Description

Absolutely charming 4 bed/3 bath Craftsman-style bungalow with saltwater pool located in the heart of College Park, a dynamic neighborhood with great shopping, restaurants, and highly rated schools, just 5 minutes from Downtown Orlando. Flexible floor plan with both a first floor and upstairs main suite. Both suites offer the option of having an office/flex space or an additional private bedroom. Full kitchen remodel in 2011 includes solid oak butcher block countertops, custom KraftMaid cabinetry with soft close drawers and pantry. Organic landscaping, gardens and fruit trees provide extra backyard privacy. The attractive front features a new paver driveway and boasts four fruit-bearing citrus trees and a Dominican avocado tree. As you enter the home from the front porch you are greeted with original oak hardwood floors and loads of light from the generous windows in the dining room. Craftsman touches greet the eye throughout, such as a hand-tiled fireplace, floor to ceiling library shelving, giving a classic, traditional feel to this up-to-date home. A bespoke Craftsman display colonnade with oak-topped bar separates the dining room from the kitchen. To your right is a flex space with built-in bookshelves, great for a library or cozy living room. The open-view kitchen, designed by a professional food writer, features 2 flow-through bars " one off the dining area and the second one off the family room. The open family room features a wood burning fireplace with a custom Craftsman-style mantle with handmade tile, bamboo hardwood floors and a wall of French doors framing the verdant backyard and pool area. Off the family room is the main floor suite with an updated full bathroom with walk-in, wet-room shower, a laundry closet, built-in storage and French doors leading to the back yard. The other two ground floor bedrooms and the 2nd full bathroom are towards the front of the home. The 2nd floor addition was done in 2006 and was designed specifically to maintain the homes charm. The hardwood stairs lead up to the second Main Suite which includes a sun-drenched flex space that can be used for a home office, fitness area or media area. Bamboo hardwood floors, custom built in cabinetry and French doors leading to a second story balcony are just a few of the details. Down the gallery style hallway lies the generous bathroom, with a large walk-in shower, repurposed vanity and a bidet. Next is the main bedroom oasis in the trees, with custom built- ins and four closets. The backyard is a gardeners dream, which can be explored via vintage brick pathways. The salt system pool with vintage brick surround was built in 2016 and completes this backyard oasis. The 2 Carrier AC units were installed in 2020 and come with a transferable 5-year warranty. Hot water heater 2021 and range and dishwasher are less than 3 years old. Fireplace installed in 2002 and the chimney swept every 2 years. Extra insulation between the first and second floors as well as in the attic and west facing wall for low cooling and heating bills. The 4-zone automatic irrigation system, which waters the lawns, trees, and raised vegetable beds, is fed from a well to reduce water usage costs. Electric and plumbing were replaced during both the 2002 downstairs addition and the 2011 kitchen remodel.
