About this home
This historic 2-Bedroom 1-Bathroom Bungalow is located in one of Downtown Orlando’s most desirable neighborhoods. The 1925 Bungalow comes with a rare asset. It has a detached 1970 1-Bedroom 1-Bathroom guesthouse offering exceptional flexibility for additional rental income, hosting guests, or multigenerational living. These opportunities do not come on the market often so snap this one up! The detached Cottage is features a separate OUC electrical meter, separate internet and qualifies for the City's long term and/or short term rental. Improvements to the property include new roofs on both structures (2023) and the Bungalow has been repiped water service line to the City meter (2025), providing added value and peace of mind. This home is just minutes from Lake Eola Park, the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, Thornton Park, Mills 50, Ivanhoe Village, and Orlando Health. It offers the perfect blend of historic character and urban convenience. Meet your neighbors on your quiet open air front porch or walk over to the local neighborhood eatery Maxine's on Shine and have lunch or dinner. Enjoy central air conditioning, mature landscaping, and easy access to Orlando best. A truly exceptional opportunity to own a versatile income producing property in the heart of Downtown Orlando.
Colonialtown South, located between Mills Avenue and Lake Eola Heights, is a historic and residential Orlando neighborhood with brick-lined streets and mid-century bungalows. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Mills 50 stretch at North Mills Avenue and East Colonial Drive, where ramen counters, craft cocktail bars, and indie storefronts keep the sidewalks active. Community pillars include Wally’s Mills Avenue Liquors, The Plaza Live, and Orlando Shakes at the Lowndes Shakespeare Center. Homes mix 1920s cottages with postwar ranches, often shaded by mature oaks. Side streets feel quieter, while the Colonial Drive edge reads more urban with small commercial pockets. Lake Eola Park and Loch Haven’s cultural campus shape weekend routines with walks, shows, and festivals.
