Situated on a rare double lot with approximately 100 feet of frontage and one of the highest elevations on coveted Lake Davis, the 3-bedroom, 2 full and 2 half-bath home offers breathtaking lake and downtown Orlando skyline views, along with a history of never flooding. Thoughtfully designed to maximize its exceptional setting, nearly every room enjoys picturesque views of the lake, skyline, or beautifully landscaped grounds.
