This distinguished 1928 Craftsman-style home sits proudly on an expansive .53-acre, R-2 zoned lot—a rarity in this sought-after area—and offers a harmonious blend of original architectural character and thoughtful modern updates. Once owned by the Collie Biggers family, early pioneers of Winter Garden’s movie theatre legacy, the home has been lovingly cared for over the past 34 years by its current owners, fondly remembered as the faces behind the cherished local eatery "Downtown Brown’s."

The heart of the home is a custom kitchen outfitted with timeless cabinetry, stainless appliances, double ovens, natural gas 6-burner cooktop with hood, and a new French door refrigerator (2025). New luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout the kitchen, family room, sunroom, and main-level powder bath, offering beauty and durability. Upstairs, a private primary suite features gleaming hardwood floors, a huge walk-in closet, convenient washer/dryer cubby, and a spacious en-suite bath with clawfoot tub and tiled shower—your personal retreat.
