where every day feels like a getaway. This beautifully reimagined 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence offers 3,142 square feet of inspired
living space set amid lush, tropical landscaping — all within the best
of Winter Park and Maitland. The canal allows for full Lake Maitland
and Winter Park Chain of Lakes access by powerboat. (Current owners
have a 19' outboard they use to pull tubes, ski, wakeboard, quick
trips to dog island and entertaining via scenic tours through the
Winter Park Chain of Lakes. Bring your own boat / kayaks and enjoy. (An outboard boat is recommended as the canal depth varies.) Originally built in 1959 and completely
renovated in 2022, this two-story retreat combines rustic charm with
modern luxury. Step inside to discover an open floor plan anchored by
a gas fireplace, open kitchen and dining room, warm custom woodwork,
and thoughtful built-ins throughout. The renovation includes new
electrical, plumbing, new kitchen and baths, engineered hardwood
flooring throughout, amongst many more upgrades. The redesigned layout
adds over 1,000 square feet, featuring a spacious first-floor laundry
room and an all-new second story with a luxurious primary suite, a
guest bedroom (currently used as an office), and a full bathroom. Outdoors, enjoy a new boathouse on a canal and an inviting outdoor
living area — perfect for entertaining or unwinding along the peaceful
canal that connects directly to Lake Maitland and the renowned Winter
Park Chain of Lakes. The rear of the property backs up to a wooded
conservation area that provides privacy and tranquility. The current
owner received a variance for a future pool, and Orange County
previously had no objections to pool installation (new owner would
need to reapply). The property sits in one of Central Florida’s most
sought-after school zones: Dommerich Elementary, Maitland Middle, and
Winter Park High. Families here often bike or walk to school. Enjoy
regular walks through scenic streets lined with mature cypress trees,
palms, vibrant native vegetation and beautiful homes that line Lake
Maitland. From the modern amenities and artful landscaping
to the serene waterfront setting, this is truly a one-of-a-kind
property that blends nature, comfort, and sophistication in the heart
of Winter Park. Canal boat tour video that showcases the trip from
the canal to Lake Maitland is available via the virtual tour link in
the listing.
