Sometimes, the best reason to sell a home is a happy one. The owner of this extraordinary Lake Cherokee residence never expected to leave it, but finding love and blending two families created the need for a home with a little more room. Now, this beautifully reimagined 1928 residence is preparing for its next chapter. Set on a .23-acre corner lot directly across from Lake Cherokee and the park, the 3,145-square-foot home offers four bedrooms, three full and two half baths, a heated pool and hot tub, detached guest apartment, oversized fully air-conditioned garage and carport. A comprehensive renovation in collaboration with Ted Maines Interiors and Skolfield Homes preserved the home’s architectural character while introducing a sophisticated, highly functional interior. A gracious wraparound porch welcomes you inside, where original hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, extensive millwork, hand-selected fixtures and abundant natural light are joined by a beautifully appointed kitchen, inviting living and dining spaces, and a dramatic family room opening through French doors to a spacious screened porch. Beyond, mature landscaping and a handsome brick privacy wall create a remarkably private setting surrounding the pool and hot tub. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a custom walk-in closet, private balcony overlooking the grounds and a beautifully renovated bath, while two additional bedrooms share another renovated full bath. The detached guest apartment adds exceptional flexibility with its own kitchen, living area, bedroom and bath—ideal for guests, extended family, a private office or independent living space. Renovated in 2023, the oversized garage features air conditioning, epoxy flooring, a half bath and an outdoor shower, creating possibilities well beyond traditional parking and storage. Historic character, exceptional design, flexible living spaces and a coveted setting directly across from Lake Cherokee come together in a home that is genuinely difficult to replicate. Coming soon to the Downtown Orlando.
