Description

Live, entertain, and even experience the Lake Eola Fireworks from your front porch in an Orlando landmark home in the heart of Thornton Park. Lovingly restored, and thoroughly “instaworthy” this iconic home marries the best of Historic Orlando with modern luxury and 21st Century comfort. Nestled in the heart of Thornton Park and adjacent to Downtown, 117 N Thornton Park sits amongst the redbrick streets and Orlando’s famous shady century old oaks. The home is located just .5 Miles from Lake Eola Park and Thornton Park’s nearby trendy cafes and shops, as well as downtown Orlando’s vibrant arts and dining scene. Catch some shade on the front porch swing under the haint ceiling before stepping inside on the original heart pine solid hardwood floors that run throughout the home. The living spaces have been thoughtfully updated to pay homage to the home’s history and offer a luxury experience, whether entertaining or relaxing. The gourmet kitchen (updated in 2023) offers an open floor plan with family room and easy access to the dining room and office. It features Bosch stainless steel appliances, lighting by RH and Aerin, plumbing fixtures and pot filler by California Faucets in a burnished nickel, living finish. The countertops and bar backsplash are natural, one of a kind, Quartzite, and the dry bar includes a wine / beverage fridge.
