About This Property
Some homes ask you to imagine the view. This home just hands it to you. Perched on nearly three quarters of an acre with sweeping lake views, this 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom pool home gives you nearly 2,700 square feet of light, space, and water views that do not quit.
The exterior sets the tone before you even reach the door. A striking mid century roofline, board and batten siding, and a stone accent wall lead you up a paver walkway to a covered entry and a wraparound deck that looks straight out over the lake. It is the kind of curb appeal that makes people slow down when they drive by. Step inside and the wall of windows in the living room takes over. Near floor to ceiling glass floods the space with natural light and frames the lake like artwork, while a large stone wood burning fireplace anchors the room and gives it real presence on cooler nights. Real oak wood floors run throughout the main level. The kitchen itself is a true gathering spot, with an island for casual meals and windows over the sink that keep the outdoors in view while you cook. The main level holds three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a spacious primary suite with room to spare. Downstairs, the lower level opens up into a versatile layout with a fourth bedroom, a full bathroom, a laundry room, and a large flex space that can easily be a second living area, media room, gym, or home office. Whatever you need the extra square footage for, it is there and ready. Out back, the screened pool sits under its own enclosure surrounded by mature landscaping and lush Florida greenery, creating a truly private resort feel just steps from the house. Between the pool, the wraparound deck, and the sweeping lake views, the outdoor living here does as much heavy lifting as the interior. And then there is the location. Zoned for Pershing K-8 and Boone High School (Go Braves!), you're right in the heart of Orlando, just minutes from Downtown Orlando, the SoDo District, and the Hourglass District, so you get quiet, tree canopied lakefront living without giving up easy access to the city. Just down the street, the historic Fort Gatlin site, the birthplace of Orlando back in 1838, is in the process of being converted into a public park, adding a piece of preserved local history to the neighborhood. It is a rare combination, and this property leans all the way into it. Homes with this much land, these views, and this much character are getting harder and harder to find. This one is ready for its next chapter.
