ORLANDO, FLA. (August 31, 2022) — A historic home in the renowned Lake Eola Heights neighborhood has entered the market for $1.7 million. Located at 213 East Concord Street, this century-old American Four Square-style residence was originally owned by Orlando pioneer John H. Mooney. Marketed exclusively by Chad Isenhart of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Winter Park office, the listing details may be viewed here.
Known for his contributions to the Orlando community, John H. Mooney relocated to the area from Kentucky in 1884, establishing the business block on West Pine Street in downtown and managing a piano, organ and sheet music store known as the Florida Music House. A local businessman, his later success came from planting and managing citrus groves in Central Florida.
Built in 1926, the one-of-a-kind six-bedroom, the four-and-a-half-bath estate is brimming with character, sophistication and authentic attention to detail. From walnut millwork and trim that wrap the fireplace mantel, doorways and windows to carefully refinished oak floors and heart of pine, its fine interior spaces showcase classic elegance and charm. The warm and welcoming kitchen boasts cherry cabinets and stainless steel appliances. A private office is highlighted by floor-to-ceiling built-ins and panoramic windows. The 700-square-foot owner's wing was added in the early 2000s, providing a luxurious suite that complements the home’s timeless architecture. A separate guesthouse features three bedrooms. Additional outstanding appointments include a porte-cochere, French doors and a thick tread wooden staircase with vintage banister.
Lush landscaping surrounds a tranquil backyard oasis. A rare find, there is a 1,100-square-foot basement that offers a root cellar and an original safe conveys with the property. The estate is also equipped with a greenhouse and a five-and-a-half-car garage — ideal for the auto aficionado’s prized collection.
“This notable home presents a unique opportunity to own a part of Central Florida’s past," said Chad Isenhart. "Its exceptional level of craftsmanship, original design elements and serene setting will appeal to the discerning buyer seeking a private retreat near the heart of downtown.”
