In the affluent community of Winter Park, Florida, known for its Old World charm, elegant homes, quaint bricked streets, extensive tree canopy, and proximity to Orlando, a majestic lakefront mansion offers high-end living on the shores of Lake Maitland.
With over 8,000 square feet of luxurious, finely appointed interiors and luxe amenities like a posh billiards room and a 70-foot outdoor pool, the Winter Park home is set on a nearly two-acre lakefront lot.
This means its backyard sits right on the shores of the picturesque Lake Maitland — with 220 feet of frontage. Ready to take a closer look? Beware, this lakeside mansion will likely get you daydreaming about moving to Orlando.
A lakefront location on Lake Maitland
Originally built in 2002, the elegant home is located in the heart of Winter Park, Florida, on a 1.84-acre lot that backs up to the picturesque Lake Maitland, the lowermost lake in the Winter Park Chain of Lakes.
Its backyard has a generous 220 feet of lake frontage, with a boathouse enabling future residents to fully enjoy the lakeside location.
The home has a stately exterior
The home’s Mediterranean-inspired architecture and stucco exterior hint at the luxury that awaits inside, with meticulously landscaped lawns and hedges framing its clean, white façade.
Inside, we find over 8,000 square feet of luxuriously appointed interiors
Past its grand entrance, the Winter Park house packs a generous 8,082 square feet of living space, with a total of 6 bedrooms, 7 full baths and 1 half-bath, a grand foyer, gourmet kitchen, a beautiful primary with a lake-facing balcony, upscale amenities (that we’ll dive into next), and a resort-style backyard that takes full advantage of the home’s lakeside location.
The grand foyer sets the stage
With its soaring ceilings, elegant chandelier, and two-story windows, the grand foyer makes quite the impression and highlights one of the home’s best attributes: its unobstructed, calming views of Lake Maitland.
A billiard room with a bar
To the side, we find a charming billiard room fitted with a wet bar and counter seating that looks like an ideal place to welcome guests and spend full-filled evenings. On one wall, a dual-sided saltwater aquarium adds a note of vibrant nature to both the billiard room and the grand foyer.
The gourmet kitchen is as stylish as it is practical
Featuring top-of-the-line Miele appliances and an expansive center island, the gourmet is as stylish as it is practical, with a warm, elegant look given by the sleek wood paneling and modern light fixtures.
The dining area is right next to the kitchen
The open kitchen has the living room to one side, with a glam dining room to the left and a statement chandelier towering above the dining table, adding a note of opulence to the space.
And features a glass-enclosed wine cellar
The elegant dining room also features a walk-in wine cellar lined with wine bottles and ample storage.
An inviting living room is right past the kitchen and dining areas
Past the kitchen and dining areas, we find a spacious living room with a gas fireplace and warm wood furniture that mimics the design of the kitchen.
With sliding doors that open to an indoor-outdoor living area
Most notably, this room features large sliding doors that open up to the indoor-outdoor living area right outside, practically doubling the space and creating a large space to entertain guests.
Also on the ground floor: a stylish home office
The stylish home office has herringbone floors, floor-to-ceiling built-ins, and a statement chandelier.
And a plush home theater
Another standout amenity of the luxe Florida home is its dedicated media room or home theater, with its plush seating and strategic lighting.
The primary bedroom suite has a lake-facing balcony
The elegant primary bedroom suite consists of a luxurious bedroom with a statement chandelier, a walk-in closet, a separate seating area, and a dual-sided corner fireplace that residents can enjoy from either the bedroom or the adjacent sitting room.
The cherry on top: it also features a lake-facing balcony with serene water views.
The primary bathroom has side-by-side showers
Rounding up the primary suite is an elegant bathroom with side-by-side showers, separate water closets, and a freestanding tub. A rare feature, the windowed shower will allow future residents to shower while taking in the views.
The other bedrooms all have en-suite bathrooms
The other bedrooms all come with their own en-suite bathrooms and walk-in closets and are generously sized.
Outside, a resort-level backyard awaits
Things get even more fun once we step outside, where we find a resort-level backyard with ample seating, water features, and plenty of spaces to enjoy the sunny Florida weather.
The home has a pool, spa, and ample space for lounging
With lounging spaces lining the entire back of the house, there’s no shortage of places to relax after a swim in the 70-foot, resort-style pool.
There’s even an outdoor kitchen
For fun outside gatherings, the home has been fitted with a fully stocked outdoor kitchen with a fireplace, BBQ, and big-screen TV.
More outdoor features
Making the most of its lakeside location, the 1.84-acre property has many more outdoor features, including a fire pit area, a small beach to enjoy picturesque sunsets, and several outdoor fireplaces.
It also has a boathouse
Just in case a boating enthusiast moves in, the Winter Park residence also comes with a boathouse.
And a 1-bedroom apartment with a separate entrance
For guests spending the night, there’s a separate one-bedroom apartment with its own entrance, for added privacy.
The home is up for grabs for $9,995,000
The price tag for all of the above? Just a touch under $10 million, as the property is currently listed for $9,995,000 with Tom Bonner of Coldwell Banker Realty.
