Some homes stand out because of their finishes. Others because of their location. Rarely do you find one that brings both together so beautifully. Nestled alongside an 81-acre nature preserve, this reimagined two-story, fee-simple, end-unit townhouse offers contemporary living surrounded by nature. With approximately 1,800 square feet, 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and no HOA, this exceptional property feels more like a personal retreat than a traditional townhome. Designed with a modern, contemporary point of view, the home features bamboo hardwood floors and 14-foot vaulted ceilings that give the main living space an open, light-filled atmosphere, while a sleek gas fireplace brings warmth and character to the room. The kitchen includes an eat-in breakfast nook. Granite countertops, custom soft-close cabinetry, high-end stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, and a wine refrigerator combine style with everyday functionality. Additional built-ins provide attractive storage while maintaining the home's clean, cohesive aesthetic. A spacious interior laundry and utility room with an additional refrigerator provides added storage. Upstairs, the primary suite takes full advantage of the home's exceptional setting, offering peaceful views across the surrounding greenery. The primary bath features dual sinks, vanity, stone countertops, and a spacious walk-in shower with three shower heads, including a rain shower. A spacious walk-in closet completes the suite. A second bedroom and full bath provide comfortable accommodations for guests or the flexibility to create a home office or personal retreat. Parking is also a standout feature, with a one-car garage plus two designated parking spaces. Outside is where the personality of this property really comes to life. The oversized upper and lower decks create an exceptional outdoor living experience. The upper deck features a gas grill for cooking and entertaining, along with spectacular views of rocket launches from Cape Canaveral. An area provides space for relaxing, while an outdoor shower, potting station, plenty of exterior storage, and a private backyard with access to Howell Branch Creek for kayaking add to the property's distinctive appeal. Lush tropical landscaping creates a garden-like setting with citrus trees, including lemon, avocado, papaya, and a unique cocktail tree, complemented by fragrant jasmine and colorful seasonal blooms. An outdoor fire pit adds warmth and ambiance on cooler evenings. Whether you're having coffee before the day begins, sharing dinner with friends, or just enjoying the quiet after sunset, the natural surroundings make these spaces feel remarkably removed from city life. Key updates include a new tile roof replacement, HVAC installation, and water heater in 2018. Located in Winter Park's 32789 ZIP code, the home is near the Winter Park Racquet Club, Winter Park Chain of Lakes, iconic Park Avenue, fine dining, upscale boutiques, Rollins College, and highly regarded schools, including Dommerich Elementary and Winter Park High School. SunRail is also nearby, with Maitland just minutes away. Modern interiors, exceptional outdoor space with spectacular views, and the convenience of Winter Park, all in one place. For the buyer who has been waiting for something genuinely special, this may be the one.
