806 E. Amelia Street has served as a beacon in the Lake Eola Heights Historic neighborhood of downtown Orlando for over a century. Characterized by its Craftsman bungalow style, this rambling bungalow is constructed with old-growth cypress framing and siding, and has garnered a reputation as a cherished landmark. The glassed-in front porch offers sweeping views of one of Lake Eola Heights’ most popular streets. Inside, the original brick fireplace with its oak beam mantel warmly welcomes you to explore. The home’s 37 restored wood frame windows fill all rooms with beautiful Florida sunlight. Period architectural lighting adorns the ceilings throughout. The charming kitchen was thoughtfully restored in 2001. Highlights include custom period painted wood cabinets and complimentary 3” tile countertops. Another notable feature is the paneled library with built-in shelving and cabinetry. A cozy room for relaxing, reading a good book, and accessing the brick terrace, lush garden, and studio. Two bedrooms on the main floor offer versatile spaces that can be tailored to individual needs. The 2nd floor primary bedroom provides a peaceful retreat with ample windows, hardwood flooring and en suite bathroom. The rear main floor rooms have views to the garden, its meandering brick paths, conversation circles, and sparkling fountain. Dappled sunlight keeps this magical space comfortable year-round. The garden walk includes a floral treat for the eyes with its picturesque cottage gate. A studio space is attached to the 2-car garage and is climate-controlled and is perfect for recording music or podcasts, painting, or anything else that requires uninterrupted peace and quiet. The home has been featured in publications and is a favorite stop on the neighborhood garden tour. Once visited, you too will know why. Make this treasured beacon yours.
