1600 Drum Street

Welcome home to this Winter Park (32789) mid-century modern cottage, a completely renovated turn-key 3 bed/2 bath retreat backing up to the Howell Branch Preserve. This home has just completed a high-end remodel and is zoned for A-rated Dommerich Elementary, Maitland Middle, and Winter Park High. Utilities are underground so you are "power-outage proof" at all times of the year. Enjoy your morning coffee on a private deck overlooking the preserve and a spacious backyard. Work from home in your ample office or convert bonus room to a 4th bedroom or playroom. All-inclusive monthly rent covers landscaping and Quality First lawn and shrub care, so your weekends stay free. Irrigation runs off a private well, trimming your utility bill each month. Washer and dryer included. Pets welcomed (see lease pet policy). Furniture shown is available for purchase upon inquiry. One more thing to love: the city, in partnership with the owner, is transforming the land at the end of the street into a professionally designed native garden and certified firefly habitat, arriving in 2027. Designed by Joe Knight, the original landscape architect of Celebration, FL, it will turn a storm drain into a boulder-lined creek winding into the preserve, with native pathways just steps from your door. A rare sanctuary in the city, getting even better. Then walk or bike to Park Avenue and enjoy everything Winter Park has to offer from this quiet city alcove. Lease term is 12 months. Owner covers monthly cost of professional landscaping, landscaping irrigation, Quality First weed and pest control, as well any improvements.
