MAITLAND, FL 32751 2350 DERBYSHIRE ROAD

There’s a quiet confidence to this one. The kind of home that feels like it was meant to last. This isn’t a teardown. It’s something better — a full reinvention that preserves what made Maitland homes timeless: solid block construction, a low-pitched roofline, a footprint that flows. The painted white brick, black shutters, and wide front porch hold onto that mid-century integrity without feeling frozen in time. Inside, the renovation doesn’t overreach. Instead, it refines. The living areas are open, but grounded. Spaces connect, not collide. Craftsman-style baseboards, framed openings, and wide-plank flooring bring a clean, structured look to every room. Crisp white walls and soft natural light give the space quiet presence. The kitchen walks the line between classic and current: professional-grade appliances, navy and white cabinetry, quartz counters, matte gold hardware. It’s thoughtful and modern without shouting. The oversized island isn’t just for prep — it’s where everything happens: gathering, eating, homework — all flowing into the living room with its brick fireplace and big, bright windows. Bedrooms run along one wing, separated just enough from the living spaces. The primary suite is generously sized, with space for a full sitting area and transom-style windows that let in filtered light while keeping privacy intact. Both bathrooms strike the right balance: vintage-inspired tile, modern fixtures, and a palette that feels calm, clean, and considered. Oversized sliders open onto a wide pool deck, where the lines between inside and out disappear. True to its Maitland roots, the backyard is anchored by a full-size pool—an honest nod to an era when outdoor living wasn’t an afterthought, but a priority. It’s the kind of space made for slow mornings, unhurried weekends, and summer evenings that last a little longer than planned. Just a few blocks away, a shaded boardwalk leads into Maitland Community Park—tennis courts, trails, and playgrounds tucked beneath the trees. This pocket of Maitland stays quiet but connected, close to local favorites and major roads, with an optional HOA and a pace that feels just right. This home doesn’t try too hard. It honors its roots—and lives like it’s ready for what’s next. In a city built on mid-century pride, this one simply does it better.
