5401 Old Cheney: A 2024 Build With No Rear Neighbors and the Cady Way Trail Steps Away

New construction in Central Florida usually comes with something attached. A commute. A subdivision that is still half dirt. An HOA telling you what color to paint the front door. 5401 Old Cheney gives you a home built in 2024 with none of that, on a lot backing to trees, minutes from Baldwin Park. The basics: three bedrooms, two baths, and 1,436 square feet built in 2024, with a covered rear lanai, no rear neighbors, no HOA, and a Cady Way Trail access point about 100 feet away.

All the benefits of new construction, without the wait

This is a like-new home that is already standing. The roof, the AC, the water heater, the windows, the wiring, and the plumbing are all two years old, which means nothing on the to-do list and no renovation budget stapled to the purchase price.

Inside, the open layout reads bright and functional. Natural light fills the main living area, and large-format porcelain tile runs through the entire home, giving it a clean, modern look that holds up to real life and wipes down in a minute.

The kitchen sits at the center of it all

Quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, shaker-style cabinetry, and a large island with seating for four. A walk-in pantry keeps the everyday essentials close but out of sight.

It is positioned so that whoever is cooking is still part of the room. Dinner prep, homework at the island, friends leaning on the counter with a glass of wine. This space was designed to be lived in, not just looked at.

A split layout that gives everyone room

The primary suite sits privately away from the secondary bedrooms, with a spacious walk-in closet already fitted with a custom organization system, dual vanities, and a large glass-enclosed shower. On the opposite side of the home, two additional bedrooms share a full bath. That side works just as well for kids, for guests who stay a while, or for the home office you actually want to close the door on at five o'clock.

No rear neighbors, just trees

Step out to the covered lanai and the backyard opens to a peaceful wooded backdrop. No one looking back at you, no second-story windows over the fence line, just privacy and a little extra breathing room. Beyond those trees is the Cady Way Trail, with an access point roughly 100 feet from the property. Miles of paved trail for a morning walk, an evening run, or a bike ride, close enough that it becomes part of the routine instead of a weekend outing you have to drive to.

The location is as good as the house

You get the freedom of no HOA while sitting minutes from Baldwin Park and its restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, Publix, parks, and year-round community events. The Milk District and Colonial Plaza add even more dining and everyday shopping just up the road. The home is zoned for Baldwin Park Elementary, Glenridge Middle, and Winter Park High School. Go Wildcats. With the 408, 417, and 528 all close, you are about 15 minutes from downtown Orlando, 20 from Orlando International, 30 to 45 from the theme parks, and just over an hour from the east coast beaches.

Want to see it in person?

Modern, move-in ready, and in a location that makes everyday life a little easier. This one really shines when you're standing in it. If 5401 Old Cheney feels like it could be home, I'd love to show you around. Contact me to schedule your private tour!

13000 Crystal Cove: Waterford Lakes Pool Home With a Waterfall and a Tropical Backyard

Some homes you simply live in. This one you get to vacation in, every single day. 13000 Crystal Cove Drive, in the heart of Waterford Lakes, is a turnkey four-bedroom built around a waterfall pool and a private, tropical backyard.

The basics: four bedrooms, three baths, a resort style pool with a waterfall, and a fully fenced tropical backyard, all on a corner lot with a 2024 roof.

The backyard that feels like a getaway

Step out back and the home shows you what it is really about. A gorgeous pool with a waterfall anchors the space, framed by a covered porch with tongue-and-groove ceilings and a fully fenced, tropical backyard. It is the kind of setup that turns an ordinary Tuesday into something that feels like a long weekend, and a real weekend into a staycation. Whether you are hosting a crowd or just floating with your coffee in the morning, this is a backyard built to be enjoyed.

Move-in ready, right down to the roof

The best part of a home like this is the to-do list, because there isn't one. The roof was installed in 2024, the kitchen has already been upgraded with white cabinetry, a subway tile backsplash, stainless appliances, and a cozy fireplace nearby, and the whole home is ready to go. In a market where so many listings come with a renovation budget attached, a home that is genuinely finished is worth slowing down for.

