Description

This spacious 2-bedroom condo features 2 full baths and sits nestled in the back upper corner of the Barcelona building of Orchid Springs! It is NOT a 55+ community, so families and young folks are welcome! This gorgeous condo could be your very own Florida home or investment property. Enjoy stunning views from three sides, with plenty of natural light and air flow only available on end units. Recent upgrades including non-popcorn ceilings, an acoustic ceiling in the kitchen, neutral vinyl plank flooring throughout, and neutral monochromatic ZERO VOC paint. No mismatched floorings or walls, no plastic kitchen ceilings, no carpeting, no outdated popcorn ceilings, and no bedrooms carved out of living room space commonly found in condos. There is an updated full-sized kitchen, not just a galley, that boasts 17 cabinets, 10 drawers & a pantry. It has a spacious great room/dining area, and large primary bedroom easily can handle a king size bed with a full en suite bath & a spacious walk-in closet with hardwood shelves and rods, ready for customization for your personal wardrobe needs! The second bedroom is ample and ready to use for your family member, roommate, or a home office . The stairway is just outside the door, with assigned parking below. And importantly, there is almost zero foot traffic from delivery people or other residents passing in front of this unit since it is the only one on the back side of the stairs in its own little corner! This additional privacy is rare and priceless! You will enjoy walking the ample, lush grounds of Orchid Springs while not having to do outdoor chores in the Florida heat. One small monthly HOA/Management fee (unchanged from 2025) of $312.69 is one of the lowest in this area, and makes this an affordable housing opportunity. The fee covers the building exterior, grounds maintenance, parking lot, laundry & mailroom, common gas water heaters, tree care, water, sewer, trash disposal, gas for heating/cooking if desired, exterior pest control, capital accounts, etc. Of special note is that the electricity SMART meter bank is located in a different building on the first floor, not in this unit, so there is lesser than normal radiation found on a tri-field meter. Also, 5 HOA commercial hot water heaters are in a lower floor common room to serve all of Barcelona, so one less appliance for the homeowner to buy and maintain! Same with the common area HOA laundry facility- no personal washers or dryers to buy or maintain. This unit is around the corner from Legoland, conveniently situated between Orlando & Tampa. Southeast Winter Haven is surrounded by its famous Chain-O-Lakes known for boating, fishing and waterski shows available for you to enjoy! IMPORTANT NOTE: the Barcelona Building and this condominium unit are NOT subject to the statutory engineering inspections and repairs that many high rise condos 3+ stories tall are, thus eliminating the potential associated astronomical, unanticipated assessments that may occur as a result.
