The story
- Basement
Historic charm, rare extra space, and an exceptional Park Lake Highland location come together at 821 N Eola Drive. Built in 1925, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath Craftsman-style residence sits beneath a beautiful oak canopy just a short walk to Lake Highland Preparatory School and minutes from Mills 50, Lake Eola, downtown Orlando, Ivanhoe Village, restaurants, parks, and neighborhood amenities. From the covered front porch with brick columns to the warm hardwood floors, classic trim, interior columns, generous windows, and fireplace focal point, the home carries the character and detail that make this neighborhood so special. Inside, the floor plan offers multiple comfortable living spaces, a formal dining room, and an inviting sitting nook adjoining the updated kitchen, which features granite counters, painted cabinetry, stainless appliances, and tile flooring. Additional flexible rooms provide versatile options for home offices, reading rooms, creative spaces, or other personal needs. The home offers a large upstairs primary bedroom, while the first-floor bedroom and adjacent full bath are arranged off a small private hall, giving the home a flexible suite-like main-level retreat that could function well for guests, extended family, or a second primary-style bedroom option. A spacious basement under air adds substantial flexible bonus space beyond the public-record heated living area, with interior and exterior access, dedicated laundry and workshop areas, and abundant storage. Additional features include pull-down stair access to a floored attic storage area, an on-demand water heater, and solar panels for added efficiency. Outdoor spaces include a welcoming front porch, rear deck, screened upper porch, mature landscaping, private fenced yard areas, a long driveway, covered parking, and a detached garage. With the restaurants, coffee shops, local businesses, and neighborhood energy of the Mills 50 District just minutes away, this is a distinctive historic Orlando home with space, character, and a location that is hard to duplicate.
