Disney Imagineer Home for Sale in Orlando
Orlando’s real estate market just added a truly singular listing with ties to Disney’s creative legacy. Casa Querencia—a Mayan Revival–style lakefront residence at 921 S. Mills Avenue in the coveted Delaney Park neighborhood—was designed and built in 2003 by Disney Imagineer Cicero Greathouse and his wife, artist Que Throm. Located only minutes from Lake Eola and Downtown Orlando, this home blends immersive artistry with everyday livability.

At 3,871 square feet across two stories, Casa Querencia offers three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. The design draws clear inspiration from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and every space feels intentionally crafted—from the sculptural “hands” front door and a Mayan-style gated entry to intricate stained-glass installations that frame the owner’s footed tub.
Interior highlights include custom-colored cement floors, vibrant Talavera tiles, gallery-style foyer walls, and open living areas designed for entertaining. The Talavera-accented kitchen flows to a cozy family room with built-ins and French doors that open to a private courtyard and fountain, a signature indoor-outdoor sequence that enhances Central Florida living.
Casa Querencia also features a double artist studio off the lanai with its own bath and sink area—perfect as a creative workspace, a guest/in-law suite, or a flexible media/game room. The main-floor owner’s suite includes a walk-in closet, an open shower, and a footed soaking tub positioned near stained glass for natural-filtered light, plus convenient access to the laundry room.
A spiral staircase leads upstairs to a loft-style retreat, two guest bedrooms, and a full bath. One bedroom opens to a balcony overlooking the courtyard, adding additional charm and layered views through the property.
Built with durability in mind, the home is constructed of solid concrete, features 8-foot solid-core doors, a commercial-grade roof, and three zoned A/C systems—combining long-term performance with unique architectural character.
Outdoor amenities are intentional and private: a walled courtyard, covered lanai, and a saltwater swimming pool create a sheltered lakefront oasis. The property’s lake access and walkability to nearby cultural attractions make it an ideal pick for buyers who want both creative inspiration and urban convenience.
Beyond the property itself, the Greathouses’ legacy continues in Central Florida—proceeds from their estate are funding new education studios at the Art and History Museums of Maitland, reinforcing the home’s cultural significance to the region.
Listed at $1,465,000, Casa Querencia is more than a house; it’s a piece of Orlando history created by a Disney Imagineer and an artist partnership. For buyers searching for a luxury home with architectural distinction, creative workspace, and a connection to Disney’s world of imagination, this property is a rare offering.