A layout that just works

Inside, the floor plan is smart and livable. Four bedrooms sit in a three-way split that gives the primary suite real privacy while keeping the secondary bedrooms comfortably tucked away. An open-concept living and dining space keeps everyone connected, and a separate flex room, set off by glass barn doors and an arched window, gives you a true office, playroom, or den. The primary suite opens directly to the backyard, and one of the guest baths doubles as a pool bath, so wet feet never have to track through the house. It is a layout designed for the way families actually move through a home.

Living in Waterford Lakes

Waterford Lakes is one of east Orlando's most sought-after communities, and for good reason. You are minutes from Waterford Lakes Town Center and its shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, close to UCF and the surrounding research and employment corridor, and connected to the rest of the metro by the 408 and 417. Add parks, trails, and a true neighborhood feel, and you have a location that makes daily life genuinely easy. A corner lot with mature landscaping only adds to the sense of having arrived somewhere settled.

Come see it for yourself

A move-in-ready pool home in Waterford Lakes, on a corner lot with a backyard like this, is exactly the kind of listing that goes quickly. If you have been waiting for a home where the work is already done and the lifestyle is ready to enjoy, this is the one to see in person.

11474 Swift Water Circle: A Six-Bedroom Riversbend Estate With Screened Pool and Spa

There is a difference between a big house and a home with room for a whole life. 11474 Swift Water Circle, in the established Riversbend neighborhood near UCF, is the second kind. It has the square footage, but more than that, it has the layout, the privacy, and the backyard to make all that space actually work.

The basics: six bedrooms, four and a half baths, and 3,942 square feet on a fully fenced 0.40-acre lot, with a three-car garage and a screened pool and spa.

The backyard is the whole point

Step through to the spacious lanai and you understand the house. A large screened enclosure covers a paver deck, a sparkling pool, and heated spa, with plenty of covered space for shade, seating, and dinners outside. This is a backyard built for the way Florida actually lives, from quiet morning coffee to a full weekend of people coming and going.

Room for everyone, and then some

Inside, the floor plan is built for real life and real flexibility. A formal living room with a fireplace and a separate formal dining room sit up front for the gatherings that call for them. The family room opens to the kitchen and breakfast nook for everyday life. A dedicated office gives you a true work-from-home space, and an upstairs bonus suite with its own bath works beautifully as a teen retreat, a guest wing, or a private setup for extended family. With six bedrooms in total, there is room for a growing family, multiple generations under one roof, or simply the space to spread out without anyone living on top of anyone else.

A kitchen that anchors the house

The kitchen is the working heart of the home, with abundant cabinetry, granite counters, a center island with bar seating, and a breakfast nook wrapped in windows that look out to the pool. It flows directly into the family room and its built-ins, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. For a house that is clearly made for entertaining, the kitchen was given the room to do it.

An established address near UCF

Riversbend is the kind of established, tree-canopied neighborhood that newer subdivisions spend decades trying to become. You get mature landscaping, a quiet circular street, and real lot sizes, all just minutes from UCF and the surrounding research and employment corridor. The 408 and 417 are close for commuting in any direction, and everyday shopping and dining are a short drive away. For families who want UCF proximity, or for anyone who values being settled rather than surrounded by construction, the location does a lot of quiet work.

Move-in ready and made for gathering

From the circular drive and manicured front yard to the formal and casual living spaces, the three-car garage, and that resort-style pool out back, this is a home that has been cared for and is ready for its next chapter. It is a property that lives large for a family, hosts effortlessly, and still gives everyone a place to retreat to at the end of the day.

Come see it for yourself

Homes with this much space, this much privacy, and a backyard like this one are hard to find. If you have been looking for room to grow in an established neighborhood near UCF, this one is worth seeing in person.
