The story
Solid 1949 bungalow on a usable 50 x 150 lot (approx. 7,553 sq ft) in unincorporated Orange County with a Winter Park mailing address, just blocks from Lake Killarney. A clean shell for a fix-and-flip or a hold-and-rent strategy, with detached ADU potential under Orange County rules. 3 bed, 1 bath, approx. 1,216 sq ft of living area on approx. 0.17 acre, FEMA Zone X (minimal flood hazard). Straightforward single-story footprint with room to improve, not expanded. Out back, a canopy of mature trees creates a shaded, private backyard sanctuary. Already handled: brand-new roof (October 2026) and a replaced water heater. Kitchen cabinets are in very good shape; if you choose to update the countertops, keep the cabinets and simply resurface and repaint. The deck is in good condition today (plan on rebuilding down the road). Still to do: central HVAC is not operational (home is cooled by window units), the shower needs a light spruce-up, and a cosmetic refresh throughout. Strong bones and a good shell for a focused remodel. Location: Lake Killarney, a 234-acre spring-fed lake, is just blocks away, where seaplanes drop in for lunch at Hillstone. Centrally located to I-4 at Fairbanks Avenue, with downtown Orlando about 15 minutes away. Less than 2 miles to the newly renovated Winter Park Village with its Regal cinema, restaurants, boutiques and patio dining, and minutes to Park Avenue, Rollins College, the Morse Museum, the Saturday Farmers Market, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, AdventHealth Winter Park and the Winter Park SunRail station. ADU snapshot: under Orange County R-1A (Sec. 38-1426), a detached one-story ADU is typically limited to 50 percent of the primary living area or 1,000 sq ft, whichever is less, about 608 sq ft here. The lot appears to meet the 7,500 sq ft minimum. Homestead and owner-occupancy rules apply. Buyer to verify all zoning, setback, ADU eligibility, homestead and permitting items directly with Orange County Zoning. Figures are informational only and not a guarantee of approval. Renovate the primary and add a rental ADU for a two-income setup, or flip it. New roof and water heater done, interior ready for a focused remodel.
