The story
- Pool
Stunning & Chic pool home in thriving neighborhood! Fresh curb appeal & timeless architectural lines give this home an immediate sense of style, with charming gables, a welcoming covered entry & lush landscaping framing an intimate front patio with views of Lake Formosa. Step inside to a home filled with character, thoughtful design & spaces that flow beautifully from one to the next. The spacious living room makes an immediate impression with rich wood floors, custom wainscoting & French doors opening to the front patio. From here, the home naturally unfolds into the kitchen, where custom cabinetry, marble counters, subway tile backsplash, curated pendant lighting & a Viking appliance package set the stage. The island extends into a custom-built dining table with seating for six, creating a wonderful place for everything from morning coffee to dinner with friends. Open to the kitchen, the expansive family room offers plenty of space to settle in around the gas fireplace, while a wall of windows draws your eye outside to the covered verandah, pool & backyard. This easy connection between indoors and out gives the main living spaces a relaxed, social feel and makes the pool part of the view throughout the day. Tucked privately at the back of the home, the owner’s suite is its own special space with two walk-in closets and an unexpected custom office nook with a door directly to the verandah—perfect for slipping outside with your morning coffee. The sophisticated newly transformed bath pairs a double vanity warm wood cabinetry with clean contemporary finishes and a statement mirror & artful lighting. Completing the serene retreat is the sculptural soaking tub & glass-enclosed shower with oversized stationary shower head & hand-held wand plus a built-in niche, A powder room, mudroom & laundry room round out the first floor. Upstairs, two additional generous-sized bedrooms, each with their own bath, and a bonus/media room that offers a comfortable place to watch a movie, lounge or simply spread out. And then there’s the outdoor lifestyle. Spend sunny afternoons around the sleek dark surface pool, enjoy lunch or cocktails beneath the covered verandah, or relax in the manicured backyard. As evening approaches, head to the brick front patio, gather around the firepit & watch the sunset over Lake Formosa—a wonderful way to end the day. The very coveted walkable location makes the lifestyle even better. Paddle from Lake Formosa into Lake Rowena & Lake Sue, hop on the Orlando Urban Trail for a bike ride or stroll across the footbridge into Orlando’s Arts District. Popular dining, neighborhood bars & local shops are all close by, with The Fresh Market on Mills convenient for groceries. Perfectly positioned between Ivanhoe Village & the Mills/Nebraska District and just minutes from Downtown Orlando & Winter Park, this is a home that puts some of Orlando’s best dining, recreation & culture right outside your door.
