136 E Esther Street Unit BOrlando, FL, 32806

Tucked into one of SoDo's quietest pockets, this fully renovated Mediterranean retreat brings something rare to the neighborhood. Two stories of clay tile and arched columns, sitting under oaks dripping with Spanish moss on a street where the architecture usually plays it safe. You slow down when you drive past. Everyone does. The arched wooden door opens to wide plank floors underfoot. Light pours in from every angle. Crown molding wraps the room like trim on a tailored suit. Straight ahead, a powder room. To your left, the dining space with French doors back out to the porch. Beyond that, the kitchen waits. White shaker cabinets climb the wall. Brushed gold pulls catch the light. A seaglass backsplash rises behind the stove in soft waves, the kind of green that looks like the Mediterranean on a calm day. A gold faucet arcs over a stainless sink set into the peninsula, where a waterfall quartz counter spills to the floor like a piece of sculpture. KitchenAid + Frigidaire appliances. Built-oven. You'll cook here. You'll pour wine here. You'll lean on this counter at midnight, still talking. Upstairs, the primary delivers. French doors. Walk-in closet. A balcony. All yours. You'll drink coffee out there. You'll watch storms roll in. You'll forget, for a minute, that you live in the city. The ensuite gives spa vibes with a freestanding tub beneath a black-framed window, a walk-in shower wrapped in vertical seaglass tile, a long double vanity, and a closet that actually fits your life. The second bedroom has a covered balcony of its own, because one wasn't going to be enough. The third anchors the front of the home, with three tall black-trimmed windows pulling the canopy inside. Laundry lives upstairs, where laundry belongs. Back outside, the covered breezeway runs the length of the home, arches repeating, leading past the carport, through the paver courtyard, to a private garage at the back. Two parking spaces. In SoDo. Ask anyone what that's worth. Ah, yes. SoDo. You almost forgot where you were. The Hourglass District is your living room. Foxtail your kitchen on Saturdays. Wadeview Park your backyard. SoDo shopping handles the rest. Downtown five minutes north. Thornton Park right behind it. ORMC around the corner. Zoned for Blankner K-8 and Boone High. Go Braves. This is what living in SoDo is supposed to feel like.
