About 4417 Tidewater Drive
Natural light doesn’t just come through the windows here. It’s built into the architecture. Skylights, oversized windows, and wide glass sliders fill this 1977 Lake Conway Woods home with sunlight and give its more than 2,500 square feet a character that’s incredibly hard to recreate. With 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a private pool, and nearly a third of an acre, the house pairs unmistakable 1970s Florida architecture with the space and updates that make it work beautifully today. The living spaces are big, open, and connected without losing their individual purpose. Hardwood floors run through much of the home, plantation shutters frame the windows, and a fireplace anchors the living area. The remodeled kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, a center island, and skylights overhead. A second living space brings another fireplace, more skylights, and wide sliders overlooking the pool. The spacious primary suite includes custom closet storage and an updated bath with a large walk-in shower and dual vanity, while two additional bedrooms and a second full bath round out the split floor plan. Out back, an exceptionally deep covered lanai creates a true outdoor living space overlooking the private pool. The pool and surrounding deck take center stage, with plenty of room to lounge, dine, and entertain beneath the covered lanai or out in the Florida sun. Major updates include the remodeled kitchen and replumbing (2015), roof in (2017), hurricane-rated windows and slider (2018), bathroom remodel (2020), water heater (2023), A/C (2025), and refrigerator (2026). The termite bond was renewed in August 2026 and is transferable for $95. Lake Conway Woods brings even more to the table with mature trees, larger lots, and a remarkably low mandatory HOA. Residents enjoy a community boat ramp and fishing dock with access to the Lake Conway Chain of Lakes. Even the neighborhood’s original street layout was designed in places around preserving mature oak trees, a detail that still helps define its character today. And the location is hard to beat. You’re close to the restaurants, coffee shops, and neighborhood spots of Hourglass and SoDo, with Downtown Orlando, Orlando Health, Orlando International Airport, SR-408, and SR-528 all within easy reach. Nearly five decades later, 4417 Tidewater still feels like a house designed specifically for Florida: low-slung, light-filled, connected to the outdoors, and close to everything without giving up the space that makes it feel like home.
