests.
The Higgins House Bed and Breakfast Victorian Inn have spent the past four years collecting as may period specific antiques as possible. Most of the B&B is decorated with late 1800's and early 1900 furnishings with the utmost in care of leaving out the faux antiques that so many places now offer. Our surreal accommodating interior features a large parlor with a Piano and turn of the century antique furnishings along with an elegant dining room. Both rooms are accented with elegant fireplaces and antique decor. There's also a cozy pub for tasting homebrew, mead, wine and other assorted beverages. The four special guest rooms include the Golden Victorian Room, Royal Anniversary Suite, Rose Anna Wicker Room and the Owen Edward Cedar Room all of which have their own elegant style and flare. A large deck and Victorian Gardens compliment the backyard of the Inn and is the perfect getaway while you soak up some of that Florida sun.
During the week, the Higgins House offers an uptown Continental Breakfast which includes regional small growers coffee's and outstanding pastries from Bruno's. On weekends, a full breakfast is prepared per chef's choice and may include our own wonderful recipes for Belgium Waffles, Crepes, Pannekoeken (Dutch Pancakes), eggs benedict, pancakes, omelets or other surprises. Breakfast is also accompanies by a variety of pastries or breads from local bakers. Let's not forget the coffee. For those who enjoy the taste of real coffee, the Higgins House Bed and Breakfast Victorian Inn serves only the finest world coffee. Each week we feature select coffees such as Sumatra, Grand Cru, Dark French Roast, Kona, Kenya and many other varieties. We also offer quality decaf and an enormous selection of tea, homebrew, wine and mead.
