Our House in the Woods

our house, originally uploaded by Summer Kitchen Studio.

Our beautiful, spacious modern home is situated in an acre of jungle and woods in a convenient suburban neighborhood of Orlando, just east of lovely Winter Park, Florida, home of Rollins College, and minutes from the University of Central Florida. We are 45 minutes from Disney and the other theme parks, and less than an hour to the beach (Cocoa Beach, Canaveral National Seashore and Cape Canaveral). The Saint Johns River, Hontoon Island State Park, Blue Springs State Park, Wekiva Springs State Park, and many other lakes, springs and natural attractions are less than an hour's drive.

Our house was built in 1972. There are three large bedrooms, two full baths and two porches upstairs, and a large bedroom downstairs with a shower that looks out to the garden, and an adjacent office with a single bed futon. There are many large windows looking out into the woods, where you may see hawks, owls, armadillos, gopher tortoises, and lots of squirrels, cardinals, and lizards - if you are very lucky you may see a bald eagle!
