1502 Orchard Park Drive is in the small, gated community of The Courts in Parkway Villages. Known in the neighborhood as the fabulous home with the "Resort Backyard", buyers will be blown away by the property inside and out!
Flagstone pavers welcome you in the front yard and continue throughout the exterior of the property.
Plantation shutters grace each window and solid wood (not engineered) flooring is throughout the first floor of the home.
Your first impression will be of the gorgeous wood flooring, the height of the ceilings,, the many windows, the crown moldings, and decorative trim. To the left of the foyer is the study with its French doors which provide privacy when closed.
Sunshine fills this room! Perfect for a personal workspace - light wood floors make it the ideal setting for either contemporary or traditional furnishings.

The formal dining room is just down the hall from the kitchen, through the double doors.
There is an easy flow throughout the house. Note the hallway leading to the kitchen. The single door in the photo is to the powder room. 
These doors leading to the outdoors is off a wide hallway that floods this area with lots of natural iight! 
Great photo that shows the convenient relationship between the living room and the kitchen. Once a traditional fireplace with a traditional mantle, it has been transformed into a transitional space for large artwork or that big screen TV!
The living room wall is totally composed of large windows looking out on the beautiful pool, backyard, and pool house!
Spacious kitchen has an island with a 5 burner gas cooktop, KitchenAid stainless appliances, under cabinet lighting, and gorgeous Quartz countertops and backsplash.

Home has a surprise extra room located behind the double doors.
So many uses for this extra space - owners presently use the room to exercise and as an additional office.
Have your informal meals in the breakfast area while enjoying a view of your backyard! The built in sideboard is not only handy for displaying your favorite china or collectibles, but SO useful for parties and large get togethers.
These double doors lead to the primary bedroom and bath. The laundry is behind the door on the right.
Very private primary bedroom also has beautiful White Oak floors, an attractive tray ceiling, and a lovely sitting area.
You can just see the tub in the totally renovated primary bathroom through the wide doorway.
Attractive and practical tile leads to the soaking tub and the open concept shower at the end of the bathroom. Two sinks and a sit down vanity, all with marble countertops.
Timeless design!
Generously sized closet with wood flooring, not carpet.
Time to view the upstairs.
The upstairs flex space - will you use it as your TV room? A game room? Or maybe a library with the many built-in shelves!
Another view of this great multi use space.
Secondary bedroom has a great view of the front yard and the culdesac street.
Carpet in both upstairs bedrooms was replaced in 2022.
Remodeled secondary bathroom (tub, floor tile, cabinet, and Quartz countertop) is located between the two upstairs bedrooms.
This sweet bedroom has two alcoves with window seats.
Two delightful window seats in this back bedroom.
