Under contract-accepting backup offers. This 1-story home on a corner lot offers easy living in one of Winter Park’s most convenient locations! Enter through a covered front porch and inviting foyer with slate tile floors to discover a desirable split-bedroom floorplan. Off to the right, the spacious primary wing (later addition) serves as a true retreat, with vaulted ceilings, hand-carved wood floors, a cozy window seat wrapped in a bay window, and French doors that lead to the private outdoor living spaces. The large primary bath has dual vanities, a soaking tub, huge walk-in shower, and a custom walk-in closet….This primary retreat is a HUGE surprise! On the opposite side of the front entrance, the home’s original, refinished hardwood floors stretch throughout the living room, kitchen, and large secondary bedrooms. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a wine refrigerator, and a dinette area with a precious greenhouse window, perfect for growing fresh herbs and potted plants. The kitchen/dinette area open up to the window-lined living room, with plantation shutters. French doors off the adjacent dining room lead to a newly PVC-fenced rear courtyard with brick pavers and a soothing fountain. The left side of the property includes a screened patio with terracotta tile and a vaulted, wood-plank ceiling, while the right side offers a fully-fenced space for pets, gardening, or play. Enjoy an impeccably landscaped yard with Zoysia grass and a private well for irrigation, plus an enormous 2-car garage that was thoughtfully added on, with a large, sunny laundry area with a double utility sink, and plenty of room for storage or a workbench area. Block construction and updated double-pane windows & doors make the home remarkably quiet inside, and the circular front drive and expanded driveway makes life on Palmer a breeze! Just across the street, Phelps Park provides a playground, tennis, pickleball courts, and additional parking for your larger gatherings. Located just a block from the YMCA, minutes from Publix, Sprouts, Walgreens, and numerous restaurants, and less than 2 miles from Park Avenue, this home is where convenience meets comfort.
