BACK ON MARKET. Welcome to the Merrie Oaks Village community located in the City of Winter Park. Designed by architect Nils Schweizer, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, this boutique community comprised of 13 homes offers the feeling of a single-family home. 262 Balfour is a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath with an open floor plan. Some of the features include floor to ceiling tempered glass windows, solid wood floors, new stainless kitchen appliances, tiled back splash, wood cabinets, stone counters, recessed lighting and 18 ft. high ceiling in the formal living room with a gas fireplace. French doors lead to a tiled family room with built in bookshelves and extra storage. Tempered glass door with privacy shades leads to an outdoor living space ideal for a summer kitchen, entertaining or a good book. Follow the solid wood staircase with wrought iron hand railing to the three bedrooms and 2 full baths. Enjoy a garden view from the master suite, double pane sliding glass door, large walk-in shower and closet. The second bath features a spa tub and skylight. The loft is a great space for an office, library, art studio or a good book. There is a lovely flow to this home with plenty of closet and storage space. The two-car garage features an 80-gallon hot water heater, washer and dryer and built-in shelving. Up on the roof you will find solar panels. One panel will heat water directly from the sun which circulates to the hot water heater. The other panels generate electricity for the house with possible cost savings at the end of the month. Leaf guard was recently installed on the rain gutters. Merrie Oaks is close to shopping, restaurants, public transportation, the Advent Health Medical Campus, Cady Way Park, bike trails and the new public library. The sellers have taken great care of their home.
