Under contract-accepting backup offers. Updated, BRAND NEW A/C, two primary suites, no rear neighbors, and minutes to UCF (your backyard is the shortcut). That combination is hard to find. The main floor lives easy, with the living, dining, and kitchen all working together and a screened lanai just off the back for relaxing or entertaining. The kitchen carries its weight too, with granite counters and a center island built for company. A downstairs half bath handles guests and everyday traffic. The real luxury here is options. The downstairs suite gives you a soaking tub, a separate shower, and a walk-in closet. Upstairs, a second suite does the same with its own walk-in shower. Two more bedrooms and another full bath give everyone their own space. Whether it is a houseful of family, a guest who overstays in the best way, or a student headed to UCF just past the trees, the home makes space. And the back is the part you cannot replace. The home opens to a wooded preserve laced with trails that lead straight to UCF, and students use them for direct access to campus with no traffic. The view stays quiet and private, and the lot behind you stays empty. The community fills in the rest, with a pool for the summer and tennis courts when you want them. Close to UCF, Waterford Lakes, and the 408 and 417, this home gives you space, privacy, and location all at once.
