Description

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. This impeccably restored 1920s residence, inspired by the timeless designs of Italian architect Andrea Palladio, seamlessly blends historic charm with contemporary luxury. Set on a rare double lot shaded by mature Live Oaks and framed by picturesque brick streets, the home offers dual street access and has undergone a meticulous, full-scale renovation. Every inch was thoughtfully reimagined both levels reconfigured to maximize functionality, natural light, and flow while original architectural details were carefully preserved. High ceilings contribute to the home's open, airy feel. The main residence features a flexible layout with three generously proportioned bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms. A detached, fully self-contained one-bedroom, one-bath guest house complete with a private entrance and full kitchen offers ideal accommodations for guests, extended stays, or income generating opportunities. All three newly built bathrooms in the main home feature frameless glass walk-in showers, elegant stone countertops, and premium fixtures. Major system upgrades include new plumbing, electrical, ductwork, and HVAC. Energy efficiency was a priority throughout, with features such as R-38 attic insulation, a tankless water heater, double-pane Pella windows, and custom doors and hardware. The lanai, equipped with motorized shades, offers both privacy and convenience blending indoor comfort with outdoor elegance. At the heart of the home lies a chef's kitchen designed for both beauty and performance. Highlights include a custom island, integrated gas cooktop, Dacor double ovens, and bespoke cabinetry. A floor-to-ceiling sliding glass wall seamlessly connects the interior to a covered lanai and a newly rebuilt 16' wide by 32' long saltwater pool, 8 feet deep, featuring brand-new piping and mechanical systems not typically found in new construction. The home includes three distinct living areas, a formal dining room, and a spacious eat-in kitchen. A sunlit home office and a large laundry room with stone countertops, deep sink, and custom cabinetry add exceptional functionality. A centrally located powder room provides added convenience for guests. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite offers a spa-inspired retreat. The luxurious bath includes a soaking tub, a walk-in shower adorned with Italian Calacatta Gold porcelain tile, champagne gold fixtures, dual Kohler sinks, and Cambria quartz countertops. A custom walk-in closet completes the suite's refined ambiance. Two additional upstairs bedrooms each include en suite bathrooms, offering comfort and privacy for family or guests. Ideally situated just steps from Lake Lawsona and within a short distance of Lake Eola, Thornton Park, Orlando Health, the Orlando Arena, and the Dr. Phillips Center, the home provides effortless access to Orlando's most vibrant destinations. Nearby Winter Park adds to the appeal with its scenic parks, upscale boutiques, renowned art galleries, and acclaimed dining. Cultural institutions like the Morse Museum, Winter Park Historical Museum, and Central Park are also close at hand, along with the Winter Park Golf and Country Club and the Winter Park Chain of Lakes. With Michelin-rated restaurants, a popular Sunday farmers market, SunRail access, and Orlando International Airport just minutes away, this exceptional home presents a rare opportunity to own a landmark property where architectural heritage, modern luxury, and urban convenience intersect.
