Description

Welcome to the nostalgic Isle of Catalina, developed in the 1950's & 60's offering private canal front homesites that lead into Clear Lake. Inspired by Amsterdam and Venice, this neighborhood flourished with the influx of people moving to be near Martin Marietta, Kennedy Space Center and of course Disney World! Clear Lake is approximately 357 acres and has been enjoyed for decades as a hot spot for fishing, boating and water sports! Located just 2 miles from Downtown Orlando, this is a refreshing option to Florida's more modern communities. Ownership perks include the Lake House pavilion with picnic tables, BBQ grills, a beach volleyball court & private boat ramp. Clear Lake as a whole has public parks that offer paved walking paths, bike trails, playgrounds, fitness stations and more! This 4 bedroom 2 bath home is constructed of block with brick accents and a lengthy brick driveway. The front porch leads into a small foyer with fun black & white encaustic look tile, setting the tone for this Anthropologie inspired bungalow. The views are stunning through the multiple sets of sliding glass doors and windows in the family room, sitting room and the kitchen! The renovated kitchen has a cozy layout with a brick fireplace and all the expected conveniences of today. A large island, illuminated by a lantern pendant, adds prep space and an additional place to sit. Countertops are quartz a nice complement to the real wood cabinets and stainless appliances. A handcrafted dining table is the best seat in the house overlooking the water and lush tropical landscape that has been years in the making! This unique home exudes comfort and relaxation, the sun sparkling off the water, the palms dancing in the wind, the clouds painted across the vivid Florida sky. The sitting and family room enjoy this same ambiance with great natural light and ample space for your big sectional! The primary bedroom has a modest ensuite bath that was updated around 2008. The guest bathroom has been completely remodeled with a new vanity and period appropriate hexagon tile, all in a fresh palette. The flooring is a beautiful wood laminate, a transitional option that goes nicely with the neutral paint scheme. The laundry room is accessible through the kitchen offering additional pantry space and garage access. Last but certainly not least, the beautiful, level, sprawling lawn that borders your 80 ft sea wall. Enjoy kayaking, fishing, boating and entertaining year round. Grab your morning cup of coffee or evening glass of wine. Relax by the water, the warmth on your face, you feel contentment. The Isle of Catalina thrives on a spirit of togetherness with community events that include charity events, block parties, lake activities, holiday celebrations and more! These events help foster relationships new and old creating one big happy family!
