There’s a moment when you first arrive at 2100 Mae Street where everything just… slows down. The trees, the water, the quiet, yet somehow you’re still right in the heart of Orlando. It feels like you’ve escaped, but you’re just minutes from shopping, restaurants, hospitals, and the city’s world-famous attractions. And that’s exactly what makes this home so special.
Originally built in 1936, this charming cottage has been completely reimagined into a refined lakefront retreat, where timeless character meets modern luxury in all the right ways. Set on over half an acre along the peaceful shoreline of Crystal Lake, this is the kind of property that simply doesn’t come around often.
Inside, the home unfolds beautifully. Engineered wood floors adorn the dining and living room, where a wood-burning fireplace and built-in shelving accent this cozy gathering space. Natural light pours in from huge windows along the rear of the home, drawing your eye straight through to the water. The fully remodeled custom kitchen is the centerpiece, anchored by a stunning 10-foot island, solid wood soft-close cabinetry with dovetailed drawers, double built-in ovens, and a 166-bottle wine fridge ready for your next gathering. Whether it’s a quiet morning coffee or a lively dinner party, this space rises to the occasion every time.
The owner’s suite feels like a private escape. Wake up to soft lake views and end your evenings with painted sunsets from the comfort of your bed. The spa-inspired bathroom is thoughtfully upgraded with dual sinks, stone counter, a travertine marble floor, a walk-in tiled shower, a heated towel rack, and a Toto toilet, because the little luxuries matter more than you think.
On the opposite side of the home, oversized secondary bedrooms offer comfort and privacy, while the second bath brings a touch of vintage soul with its beautiful clawfoot tub. A smaller fourth bedroom overlooks the front yard and makes a perfect home office.
And then there’s the backyard, where this home truly becomes something unforgettable. A resurfaced saltwater pool, expansive Trex deck, and a private floating dock create a setting that feels more like a boutique resort than a personal residence. Take the paddleboat out for a sunset cruise, host unforgettable gatherings, or simply unwind and let the lake do what it does best: a chance for a more peaceful way of living.
Behind the scenes, nearly everything has been taken care of for you, including a new HVAC, water heater, pool motor, irrigation pump, dishwasher, washer and dryer, EV charging station, and a newer roof, so you can focus on enjoying the lifestyle, not managing the home.
The circular driveway welcomes guests with ease, while the rare double-stacked 4-car garage, complete with an included generator and refrigerator, gives you all the space you didn’t think you’d find this close to downtown. Whether you have a boat, a classic car collection, or fun toys that need to be stored, this garage has room for it all.
This isn’t just a home, it’s a feeling. A place where historic charm, modern design, and lakefront living come together in a way that’s incredibly hard to replicate.
Homes like this don’t sit quietly for long. Come experience it for yourself and be ready to fall in love.
