About This Property

Behold a petite palace in the heart of the city—an heirloom of craftsmanship and light—where everyday living assumes a quietly regal air. This historic 2-bedroom, 1-bath jewel unfurls with the ceremony of a procession: a sunlit foyer ushers you into an expansive living/dining salon, where updated windows bathe 3/4-inch oak hardwood floors and oversized moldings in a golden, gallery-worthy glow. Every line and surface whispers of thoughtful stewardship—historic soul burnished by modern refinement.

In the kitchen, gleaming quartz countertops and crisp white appliances (including a dishwasher) evoke clean elegance, while decorative wood trim and a cleverly placed storage closet speak to both style and practicality. The two bedrooms—serene and generous with natural light—promise restful repose, their outlooks framing the greenery beyond like living tapestries. An updated tile bath completes the interior with polished simplicity.

Step through to your own private grounds: a fenced backyard that reads like a miniature court garden, ideal for morning meditations and twilight gatherings. The large screened lanai, hosting the washer and dryer, invites languid afternoons under a canopy of breezes, while a tidy shed stands ready to cradle seasonal treasures. At the front, an open patio becomes a stage for alfresco suppers, impromptu BBQs, and easy conversation; to the side, a proper garage provides secure parking and additional storage, underscoring the home’s rare blend of charm and utility.

Positioned mere moments from Downtown, Lake Underhill, Lake Como, Lake Eola, and Thornton Park—yet swift to the expressways and roughly an hour to either Florida coast—this address places culture, commerce, and coastline at your command. On the practical side, you’re zoned for Lake Como K–8 and Edgewater High, near bus routes, shopping, and a constellation of beloved eateries. In short: a residence of intimate grandeur—historic character polished to a soft luster—awaiting its next devoted steward.
