Description

Follow the brick-lined road near the heart of downtown Orlando, in one of the most desired neighborhoods, to this brilliant century-old home. Closely resembling prairie or foursquare architecture, this Lake Davis estate was built in 1925 and retains bygone elegance, while its impeccable stewardship provides preservation that is hard to come by. It’s no secret either, as the alluring curb appeal and rare charm captivates film scouts and has been featured in many commercials and films. Be welcomed by the grand foyer that opens you to a warm, formal sitting room with a thick tread wooden staircase winding up a vintage banister. Original hardwoods paired with craftsman baseboards and trim immediately greet you. The entire first floor is designed for entertaining and maximizing living spaces. Evoking the truest sense of home, the originality of character is hard to come by. Head left to a gas-burning fireplace that warms the memory-making family room. Walls of windows flood the room with light and give impressive views of Lake Davis. Dining and sitting are opposite and adjacent to an updated and modernized kitchen. Upstairs features two bedrooms and two baths, while a full loft with couture en-suite consumes the entire third floor. A private bedroom patio gives way to an incredible sitting space for soaking in all of the natural ambiance and picturesque views. Original elements such as brass doorknobs, clawfoot tubs and rippled glass adorn the estate and remind us of its heritage. Well suited for multigenerational families, a detached carriage house offers a complete studio with a kitchenette and full bath. Escape to the pinnacle of year-round Florida living, a resort-influenced oasis offering a covered outdoor kitchen and patio, saltwater pool and landscaped privacy wall. What makes this home so special is far beyond what you see; it’s what you feel.
