This is not your typical Sanford home. Tucked away in the desirable Lake Sylvan area of west Sanford, this 3-bedroom home sits on an oversized 0.31-acre fully fenced lot with no HOA, offering a rare combination of privacy, flexibility, storage, and room for all the extras. Bring the RV, boat, trailer, work vehicles, or weekend toys. An electric gate provides convenient access to the backyard, where an RV electrical hookup is already in place along with a detached 2-car garage with electricity - ideal for vehicles, a workshop, tools, hobbies, equipment, or additional storage. And that’s not the only bonus space. The attached garage is under A/C with finished tile flooring, giving you even more flexibility for a home gym, office, hobby space, temperature-controlled storage, or whatever fits your lifestyle. Just off the dining area, French doors open to a spacious screened lanai, creating a comfortable extension of the home for morning coffee, outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing while enjoying the oversized backyard. Inside, you’ll find an updated kitchen with granite countertops and abundant cabinetry, fresh interior paint, newer flooring in all three bedrooms, and plenty of storage throughout the home. Major improvements have already been completed, including a new roof in 2025 with a 15-year transferable warranty and fresh exterior paint in 2025. Spray-foam insulation in the attic and a UV light system in the A/C add even more value and efficiency. The property is serviced by a private well, meaning no monthly municipal water bill, and the water system has been upgraded with a newer water softener, filtration system, and UV water treatment. A surveillance system is also included with the property. The location may be one of this home’s best-kept secrets. Enjoy the quieter Lake Sylvan setting while remaining close to the Lake Mary and Heathrow corridor, shopping, dining, recreation, and everyday conveniences. Sylvan Lake Park and Sports Training Center are nearby, and commuters will appreciate convenient access to I-4, SR 46, SR 417, and SR 429. The property is also located within Seminole County Public Schools, an A-rated school district and one of the highest-ranked public school districts in Central Florida. No HOA. Oversized fenced lot. Two garage areas. Detached garage with electricity. RV access and hookup. Private well. Screened lanai. Extensive storage. Major updates already completed. And a location that gives you room to spread out without giving up convenient access to everything Central Florida has to offer. Some homes simply check more boxes than others. Schedule your private showing and come see just how much 7311 Canal Drive has to offer!
