Property Description
Located within the gated, boutique community of Lake Drawdy Reserve, this home presents a rare combination of privacy, space, and access to one of East Orlando’s most distinctive lakefront environments. With just 28 homes total, this boutique neighborhood creates a true sense of retreat while still providing community lake access for kayaking, fishing, and enjoying spring-fed Lake Drawdy, an 80-acre recreational lake known for its natural beauty. Set at the end of a cul-de-sac on an almost 2-acre homesite, this property is defined by its exceptional privacy. The rear of the lot backs to a rural area, delivering wide-open views and a natural buffer behind the home. There are no rear neighbors, no left-side neighbors, and only one nearby residence, creating a setting that feels removed from traditional subdivision living. The result is a secluded homesite well suited for those seeking room to breathe without giving up convenience. A brick paver driveway and strong street presence create an inviting arrival. Major improvements include a new roof installed in 2023 and a whole-home solar system to be paid off at closing, allowing the next owner to benefit from solar energy with no remaining obligation. Inside, the floor plan is designed for both comfort and flexibility, with well-proportioned rooms and multiple living areas. The first floor includes formal dining and formal living spaces, anchored by a gourmet kitchen featuring 42-inch espresso cabinetry, dual ovens, stainless steel appliances, a butler’s pantry, and an oversized walk-in pantry. Extended laminate flooring continues through the main living areas into a large family room that opens to the lanai, creating an easy flow for everyday living and entertaining. A first-floor guest suite with an en-suite bathroom, along with a separate half bath, provides a practical setup for guests or multi-generational living. Upstairs, wood stairs lead to a central loft that acts as a secondary gathering area. Just off the loft is a dedicated upstairs office with hard-surface flooring and ample natural light, making it ideal for remote work, homeschooling, or use as a fitness room. The primary suite is notably oversized, offering a true retreat within the home. It features a tray ceiling, two walk-in closets, and French doors that open to a private balcony overlooking the backyard and the rural landscape beyond - a peaceful vantage point rarely found in residential communities. The primary bathroom includes a corner garden tub, separate shower, and dual vanities, completing the suite with comfort and functionality. Each secondary bedroom is comfortably sized and includes its own walk-in closet. Additional features include a whole-home water filtration system, neutral interior finishes, and an extended three-car garage, where the third bay provides added depth for storage, a workshop area, or larger vehicles. The backyard remains a blank canvas with ample room to design outdoor living spaces, gardens, or recreational areas while preserving the home’s privacy and natural views. Conveniently located just off Lake Pickett Road, enjoy easy access to highways, placing UCF, Waterford Lakes, Downtown Orlando, and the Space Coast all within comfortable driving distance. With its rare lot characteristics, gated lake-access community, paid-off solar system, and flexible interior layout, this home stands out as a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking space, privacy, and long-term value in East Orlando.
