UPDATE: An open house will be held on Sunday, January 26 from 2-4 p.m.
This three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home is located at 450 Cherokee Drive [GMap] in the Lake Cherokee Historic District, a quick bike ride away from downtown Orlando hotspots like the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, The Wellborn, and 903 Mills Market.
The craftsman bungalow-style home, built in 1928, has a full guest suite, a two-car garage, and one carport. Ted Maines of Ted Maines Interiors and Skolfield Homes completely renovated it in 2020.
The 2,641 SF home features wood floors, tall ceilings, statement light fixtures, and extensive millwork throughout, including the wood-burning fireplace surround, moldings, and an artfully designed wide, wood-clad opening between the family room and the adjacent kitchen and dining areas.
The kitchen highlights include stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, a gas range with vent hood, quartz countertops, wood ceiling detail, a kitchen island, and a peninsula with ample storage and bar seating. Conveniently tucked away off the kitchen is the laundry/mudroom area with a front-loading washer and dryer (2019).
Old window seats in the dining room were transformed into a luxurious banquette-style dining space that comfortably accommodates a large group around the circular table under the FLOS multi-pendant light fixture. At the back of the main house, the family room and powder bathroom were updated to include custom tile, grasscloth wallpaper, dramatic ceiling beams, and coordinated electronic shades.
From the family room, French doors open to a sizeable, screened porch with composite decking suitable for lounging, while someone else takes a dip in the heated pool or hot tub. The primary suite, two alternate bedrooms, and another full bathroom complete the upstairs. The primary suite features floor-to-ceiling drapes, two large Avia pendant lights, a private second-floor open patio, a walk-in closet with organization, and a bathroom with a large vanity and walk-in shower with a glass enclosure.
The property is zoned R2 and includes a full guest suite, which is located above the 728 SF detached and air-conditioned two-car garage. The guest suite is 514 SF composed of general living space, a full kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. The garage was renovated in 2023 with epoxy flooring, composite moldings, new air conditioning, a half bathroom, and a mounted outdoor shower. This garage is nearly twice the size of a standard garage and does not contribute to the 3,145 total living square feet of the property. The added space could be used as a gym, cabana, workshop, or simple storage.
The property is private and secured by a handsome brick border wall with two coded gates. Hurricane shutters are organized and stored under the elevated screened porch for convenient access. Along with extensive cosmetic enhancements, major updates over the years include two electrical panels (2010), three HVAC systems (2003, 2015, 2023), complete plumbing repipe (2017), tankless water heaters (2008, 2009), historic window rehabilitation, and Indow window inserts in various locations.
The asking price is $1,750,000.
