If you've been searching for a Lake Nona home that already has the designer-level finishes you'd choose yourself, 19307 Banfield Place in Summerdale Park delivers something most resale listings don't: it was the builder's model home. The waterfall-edge quartz island, the soft-close cabinetry, and the upgraded black hardware were chosen to showcase the floor plan at its best. Offered at $658,000, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom former model sits on a corner lot in the Summerdale Park community (Nona Orlando Properties). From here, Lake Nona's Medical City corridor is minutes away. That corridor now supports roughly 30,000 jobs and is adding a $423 million AdventHealth hospital this November, staffed by roughly 600 physicians, nurses and staff (Kim Pollaro).
Why this matters now: Lake Nona's Medical City is one of Central Florida's fastest-growing employment hubs. The AdventHealth hospital opening in November 2026 will bring a wave of relocating buyers into the area, and area market research points to 4%–6% home-price growth tied to that hiring wave (Kim Pollaro). A move-in-ready former model in Summerdale Park — priced under the community's average list price — gives buyers a head start before that demand accelerates.
What makes this former model different from a standard resale?
At 2,179 square feet, this single-story Charleston floor plan by Craft Homes feels open and light. The kitchen is the showpiece: quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a built-in oven and microwave, cooktop with vent hood, black hardware, and a waterfall-edge quartz island. It flows into the dining and living areas, creating the kind of continuous gathering space that model homes are designed to sell — and that everyday owners actually use.
What about the primary suite and the laundry connection?
Tucked toward the rear of the home, the primary suite offers natural light, a spacious walk-in closet, and a bath with dual vanities, modern fixtures, and an oversized walk-in shower. One detail that stands out: the laundry room connects directly to the primary bath and closet. It is the kind of practical layout choice that makes daily life smoother — drop towels in the laundry on the way to the closet, grab dry clothes on the way back to the bedroom.
Why the bonus-room potential matters
Here is the feature that sets this listing apart: the Charleston floor plan, built by Craft Homes, was originally offered with an optional second-story bonus-room configuration (Homes by Marco). This home was completed as a single-story model, so the upstairs space was never built. But builder plans document the option, which means a future owner could explore adding living space above the existing footprint — subject to permitting, structural review, and approvals. That is a long-term value play most single-story homes in this price range cannot offer.
What does Summerdale Park offer beyond the front door?
Summerdale Park is a built-out community of roughly 208 single-family homes on Lake Nona's southern edge (Nona Orlando Properties). Residents get a community pool, kayak launch dock, playground, park, sidewalks, and high-speed fiber-optic internet (Lake Nona). Shopping, dining, Medical City, major roadways, and Orlando International Airport are all within a short drive. The home also sits on a landscaped corner lot with an attached 2-car garage and a covered lanai.
