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](https://www.nonaorlandoproperties.com/summerdale-park-lake-nona)). 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](https://www.kimpollaro.com/blog/lake-nona-adventhealth-hospital-2026)).

#### Key Takeaways

-   Former builder model at 19307 Banfield Place — designer finishes throughout, priced at $658,000
-   3 beds, 2 baths, 2,179 sq. ft. on a corner lot in Summerdale Park
-   Minutes from Lake Nona Medical City, a 30,000-job corridor adding a $423M hospital in Nov 2026
-   Charleston floor plan with optional second-story bonus-room potential for future expansion
-   Community amenities: pool, park, playground, kayak launch, and fiber-optic internet

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](https://www.kimpollaro.com/blog/lake-nona-adventhealth-hospital-2026)). 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](https://www.homesbymarco.com/subdivisions/summerdale-park-at-lake-nona-in-orlando-fl)). 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](https://www.nonaorlandoproperties.com/summerdale-park-lake-nona)). 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.
