About This Property

A truly unique opportunity to own well over half an acre of ultra-private property, set far back from the road, with 12 feet of deeded Lake Sybelia frontage and access. This charming, updated, cottage-style home offers 3 bedrooms plus a den, 2.5 bathrooms, and plenty of separate flex space for entertaining, both inside and out. The family room is light and bright with skylights, terracotta-look tile floors, a beamed ceiling, a window seat, and brick mantle. The inviting kitchen features smoky blue cabinetry, a farm sink, new refrigerator, tile counters and floors, and opens to the dining room and a light-filled sitting room with built-in wet bar, wine storage, and accordion doors opening to the backyard. The adjacent Florida room has walls of windows overlooking the yard and a door leading to the backyard. The split-bedroom floor plan offers two bedrooms sharing an updated hall bath with tile floors, quartz counters, dual sinks, and multiple showerheads, including a rain shower. The separate primary suite, part of the 2001 addition, is spacious with three closets and French doors opening to a brick patio. The primary bath features a single-sink vanity, built-in cabinetry, and shower. An attached den with a half bath and closet provides flexible space for an office, nursery, or additional sitting area. Additional features include wood floors in all bedrooms, ceiling fans, plantation shutters, a water softener, and interior laundry. Recent updates include roof (2019), AC (2023), insulation (2025), electric panel (2024), hot water heater (2026), lighting, fixtures, a new electric fence, and more. A long private driveway leads to a large circular drive at the rear of the property. A detached shed has electricity and running water. The fully fenced backyard offers mature landscaping, in-ground irrigation, and ample space and flexibility for outdoor living, entertaining, RV or boat storage, or for future improvements, additions, or to create a custom new build. The property includes a deeded 12-foot-wide strip of Lake Sybelia frontage, providing usable lake access and potential for an EZ floating dock; see survey/attachment for details. Ideally located near the new Maitland Public Library, currently under construction and expected to open in 2027, as well as the Enzian Theater, Maitland Art & History Center, and Lake Lily Park, and just minutes to Winter Park and Downtown Orlando. Assigned schools include Lake Sybelia Elementary, Maitland Middle, and Edgewater High. Lot size is approximately 0.65 acres per public record, including the portion of the parcel extending into Lake Sybelia; approximately 0.58 acres is dry land.
