Tucked beneath the canopy of grand oaks in the iconic Southern Oaks community, this four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath beauty feels like a storybook home brought to life. Set on an oversized corner lot surrounded by lush, mature landscaping, it’s the kind of place where neighbors wave from porches and evening walks end under the golden sunset. From the moment you step onto the welcoming front porch—perfect for sweet tea sipping or unwinding at day’s end—you’ll feel the easy comfort that defines this home. Inside, a wide foyer opens to a sunken 1970s-style living area that now serves as a warm and inviting dining space. The kitchen is the true heart of the home—beautifully reimagined with gatherings in mind. A large cooking island with a drop-down vent anchors the space, flanked by dual pantries and a cozy coffee station with beverage refrigerators. Natural light spills in through the window overlooking the side yard, making even morning routines feel serene. Just beyond, the living area centers around a stone wood-burning fireplace, wrapped in the soft glow of Swedish White Oak flooring that flows seamlessly into the Florida Room. Here, walls of windows frame the lush backyard and pool, while custom built-ins add both charm and function—a perfect place to curl up with a book or enjoy the flowering plants. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a generous walk-in closet and ensuite bath. Three additional bedrooms feature built-in closets, fresh paint, and new carpet, creating bright and welcoming spaces for family or guests. Step outside, and the magic continues. The backyard is a gardener’s dream—a living tapestry of hibiscus, amaryllis, azalea, camellia, and native flowering plants. Along the side fence, a Queen’s Wreath vine—lovingly nurtured since 2020—bursts into a cascade of blue-violet blooms each spring and early summer. Raised garden beds invite you to grow your own cut flowers or fresh veggies, and the heated saltwater pool with self-cleaning pump and separate hot tub make every day feel like a staycation. The side-entry garage keeps the front elevation picture-perfect, while offering overhead storage and direct access to a mudroom/laundry area with built-in cabinetry—just the right blend of beauty and practicality. Perfectly positioned just south of Downtown Orlando, this home offers the best of convenience and community. Zoned for Pershing K–8 and Boone High School, it’s surrounded by some of Orlando’s most sought-after amenities—shopping and dining in SoDo, the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, Orlando City Soccer Stadium, and the Orlando Health complex are all just minutes away. And when it’s time to travel, the airport is an easy drive, making this location as connected as it is charming.
