Welcome home to a gated estate on one of the most desired streets in Winter Park, on a half-acre with a separate guesthouse and a short distance to Park Avenue, Kraft Azalea Gardens and Winter Park Racquet Club. Timeless elegance and flawless artistry blend perfectly with modern comfort and function in this one-of-a-kind custom home originally designed for the mayor of Winter Park in the 1920s.

A brick, front circle driveway invites you into open dining and living room areas with a marble fireplace and stairs to the upstairs bedroom suites.

Black and white marble adorn the veranda floor and electronic Phantom Screens to enjoy Florida in all seasons. A resort-style pool and hot tub with a covered arbor and architecturally landscaped grounds ensure the highest level of privacy and lush backdrop to the home. The kitchen sparkles with custom cabinetry, Wolf appliances, the finest Italian marble, large center island and an adjacent space for a breakfast table.
