3 Beds 2 Baths Idyllwilde Of Loch Arbor Section-4 SubDv. 32771 Zip Code
Virtually Staged. Welcome Home! Pull into the driveway and the first thing you notice is that someone has been paying attention. Brand new landscaping frames the walk, and the low, solid lines of 1973 block construction say this house was built back when they built them to last. Step inside and everything lives on one level. No stairs, no wasted hallway, just 1,822 square feet arranged the way people actually live: three bedrooms, two full baths, and enough breathing room to spread out. The attached two car garage handles everything else. But the real story starts at the back door. Push it open and the yard opens up in front of you. An oversized, deep swimming pool sits at the center of it all, wrapped in a large private yard behind a newer fence. This is the part of the house that changes how weekends feel. The 342 square foot screened porch is where dinner runs long and the bugs stay outside. The separate open porch is for coffee before anyone else is awake. Past all of that, still more yard, waiting on a firepit, a garden, a hammock, or nothing at all. Here is what lets you enjoy every bit of it without looking over your shoulder. The expensive work is finished. Newer roof overhead. A 200 amp electrical panel upgrade behind the walls. A whole house re-pipe underneath. All of it since 2020, on city water and sewer. The big ticket items that keep owners up at night are already handled. And the address earns its keep. A third of an acre in established Idyllwilde of Loch Arbor, minutes from SR 417 and I-4, roughly thirty minutes to downtown Orlando and thirty to the sand at Daytona, with historic downtown Sanford, the Riverwalk and Lake Monroe just up the road. Room to grow into. Room to settle into. And the kind of bones, yard and location that earn their keep on a rent roll. Schedule your private showing today!
