Under contract-accepting backup offers. Not every house needs to be brand new to be the right house. Sometimes you want one with good bones, a great yard, and enough personality left for you to make it yours. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has exactly that. The brick paver driveway, mature trees and covered front porch give it the kind of curb appeal and charm you just don’t get from a row of brand-new houses. Inside you’ve got three bedrooms, two bathrooms, great natural light and a split floor plan that gives everyone a little separation while still leaving you plenty to work with. Some rooms are ready for a little love, and that’s half the fun. And hiding underneath that carpet? Terrazzo floors. Now we’re talking. There’s also a two-car garage, extra storage, and a laundry room that may not be winning any design awards today, but give it a weekend, some paint and a Pinterest board and we could have something here.
The kitchen sits right in the middle of it all, with plenty of cabinetry and an exposed brick detail that gives you something interesting to work with instead of starting from a completely blank slate. And then there’s the back room, lined with windows overlooking the yard and just waiting for someone to decide what they want it to become.
But let’s talk about that backyard. Nearly a quarter-acre lot, with a huge backyard that already has brick pavers extending from the house, a covered lanai and a firepit area ready for the first cool night of the year. And even with all of that, the yard just keeps going. Room for the dog to do full-speed zoomies, room for everybody to spread out, and plenty of space to explore adding a pool without giving up the backyard you fell in love with in the first place. And no HOA telling you how to enjoy it.
And the location makes the possibilities here even better. You’re tucked into an established neighborhood while still being incredibly close to the parts of Orlando you actually use. Shopping, restaurants and everyday errands are right nearby, major roads are easy to reach, and Downtown Orlando is close enough that dinner, a Magic game or a night out doesn’t have to become a whole production.
No, it isn’t brand new. It isn’t trying to be. It also isn’t someone else’s idea of “finished” or “updated.” It’s for the person who sees a great house, a huge backyard, terrazzo hiding under the carpet, good bones and some projects and thinks, oh, I could make this SO good. Because you absolutely could.
