Property Description

Virtually Staged. This exceptional Winter Park residence offers a floor plan rarely found in the area, with nearly all living spaces thoughtfully positioned on a single level for effortless everyday living. Completely rebuilt in 2018 by renowned custom builder Posada Homes, a member of the elite Master Custom Builders Council, the home blends modern design, crisp architectural lines, and timeless elegance across an expansive 0.39-acre lot along one of Winter Park’s most picturesque tree-lined streets. The home immediately captivates with its refined architecture and beautifully manicured grounds. Inside, sunlight streams through expansive windows, illuminating hardwood flooring, intricate millwork, and thoughtfully curated finishes that reflect the craftsmanship of a true custom build. Just off the foyer, a hidden wine room provides a sophisticated surprise, perfect for those who love to entertain. At the center of the home is the chef’s kitchen designed for both beauty and functionality. Outfitted with premium Thermador appliances, sleek quartz countertops, a generous center island, and custom cabinetry, the kitchen flows effortlessly into the expansive great room where high ceilings, designer lighting, and elegant architectural details create an atmosphere that is both inviting and refined. Tucked away for privacy, the primary suite is positioned just off a luxurious family room featuring custom built-ins and a gas fireplace. The primary suite itself is a true sanctuary, complete with a sitting area, private coffee bar, and a spa-inspired bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, and an oversized walk-in shower. Rarely found in Winter Park, all bedrooms are conveniently located on one level, including two primary suites, allowing the home to deliver seamless livability without sacrificing architectural interest or sophistication. Upstairs, a private office, half bath, and bonus room provide the perfect space for work, media, recreation, or relaxation. Outdoors, the home transforms into a private resort-style retreat. A covered lanai overlooks the sparkling pool and expansive grounds, creating the ideal setting for entertaining or quiet evenings at home. Adding even more flexibility, a 252-square-foot detached studio currently functions as a gym but could easily become a summer kitchen cabana, guest retreat, or art studio. Located within walking distance of Park Avenue’s boutiques, restaurants, and cafés, and just moments from Rollins College and the Winter Park Chain of Lakes, this residence embodies luxury living at its finest. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own one of Winter Park’s most outstanding homes. The current flooring offers a rich look, and for those who prefer a lighter palette, the seller is open to providing a credit toward flooring updates and coordinating the installation of new flooring if desired.
