One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Welcome to 2225 Barbara Drive, a beautifully refreshed, move-in-ready 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom single-story home with NO HOA and NO CDD. From the moment you arrive, the freshly painted exterior and inviting curb appeal set the tone. Inside, the home has been newly painted throughout, with low-maintenance ceramic tile and laminate flooring—no carpet—for effortless upkeep. A brand-new dishwasher adds to the updates, while the open floor plan with a split bedroom layout and open kitchen creates a bright, functional space filled with natural light—perfect for everyday living and entertaining. The private primary suite features its own full bath and walk-in closet, while two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, a playroom, or a home office. The 2-car garage with custom shelving provides excellent organization and storage, and a backyard shed offers even more room for tools, hobbies, or seasonal décor. Step outside to a fully fenced backyard that’s truly an open canvas—ready for you to create your own backyard oasis. With plenty of room for a pool, outdoor kitchen, or lush garden, this space is ready to be transformed into your personal retreat. The community is its own little peninsula, with canals on two sides leading to Alligator Lake—part of the Alligator Chain of Lakes, a smaller interconnected network within the larger Kissimmee Chain. This property includes private community lake access through the deeded Lot 14, perfect for boating, fishing, and water sports. Known for excellent bass fishing, the Alligator Chain includes Lake Lizzie, Coon Lake, Trout Lake, and Lake Gentry. Alligator Lake, the largest in the chain, spans 3,408 acres, with the entire system navigable by boat through scenic canals. The location is hard to beat—very close to the new high school opening in 2026 and just minutes from Harmony, Lake Nona, Sunbridge, and Orlando International Airport (MCO). You’ll also be within approximately 40–45 minutes of Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, SeaWorld, and the new Epic Universe theme park. For a day at the coast, Melbourne and Cocoa Beaches are only about an hour away, offering the best of both lake and beach lifestyles. Set in a quiet, well-established neighborhood, 2225 Barbara Drive delivers the perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and rare lake access. Whether you’re seeking a primary residence, a vacation retreat, or an investment opportunity, this home offers the ideal Florida lifestyle—close to shopping, dining, schools, and world-class attractions.
