About This Home
As of August 2025Stunning 3-bedroom, 2-bath plus bonus room and air-conditioned Florida sunroom in the prestigious Hickory Creek neighborhood—one of Altamonte Springs’ best-kept secrets. This well-established community is known for its spacious lots, mature landscaping, and tranquil natural views, all with the rare benefit of no HOA. Tucked away on a .3-acre lot, this property offers privacy, beauty, and unmatched access to top-rated schools and everyday conveniences.
Step inside and fall in love with the Brazilian cherry wood floors that flow throughout the main living spaces, staircase, and elegant master retreat. A set of French doors welcomes you into a versatile bonus room—ideal for a home office or formal dining—conveniently connected to the kitchen through a butler door. The updated kitchen is a chef’s dream with stone-accented details and sleek modern appliances designed to inspire culinary creativity.
The centerpiece? A double-sided stone fireplace that adds cozy charm to both the living room and the spectacular four-seasons sunroom, fully enclosed with high-quality, storm-resistant double-pane windows. Whether you're working remotely, entertaining, pursuing creative hobbies, or simply unwinding with coffee as you watch the sunset, this space is your private sanctuary year-round.
Upstairs, you'll find two well-lit bedrooms with crown molding and corner windows, along with a generously sized loft that flexes easily for work or play. Step outside to your personal retreat—a backyard oasis complete with brick pavers, a spacious gazebo and fire pit, classic streetlamps, a jasmine-covered vineyard arch, and a tranquil fountain. This home is minutes from 2 Publix supermarkets, Advent Health Altamonte, the Altamonte Mall, Cranes Roost Lake Park, I4 and tons of restaurants.
