Imagine mornings with the sunrise shimmering across Lake Faith, directly across the street from your front door. Coffee by the crackling wood-burning fireplace makes Florida feel like fall in New England (Yes, even in Florida we like to imagine it gets cold), and evenings end with sunset strolls and dinner in Winter Park or Maitland. This isn’t just a house, it’s a retreat, a lifestyle, a sanctuary where everyday moments feel like vacation. This beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 2-bath, 2,317-square-foot residence blends timeless character with thoughtful, move-in-ready updates. Major improvements include a brand-new AC (2024), new roof (2022), updated plumbing (2020), new water heater (2022), and energy-efficient windows with blinds throughout—reducing maintenance, boosting efficiency, and delivering peace of mind.
The fully remodeled kitchen is the home’s social anchor: sleek quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, modern cabinetry, and an oversized pantry framed by a rustic barn door. Its open-concept design flows to the dining and living areas so conversations never miss a beat.
The family room soars with 9-foot ceilings and elegant French doors that flood the space with natural light and open to the backyard for effortless indoor-outdoor living. The formal living room adds warmth with partial lake views and that classic fireplace perfect for game night or a glass of wine. A thoughtful split plan prioritizes privacy. Down a 20-foot hallway you’ll find your spacious primary bedroom and bathroom as well as two generous sized bedrooms, and a beautifully updated full bath. And on the other side of the home is the fourth bedroom which is perfect for a growing family or home office. The privately set primary suite creates a calm, end-of-day retreat. Out back, the yard invites pets, gardening, and weekend cookouts, or design your own outdoor sanctuary with string lights, loungers, and a fire pit. The deep driveway accommodates multiple vehicles plus a boat or jet skis, and with no HOA, you’re free to live without limits. Love the water?
