“Affordable Finds” is The Orlando Shine’s go-to column for Central Florida homebuyers looking to stretch their dollars without sacrificing style, space, or location. Each post spotlights a home priced at $350,000 and under: real homes you can actually afford in neighborhoods across Greater Orlando and surrounding counties. It’s hard work, but we’re here to help.
A four-bedroom brick home in Altamonte Springs is listed at $250,000, and it’s been on the market less than a week with nearly 400 saves. The catch: it’s cash only, which narrows the buyer pool considerably and explains most of the gap between the asking price and estimated value of $338,500.
The 1,713 SF home is located at 518 Lavon Drive [GMap] and was built in 1970 on a quarter-acre lot. It has four bedrooms, one full bath, and one half bath. The kitchen has granite countertops and connects to an addition off the back that expands the living or dining footprint. The roof was replaced in 2022, and the garage was converted into extra living space. There’s also a detached workshop with electricity out back.
The lot is fully fenced, there’s no HOA, and the location is convenient to SR-436 and I-4.
