It may come as a surprise to fans, especially given his job hosting “My Lottery Dream Home,” but house hunting was a foreign concept for David Bromstad. “This is the first house I’ve owned on my own,” he told Realtor.com. The reality star first chose his dream city -– Orlando -– because that’s where his best friends are. It’s also close to his parents who retired in The Villages. He then honed in on the exact spot where he wanted to shop, telling Orlando Sentinel in 2020, “I have it narrowed down to one street in College Park where you can experience urban living with a small-town feel.”
In the end, he pivoted to the nearby Winter Park neighborhood, per Velvet Ropes, and snapped up a 2,866-square-foot property. The spacious house features an open concept, blending living and dining on the main floor. It also boasts a pretty home office with a view out onto the backyard –- complete with a pool! –- plus spacious walk-in closets, five bedrooms, and four bathrooms. As a bonus, much of the home was newly renovated and didn’t need any structural work.
What it did need was some signature Bromstad pizazz. “It’s going to be delicious, tasteful, bold, but yet really comforting,” he told Realtor.com. Indeed, he instantly started planning to overhaul the neutral color palette. As he told HGTV, he was going all in on bright paints and flashy wallpaper and planned to “add a few little zhuzhey things to make it delicious.”
