Cute, classic, and cozy – this charming, updated 1940s home is your picture-perfect escape in the timeless neighborhood of Lake Weldona –  one of Orlando's beloved historic residential districts. The home sits cheerfully on a brick-paved street – lined with sidewalks and ancient oaks draped with Spanish moss. Its semi-circle driveway offers plenty of space for parking and, from the comfort of its covered & screened front porch, you may even catch a glimpse of the tranquil waters of nearby Lake Lancaster.

Don't let the home's compact exterior fool you. Its three bedrooms and two baths are spread out over a generous 1,600 square feet with surprises around every corner – like the sunken den just off the kitchen. This space makes a great family room, home-office, or workout studio. In the home's main living room, wood floors, elegant molding, plantation shutters, and an encased fireplace create a distinguished place to gather and relax. The updated kitchen is practical and delightful. Bright, beamed ceilings with slatted wood inlays here add a rustic yet modern touch that complements the tongue-and-groove cabinetry and stark granite countertops. The nearby butler's pantry around the corner is a classic design element from yesteryear (and adds plenty of extra storage and prep space). New, stainless appliances and chic track lighting add stylish sophistication.

The main bedroom is spacious and inviting – thanks to its two beautiful French doors at the entry. The updated main bath is lavish and luxurious with a gorgeous glass-enclosed shower with rainfall showerhead, impressive vanity, and  a distinctive artisan-crafted stained-glass window that fills the room with light. The home's fully fenced backyard is quite the oasis. You'll love winding down on the shaded terrace as you look out on the expansive yard – where you'll find five fruit trees and two nut trees, along with a handy nearby shed to tuck away tools and supplies. Recent upgrades to the home include a new roof (2017) and a new A/C, installed just this year.

You'll find all of this in beautiful historic Orlando where you'll be just minutes from so many great nearby shopping and entertainment districts – like the popular hourglass district with its buzzy new restaurants, downtown, SoDo and more. Or, keep it local and stroll just up the road to 903 Mills Market cafe for people-watching over sandwiches. Call today to arrange a tour of this absolute gem of a home!
