One-of-a-kind Downtown Orlando home with a story all its own! Designed and built by the City of Orlando as “The Orlando House: Florida’s Future,” this captivating 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home was created as a demonstration of sustainable, energy-efficient and hurricane-resistant Florida living – and more than two decades later, its forward-thinking design still stands out.
