About this home
Looking for a home with character, sophistication, and a design that feels completely unique? This Winter Park residence delivers a truly custom home build with nearly all of the living space on one level. Completely rebuilt in 2018 by Posada Homes, a member of the Master Custom Builders Council, the home sits on a rare 0.39 acres lot along a picturesque, tree-lined street within walking distance to Park Avenue. Beyond the beautifully manicured grounds, expansive windows fill the interiors with natural light, highlighting hardwood floors, intricate millwork, and crisp architectural lines. Each space reveals thoughtful details, from the hidden wine room just off the foyer to the custom built-ins and gas fireplace that lend warmth to the family room. The kitchen brings together custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, premium Thermador appliances, and a generous center island. Open to the expansive great room, it creates a natural gathering place for everything from quiet mornings to lively evenings with friends. High ceilings and designer lighting complement the architecture while keeping the atmosphere inviting. Privately positioned off the family room, the primary suite offers room to truly unwind, with a sitting area, private coffee bar, and a spacious bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, and an oversized walk-in shower. A second main-level primary suite adds flexibility for hosting overnight guests or accommodating multigenerational living. Upstairs, a private office, half bath, and bonus room provide dedicated space for work, media, or recreation. Outside, a covered lanai overlooks the sparkling pool and expansive grounds, extending the home’s gathering spaces into a peaceful outdoor setting. A detached, 252-square-foot studio, currently used as a gym, offers additional space for fitness, creative pursuits, or a private escape. Park Avenue’s boutiques, restaurants, and cafés are within walking distance, with Rollins College and the Winter Park Chain of Lakes close by. Here, custom craftsmanship, a predominantly single-level layout, and a coveted Winter Park setting come together in a home designed to be enjoyed every day. For buyers who envision a lighter interior palette, the seller is open to providing a credit toward flooring updates and coordinating installation, an opportunity to personalize the home’s aesthetic with added convenience....
