1561 MAIDENCANE LOOP Imagine waking in a wooded retreat, nature’s sweet aroma only superseded by your freshly pressed Espresso. Even the chirping of familiar birds reminds you of a dream you once had… Imagine stretching to the Heavens on your yoga mat amongst the pines upon a soft bed of freshly fallen brush & boughs… subtly lit evenings along side a State forest campfire. Now imagine this is your home. It’s not a dream, it’s where you live. Nestled between the best of Seminole County schools, UCF, wonderful restaurants and Big Little Econ State Forest, you’ll enjoy both privacy and proximity. This wonderful home is both beautifully appointed and comfortable. The gently sloped lot brings your gaze up at the impressive two story front entry portico, grounded by lush landscaping and equally majestic trees. Flooring from tip to top is Luxury Vinyl ensuring enduring ease and beauty, and plantation shutters finish the look. The two story foyer gives way to a Home Office with a sunny disposition and front facing garden views. Adjacent is Formal Dining, with easy access and flow to Kitchen, Powder Room, and beyond. The Living/Family Room soars with nearly 18’ ceilings and windows inviting the soothing splendor of your forested back yard into your not-so-humble abode. The fully renovated Kitchen overlooks the colorful covered & cool bricked lanai and provides what everyone is looking for. White Shaker cabinets, with sleek Quartz countertops, under cabinet lighting, new appliances, and a large, deep single basin sink with a herb garden ready window. The large Primary Bedroom opens up to the expansive brick decked lanai and its whole house width pergola is both permanent & permitted. This is the perfect place to start or end your day with Edison string lights illuminating your al fresco evenings. The primary bath is bright and almost glistens. A steeping garden tub & newly tiled shower is grounded with flat pebble mosaic stone. Also downstairs is the large windowed Laundry Room with platformed front loaded washer & dryer. The lanai sits high on the Florida (and ecological) friendly landscape, providing wonderful views into the wooded clearing with a peek-a-boo glance at the conservation surrounded stocked pond. A short stroll away are both park & a fishing mound for the Little Creek Community. Speaking of economically friendly, only non-toxic weed and pest control have been used in this home & it also features the tubes in the wall pest control system if you decide to use it. Upstairs, the 4th bedroom has been converted into an open loft/second living room and can be easily converted back. The two goodly sized additional bedrooms both have walk in closets, one faces the front of the home and the other enjoys the wooded canopy view. The upstairs bath is segmented with a vanity in one room, and another vanity, windowed bath & loo in the other. Sought after Carillon Elementary & Hagerty High are about 1/2 mile and UCF is perhaps 5 minutes away. The Greater Lockwood area offers a public golf course, pickleball courts, community pools, a skatepark, hiking trails, and so much more. From Dawn to Dusk, this will be your dream come true.
