Set on a quiet, established street in Altamonte Springs, this beautifully updated 1,961 square foot home blends warmth, space, and an outdoor setting that is hard to find. Mature trees frame the property, the yard is expansive and private, and the moment you step inside, the home feels light, calm, and welcoming. The layout flows effortlessly for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is bright and open with clean white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, quartz counter tops, breakfast bar, and a window overlooking the yard so you never lose that connection to the outdoors. Living and dining spaces are generous and inviting, filled with natural light and neutral finishes that make it easy to picture your own style here. The home offers comfortable bedrooms, updated baths, and thoughtful touches throughout, and an oversized 2 car garage, that make it feel move-in ready without losing its character. Step outside and this is where the story really comes together. The yard is spectacular. Lush, oversized, and peaceful, it feels more like a private retreat than a typical neighborhood lot. Morning coffee, evening gatherings, gardening, or simply enjoying the shade of mature trees, this is outdoor living done right. The location seals the deal. Close to shopping, dining, parks, major roads, and everyday conveniences, yet tucked away enough to feel quiet and personal. This is not just a house you look at. It’s one you feel. And once you’re here, it’s hard to imagine leaving.
