816 LAUREL AVE 1 Welcome to the North Quarter of Downtown Orlando! With 3 bedrooms plus an office, 2.5 bathrooms, and almost 2, 000 square feet of living space, this 2001 built home is sure to impress! As you wander down the quaint, brick streets you will approach the home’s elongated driveway and immediately notice the mature landscaping and large front yard. You can enter the home through the front door or through your one car garage. Upon entry, you see the kitchen to your left. The kitchen has spruced up cabinetry and new backsplash, under cabinet lighting, a window over the sink (which is always a pleasant!), and a quaint breakfast nook as well. Seamlessly moving into the formal dining room, you will be impressed with the just refinished REAL WOOD floors! This wood is top tier, grade-A maple and was professionally refinished to bask in all its glory. Throughout the dining room and the home as a whole, there are tasteful accents of crown molding, wainscoting, and chair rails to add an elevated touch to the place. Past the dining room there is a wide entrance into the spacious living room. The vaulted cathedral ceilings draw the eye up as the natural light bounces around the room. The living room has a gorgeous wood-burning, stone masonry fireplace and loads of natural light. This home brings historic charm and twenty-first century updates together to make a perfect match! Continuing past the plethora of windows (which are all new and double-paned by the way) in the living room, you enter into the downstairs office. The office has French doors and custom built-in shelving and cabinetry. The backyard view is visible from the living room and office and beckons you to wander outside. Once outside, you’re greeted by a vaulted, screened-in lanai with a skylight and an extended patio as well. The yard is more spacious than you’d expect from a property on this side of town and is fully fenced. There is even a prolific avocado tree! Back inside, the half bathroom is down the foyer hall next to the interior laundry room and the garage. Your laundry room has built-in cabinetry and a window to bring in natural light. Heading upstairs, you find sealed French doors on the landing which overlooks the living room so that you never miss out on the stunning cathedral ceilings and backyard view. The primary bedroom is on your left and is massive! You have a walk-in closet and an en-suite bath which has two sinks and a tub/shower combo. Across the landing are the other two bedrooms. Each bedroom in the home has a ceiling fan already installed. The second bedroom is also massive. It is really almost like two rooms in one and the extra space is perfect for an office, playroom, gym, etc. The spare bathroom is in-between the two spare bedrooms and has a tub/shower combo as well. Let’s talk about big ticket items. You can rest easy knowing that the roof is 2021, HVAC is 2020, and windows are NEW and double paned for low electric bills. Plus you can’t beat this location: you are nestled between Mills and 50 which have the best eateries and things to do in Orlando. You are two blocks from Lake Highland Preparatory Academy and are zoned for Audubon Park K-8 school (an A-rated public school). You are 12 minutes to Winter Park, 25 to Orlando International Airport, 12 to Whole Foods, 30 to Disney World and theme parks, 5 to major highway access, and an hour to the beach. Come see what this spectacular property has to offer!
