Our List of Must See Homes at the Orlando Parade of Homes 2020

As every year, we get very excited about the Orlando Parade of Homes! For two weekends (and sometimes also during the week) we all get to check out some of Orlando’s most fabulous remodeled homes as well as stunning custom homes, but also new and innovative communities by well known builders. This is not only inspiring for anyone looking to build their dream home or homeowners currently thinking about remodeling their current home, but also for anyone else who has the slightest interest in (beauitful!) homes, architecture and the latest design trends.   

Now since we have a pandemic happening, this year may look a bit different from previous years, but keeping social distancing, mask wearing and other safety guidelines in mind (see video below), the event is still pretty much what it always was: a self guided (socially distant) tour through Orlando’s most stunning new or newly remodeled homes, so enjoy!

Our Favorites at the Orlando Parade of Homes 2016

The Orlando Parade of Homes is taking place from Saturday, July 18 through Sunday, July 26th, 2020.

We were able to tour Homes 1 through 4 from our list below on opening Saturday and added photos we snapped at the homes below! 

It was another great experience at this annual family friendly event! Our boys truly enjoyed admiring these gorgeous homes and it was fun picturing ourselves living in the homes and neighborhoods. We also gathered lots of ideas for the home we are about to build so I’m very grateful for the inspiration.

The tour was very well visited and everyone we talked to was just as suprised about that as we were. Because of the pandemic and the fact that the tour is taking place at an unusual time of year (summer as opposed to spring), the organizers were not expecting crowds. Looks like this was just the perfect socially distant weekend activity though!

We felt safe at all times (masks inside were of course mandatory) and everyone kept their distance. In addition to that hand sanitizer was provided everywhere and high traffic items such as door knobs were wiped down frequently.

We simply couldn’t resist this unique home and its outstanding design. Inspired by the Florida resort town Alys Beach with its Moorish architecture this home is a real show stopper on the outside – and we can only imagine how special it will be on the inside! We heard about quartz countertops, engineered wood floors and even a private front courtyard! And all of this within walking distance to Winter Park’s Park Avenue? What’s not to love?

Get all the details.

Our verdict: We are impressed with what Urban Perch was able to do on such a small lot! No space was wasted in this gorgeous home and we were in love with the amazing front courtyard!

Get all the details.

Our verdict: We could have spent the whole day at this home, but that would have been a bit awkward… This home stood out because of its modern design and amazing lake views! That huge covered balcony is a dream, and how about that sunken bathtub? Definitely earned the “Outstanding Design” ribbon!

This Winter Park charmer is also located just a few blocks from Park Avenue. The farmhouse inspired pool home offers an elegant open-concept floorplan that is probably going to impress all of us.

Our verdict: This was the kids’ favorite home because of its third floor! They had all kinds of ideas how they would use the floor. This is a beautiful home with lots of high quality upgrades and attention to detail.

We are especially excited to see the triple set of 8′ sliders that open to the summer kitchen. If you’re looking for high end upgrades, this home has them all! For that reason we believe this home deserves to be on our “must see list”.

Get all the details.

Our verdict: Wow! This home showcases some stunning design and the sliding doors didn’t disappoint! From accent TV wall to super modern Master bath, this home is worth a visit! Fun fact: you can park 3 cars in this high ceiling 2 car garage thanks to a car lift!
