How do you sell a $700,000 house in a non-$700,000 neighborhood?

In East Orlando, because of the sudden growth over the last 10 years, you’ll often see large well-built houses, farms or distinctive properties nestled up against suburban sprawl. When one of those larger-than-every-one-else houses comes on the market, everyone is naturally curious on both the price and how it will sell.

The property shown above, 11135 Lokanotosa Trl, Orlando, FL 32817, is being listed at just over $700,000. What it has going for it is that it’s walking distance to an elementary school and University High School. It’s near UCF and quite close to the Waterford Lakes Town Center. The problem is that it’s kind of like an ugly duckling - it’s not ugly at all, but it stick out so much from the surrounding area that it doesn’t fit in.

The home is being sold by the owner, not handled by any real estate agent.
