Picturesque 1925 Tudor Revival style home nestled on a beautifully landscaped rare DOUBLE LOT on tree-lined, original brick-paved streets in the Fern Creek/Lake Lawsona Historic District of downtown Orlando. This charming character home boasts over 3,000 square feet of living space with 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and enclosed sunroom porches. Located just a few blocks is everything downtown Orlando has to offer, such as the farmers market at Lake Eola on the weekends and the boutiques, restaurants and bars of Thornton Park to the West, and the historic Washington Street Bridge with the adjoining Dickson Azalea and Langford Parks and the new trendy Milk District to the East.

The formal dining room features bay windows overlooking the beautiful landscaping.  The flowing layout of the first floor offers many lifestyle options with its split bedroom plan and multi-use living spaces including an enclosed sunroom porch. The den adjacent to the living room can be used as another bedroom, media room or play room.

The second, rear master bedroom suite features a light and airy space with lots of windows.
