2174 SHADYHILL TERRACE

Tucked near the quiet end of Shadyhill Terrace, a few doors down from the lake, this four-bedroom pool home sits in Autumn Glen, one of Winter Park’s most sought-after neighborhoods, where homes rarely come up for sale. Picture opening your electric bill in the middle of a Florida summer and seeing a bill of ~$75 or less. That’s the average here, thanks to the 12.5 kW Enphase solar system that cost $65,000 and is fully paid off: no lease, no loan, nothing to assume. The rest of the house was upgraded with the same long view. The ROOF and AC are both under five years old, the argon-filled, double-pane hurricane-resistant windows throughout the main house that were recently installed keep the house quieter and cooler year-round. The home may also qualify for wind mitigation discounts on homeowners insurance. The Tall double doors open to four bedrooms and two baths, finished with modern lighting, ceiling fans and a custom built-in bookshelf. The updated kitchen, with granite counters and stainless steel appliances, looks straight into the family room, so whoever’s cooking stays part of the conversation. Out back, slide open the Florida room’s removable windows, let the breeze in, and look out over the screened salt water pool, running on a new energy-efficient Hayward pump. A two-car garage keeps the cars and pool gear out of the weather. The home sits near the end of a quiet dead-end street that finishes at the lake, in Autumn Glen, where sidewalks lead to the community park, playground and tennis courts. It’s zoned for Red Bug Elementary, Tuskawilla Middle and Lake Howell High, with Red Bug Lake Park and the Cross Seminole Trail close by, the 417 and 436 minutes away, and Park Avenue, UCF and Full Sail all an easy drive.
