843 Brockway Ave., Orlando, FL 32807

Thanks to a decade's worth of improvements by its current owner, this residence is more than just a house -- it is a home, modern and move-in ready. The jewel in this crown is the kitchen, featuring stainless-steel Whirlpool appliances and black pearl granite countertops. The touches of renovation are too numerous to list, but everything from doors to tile flooring to double-pane windows are in like-new condition. Outside of the house is similarly a step above the rest, with a storage shed in the conservation backyard, and an extra parking space added to the driveway. Rounding out this wonderful package is a built-in alarm system, a sprinkler system which conserves water by drawing from a well, and the freedom that comes from having no homeowner's association.
