José Freitas

Welcome to one of Lake Holden's hidden gems. Just one block from the lake, tucked beneath mature oak trees on an expansive 0.34-acre corner lot, this beautifully restored historic property offers a lifestyle that's increasingly difficult to find in the heart of Orlando. The property feels more like a private resort than a typical suburban home – with character, privacy, flexibility, and room to breathe. Thoughtfully renovated while preserving its timeless charm, the 1,425-square-foot main residence features original hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and carefully selected improvements completed over the past four years. Step outside and the retreat experience continues. Towering oak trees frame a large, fenced and private backyard where the pool, waterfall, mature landscaping, and irrigated gardens create an atmosphere that feels worlds away from the city, yet you're only minutes from Downtown Orlando. Whether you're hosting friends, enjoying a quiet evening by the pool, or spending weekends outdoors with family, this is a property designed to be lived in – not simply owned. Adding to its rarity is a fully independent 500-square-foot guest house with its own kitchen, bathroom, private entrance, HVAC system, water heater, and septic system. Whether you envision welcoming extended family, creating a private home office or studio, accommodating long-term guests, or generating supplemental income, the guest house offers exceptional flexibility. It is currently operating as a successful Airbnb with a 4.89-star rating, generating $2,500+ per month (at 75% occupancy) with the ability to generate even more if higher occupancy is offered. Properties like this rarely become available. A beautifully renovated historic home, an independent guest house, a resort-style outdoor living space, and nearly one-third of an acre just steps from Lake Holden combine to create an opportunity that is both distinctive and remarkably versatile.
