8779 E Orange Avenue

Floral City living with character, versatility and room to make it your own! Set beneath the moss-draped tree canopy of Historic Orange Avenue, this distinctive custom home rests on a corner .72-acre lot just moments from the park, library, local produce stands and famous Ferris Groves. Floral City Lake and the Tsala Apopka Chain of Lakes are only a few blocks away for boating, fishing and enjoying the best of Florida's outdoor lifestyle. A covered rocking-chair front porch welcomes you into an impressive great room with soaring vaulted ceilings and solid oak flooring. The open kitchen features white cabinetry, tile backsplash, a commercial-style double refrigerator, new stove, prep island with abundant storage and a pantry. A spacious dining area accommodates a large table, while built-in cubbies beneath the bay windows add charm and useful storage. The flexible floor plan includes two primary-sized suites--one downstairs and one upstairs. The downstairs bedrooms share a large garden-style bath with jetted tub and separate shower. Upstairs, the private suite offers a huge walk-in closet, shower bath and peaceful backyard views. A 12×34 screened lanai overlooks the quiet backyard and provides plenty of room for relaxing, entertaining or indulging your love of gardening-lots of space to plant one. One of the property's most exceptional features is the approximately 43×22 detached garage/office located across the three-car carport/portico. Originally designed as office space and later used as a climate-controlled collector-car garage, it has a separate entrance, mini-split cooling and its own electrical panel. Imagine the possibilities: home-based business, private offices, homeschool classroom, art or craft studio, workshop, fitness room, vehicle storage or an incredible hobby space. A 2018 metal roof, interior laundry, additional storage and a location in the heart of historic Floral City complete this truly one-of-a-kind property. Come experience the charm, space and possibilities for yourself!
