Set on over 1.2 acres of thoughtfully landscaped grounds, this Lake Gem retreat reads like a story you never want to end. From blooming azalea shrubs to the striking beauty of tabebuia trees, every inch of the property has been lovingly curated to feel both timeless and alive with color. As you arrive, the home’s curb appeal immediately draws you in, welcoming, warm, and effortlessly charming. A front porch made for slow mornings and sweet tea afternoons invites you to pause, sit, and stay awhile. Owned and meticulously cared for by the same family for over 25 years, the pride of ownership is unmistakable from the very first glance; every detail has been tended to with intention and heart. Inside, a thoughtfully designed split floor plan offers both comfort and functionality. The spacious living room centers around a cozy stone, wood-burning fireplace, creating a natural gathering place, while the formal dining room captures soft views of the front yard. The updated kitchen opens to the screened pool and lake beyond, making everyday living feel connected to the outdoors. The primary suite is a true retreat, generous in size, with French doors that lead directly to the pool, inviting in natural light and tranquil views. Two additional bedrooms offer ample space and storage, complemented by an updated hall bathroom that easily serves both rooms and guests. A versatile bonus/flex space provides endless possibilities as a home office, playroom, or even a future fourth bedroom, complete with its own access to the pool and peaceful views of the garden and lake. An indoor laundry room, abundant storage throughout, and a two-car garage with additional covered parking ensure practicality meets ease. Step outside, and the story truly unfolds. The expansive screened-in pool area is designed for year-round enjoyment, with covered spaces for dining and lounging, and plenty of room to soak up the Florida sun. Just beyond, a gated side yard offers a haven for pets and a garden bursting with blooms. Follow the path toward the lake, where a pergola draped in fragrant jasmine creates a magical setting, along with a porch swing and seating areas made for the golden hour. Here, sunsets become a daily ritual. Launch a kayak or paddleboard, feed the fish & turtles from your private deck, and experience the quiet beauty of Lake Gem right from your backyard. Perfectly positioned, the home is zoned for A-rated Pershing K-8 and Boone High School, and located just minutes from the Orlando Health Medical Complex, with easy access to shopping and dining. Orlando International Airport is only about 15 minutes away. Adding to the appeal, the historic Fort Gatlin site just nearby is in the process of being transformed into a future public park, an exciting community-driven vision that includes plans for green space, walking trails, lake access, and thoughtful historical elements honoring Orlando’s very first settlement. This home isn’t just beautiful—it’s been exceptionally well maintained, with key updates including a 2026 exterior paint, 2018 roof, 2024 replumbing, and a 2017 electrical panel (full list available in MLS attachments). Every improvement has been thoughtfully completed, making this a truly move-in-ready opportunity. A home where every space has been cared for, every detail considered, and every sunset savored, it's ready for its next chapter.
