About 1351 American Elm Drive

Listed at $430,000, this 1,978 square foot residence in one of Altamonte Springs’ most sought-after communities had everything today’s buyers are looking for — meaningful updates, a functional layout, and a location that’s hard to beat.

From the moment you pull up, the home makes a great first impression. The decorative paver driveway, freshly manicured lawn, and classic brick and stucco exterior tell you right away this is a well-loved home. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings and an abundance of natural light create an open and airy atmosphere that photographs beautifully and feels even better in person.

The split-bedroom floorplan offers privacy and functionality — something move-up buyers and growing families consistently prioritize. The formal dining room flows naturally into the open-concept kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, a snack bar, and a charming barn door leading to the pantry. The family room sits just off the kitchen making the whole space ideal for entertaining or everyday living.

The primary suite is generous with vaulted ceilings and dual windows, and the updated primary bathroom is genuinely impressive — walk-in glass shower with etched glass doors, dual sinks, water closet, and custom built-in closet organization. The second bathroom was completely renovated with modern wood-look tile, updated vanity, brushed nickel fixtures, and a sleek barnwood-framed mirror. Both bathrooms are move-in ready without a single update needed.

The Florida Room is one of my favorite features of this home. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors flood the space with natural light year-round and open directly to the patio and fully fenced backyard — a private outdoor retreat that’s perfect for morning coffee or weekend gatherings.
