About the host
Hosted by Randa Black
Hello! I have an upbeat personality and really enjoy having company. I'm a world traveler, an avid kayaker and love the outdoors. I'm also an artist and sculptor working with clay to bronze. We sometimes have art classes on the porch and my little art studio Saturday from 10-1:00 with a group of very talented artists. I built a wheelchair accessible guesthouse on my property when my dad was diagnosed with cancer. I took care of my grandmother, her husband and great uncle as age related care was needed, so I know what's to come. Until my dad needs it, I live there and rent out the front house as a way to pay for finishing the guesthouse. My day job is working in Community Relations with a local TV news station.
Why they chose this property
When I purchased this home in 2007, I choose the location because it's close to everything but when you're home, it feels like a lake house cottage. While updating the home built in 1943 with modern amenities, I took care to keep the character and charm. I turned a small barn/shed into my art studio and added a guesthouse and large porch for conversation and entertaining. I also like that it's close to I-4 and 17/92, two major thoroughfares. It's only a few blocks to the train station with easy access to downtown Orlando.
What makes this property unique
I'm proud of my small 'compound' we affectionately call the "Creative Coterie" which means, 'a gathering of like minds'. I've spent time and funds on landscaping and creating a welcome retreat with a sense of discovery.
