1312 HERON DR Orlando, FL 32803

A storybook setting: Drop a pin on a map to the exact location you’d wish to live, and you’ll be hard-pressed to do better than 1312 Heron Drive. Sublimely sited on a quarter-acre, corner lot; this beauty helps anchor perhaps the best place to live in Central Florida: Audubon Park Garden District; home to East End Market, all the wonder that Corrine Drive has to offer, walkable to the highly touted Audubon K-8, and zoned for Winter Park HS. This 4/3.5 boasts over 2500 sqft; a rarity for mid-century homes. Living area expands with two generously-sized covered spaces. Picture yourself sipping morning tea on the front porch, and catching sunsets on your back patio; complete with tongue and groove ceilings by the pool. Enjoy wildlife teeming from both nearby lakes, chirping up a storm. Besides a very usable side lawn, you’ll find a mature avocado, Meyer lemon, blood orange, and a loquat tree ready to bloom. Birds of Paradise, hibiscus, and various butterfly plants complete the backyard design. Inside you’ll find plenty of spots to relax and gather. The oversized family room sits just past the galley kitchen and features a wood-burning fireplace, built-in shelving with two desks, and 3 sets of glass sliders. Both owners’ retreats come equipped with sliders to the back patio as well as one with pool bath access. Looking to keep things efficient? Fully paid solar panels and a 2022 roof will hit the spot. The exterior, pool deck, and interior spaces have just been painted. For mid-century buffs, you'll be happy to see original tile in two baths intact and in excellent shape, one with original tub. Other features include; a hurricane-proof garage door, privacy fencing, plantation shutters, oak wood flooring, a mud room with half bath and laundry, eat-in kitchen space, crown molding, resurfaced pool, and much more. This hard-to-find combo right in the heart of the neighborhood will be tough to leave for the current owners of 23 years, but they are ready for their next adventure, and wish all well in writing their very own, next chapter.
