Welcome home to the Winter Park Pines with its beautiful tree-lined streets and where the mailman still delivers to your doorstep! This home lies within the secluded Merrie Oaks section of the Pines and enjoys only one way in and out of this segment of the neighborhood. As you approach the home, you will be impressed with the beauty of the meticulously maintained front yard and brick paver driveway. Sunlight floods the living spaces through all new large windows, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. Stepping through the front door puts you in a charming entry hall that gives access to the spacious formal living room, the garage and the updated kitchen. Located in the heart of the home is the kitchen. In the kitchen you will enjoy all white cabinetry with lots of slide-out drawers, all white appliances, and a convenient breakfast bar for on-the-go dining and is open to the family room. The pocket door leads you into the formal dining. This split-bedroom floor plan provides plenty of privacy for all and the primary bedroom has a spacious en suite bathroom. Our favorite room is the enclosed rear florida room/lanai, a versatile space that seamlessly extends your living area. Whether you're sipping morning coffee or hosting a soirée, this florida room is an entertainer's dream. Beyond the florida room, step outside to discover the beautifully landscaped backyard, a private oasis that enhances the home's curb appeal. Mature trees, flowering shrubs, and a manicured lawn create a tranquil setting for relaxation or outdoor gatherings. A 10' x 14' detached shed is the perfect place for all your projects. This sturdy shed was built on a monolithic concrete slab and boasts electricity and overhead storage! This property is not only a timeless dwelling but also a community gem conveniently located near amenities such as the Cady Way Trail encompassing a park, pool and tennis & pickle ball courts, Winter Park Pines Golf Course, Center for Health and Wellbeing, Ward Park, Advent Health Hospital and ER. Also less than a 10 minute drive to Park Ave shops and fine dining or Dinky Dock public boat ramp.
