Description

PRICE ADJUSTMENT! Near downtown,real opportunity near Lake Eola. This beautiful historic home is located in the desirable "heart of Orlando." It has been tastefully modernized, while keeping the sense of times past. All the wood floors, oak on the first level, heart pine on the second, have recently been beautifully restored. Character is everywhere such as the tall ceilings, spacious closets, storage under the staircase, partial basement, and the roomy, newly insulated, attic which could become additional square footage. Windows surround a side-facing sunroom, perfect for a morning coffee, nurturing house plants or an afternoon nap. WALKABILITY...something that is rare in most of today's Central Florida, is not unusual in this lovely, leafy area near Downtown Orlando. Just a 6 block stroll southward, down oak-shaded sidewalks next to brick streets, is iconic Lake Eola Park, home to July 4 Fireworks, Farmer's Market, restaurants, concerts and festivals. Walk 3 blocks in the other direction toward the Mills 50 District and find an AMAZING coffee shop, restaurants listed in the MICHELIN guide, and some of the best places to eat and shop in Orlando. Recent updates include new AC units (upstairs & down), recessed lighting, new appliances, new water heater and more. Completely updated kitchen and bathrooms provide the best of conveniences combined with the beauty of timelessness. A light, bright bonus room off one of the bedrooms upstairs has windows on three sides and could make a perfect office or even nursery. To find this solid, whimsical home on almost a quarter acre, move-in ready, is like finding a treasure. Surrounding this property are lush plants including Hong Kong Orchid and Silk Floss as well as Starfruit, Passionfruit, Orange, Pink Lemon, Lime and other trees. Outside is a pergola for outdoor entertaining and there's additional built-in seating nestled into the back corner which could provide a sun-dappled reading spot for those lazy afternoons or roasting marshmallows by the fire pit. The lot is 65x136, so potential is there for multiple options. All of this is found just 11 miles from the Orlando International Airport. Welcome home!
