The fate of the old home near the shores of Lake Sue was almost certain: death by bulldozer.
It’s the same demise one out of every eight homes in Winter Park — or more than 1,000 in the last two decades — meets when prospective buyers decide the dirt is worth more than the house.
And the 1,900-square-foot bungalow with a round sun room wasn’t any different. Mansions had already gone up all around it, leaving the house looking like a knee-high toddler at a party of adults.
