4431 LITTLE WATER STREET

Turn into Riversbend and the noise of the day just fades. Grand oaks arch overhead, the street goes quiet, and as you pull into 4431 Little Water Street, it immediately feels like home. Step through the leaded-glass double doors beneath a graceful arched transom and the wow factor starts immediately. Terracotta tile in the foyer gives way to rich hardwood flooring that carries through most of the home, leading you past the formal living and dining rooms into the true heart of the house: a completely renovated gourmet kitchen. Quartz counters and backsplash, solid wood soft-close cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, a pot filler, GE Monogram appliances (including a natural gas range) and a wine refrigerator surround the breakfast bar and eat-in nook, where morning coffee comes with a pool view. The adjoining family room opens straight onto the pool deck, so indoor and outdoor living blur together the way Florida living should. This is a split-bedroom, courtyard-style layout, with every major room wrapping around the screened pool and lanai, so daylight and water views follow you through the house. The primary suite is a retreat of its own, framed by columns that carve out a bonus sitting area or work-from-home office nook, with its own direct access to the pool deck. The ensuite bath delivers a dual-sink vanity, a soaker tub and a separate shower, giving you a place to actually unwind after a long day. Out back is where this home truly shines. A covered, brick-paver lanai with a wet bar (reachable from multiple points in the house, including bath access) overlooks a heated pool and spa with a cascading waterfall feature, all wrapped in a screen enclosure and framed by landscaping both inside and outside the cage. A child safety fence and fully fenced backyard add peace of mind for family and pets alike, while the oversized two-car garage with side entry keeps curb appeal front and center. Technology focused buyers will love the array of smart home features within, such as a connected thermostat, alarm system with video surveillance, Wi-Fi enabled ceiling fans and light switches, and Flume water monitor to detect leaks. Interested in green energy and reducing your utility bills? The whole-home solar array with Enphase Energy System allows you monitor the panels' production and your electric usage, truly bringing this home into the future. The myriad of updates throughout the property are the kind that let you move in and simply enjoy: a new roof (2024), a fully renovated kitchen (2022), new HVAC system (2022), 15 new double-pane windows (2022), whole-home solar (2021), and a repipe with new water heater (2020) already behind you. This custom-built pool home is one of only 79 residences in this manicured, tree-lined enclave tucked minutes from the Quadrangle, Siemens, UCF, the Research Park, and the 417 expressway. Plentiful shopping and eateries are a quick drive, and the airport and beaches are 30-45 minutes out when you're ready for sand instead of a lawn. Residents of Riversbend also enjoy a community park with a playground and basketball court, just steps away from this residence. Homes in Riversbend rarely hit the market, and this one has to be walked through to be fully appreciated. Come see why this address, and this neighborhood, are the kind people just don't want to leave.
