300 E S St

A mid-rise, six-story condominium conversion completed in 2002, The Grande occupies a centrally located Downtown Orlando block near the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. The property is composed primarily of two-bedroom residences arranged as single-level units and a smaller number of two-story townhouse-style condos. Architecture and massing read as contemporary early-2000s residential — stucco-clad exterior, courtyards and covered balconies that overlook mature tropical landscaping. Interior features commonly include high or vaulted ceilings, built-ins, crown molding, solid wood cabinets, stone or solid-surface counters, walk-in closets, open floorplans and combinations of tile, bamboo or carpeted flooring. Many units offer eat-in kitchens, laundry rooms or pantries and living/dining combos; select homes feature corner exposures with skyline views. Shared areas emphasize a neighborhood, amenity-focused lifestyle: a gated entry, resort-style pool, clubhouse and fitness center (with tanning bed reported), courtyard barbecue/entertaining spaces and assigned parking including covered garage spaces in some units. Exterior upgrades and periodic remodels to building fabric and windows have been completed across the association. The community allows investor ownership and short-term rentals in many cases; policies and pet rules vary by unit and association. Its downtown location places residents within easy walking distance of theaters, restaurants, transit, medical centers and Lake Eola, supporting a pedestrian-oriented urban lifestyle.
