Welcome to refined Florida living in the highly sought-after gated community of Lakeside Estates, one of Winter Park’s most exclusive neighborhoods, where homes rarely come to market. With only 39 residences, this intimate lakefront community offers a level of privacy, prestige, and curb appeal that is increasingly difficult to find. From the moment you pass through the impressive gated entrance framed by a beautifully designed pond, elegant stone wall, and striking fountain, you immediately sense that Lakeside Estates is something special. This Mediterranean-inspired residence showcases timeless architectural design with a stunning stone-accented tower entry, graceful arched architecture, and a classic barrel tile roof, all complemented by a beautifully maintained paver driveway and a welcoming 8-foot front door. Inside, thoughtful craftsmanship is evident throughout, with colonial-style crown molding, designer finishes, and wood-look porcelain plank tile flooring that delivers the warmth of hardwood with exceptional durability. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring white shaker cabinetry with crown molding, quartz countertops with elegant marble-inspired veining, stainless steel appliances, and a double oven. A beautifully appointed butler’s pantry with a built-in wine rack enhances both convenience and sophistication. The versatile floor plan includes a dedicated office, four bedrooms, spacious living areas, and generously sized rooms, creating flexibility for modern lifestyles. The primary suite provides a private retreat with spa-inspired features and ample storage. Step outside to your own backyard oasis featuring an enclosed saltwater pool, peaceful water views, and pre-plumbing for a future outdoor kitchen, making this outdoor space ideal for year-round entertaining. A convenient full pool bath provides easy access for guests while enjoying the outdoor living areas. Additional highlights include wall-mounted garage storage, kayak storage, and thoughtful design details throughout. Residents of Lakeside Estates enjoy access to a community dock where fishing and kayaking are possible, along with a playground and beautifully maintained common areas, all supported by an HOA that maintains the entrance and shared spaces. Ideally located in Winter Park and zoned for highly regarded schools, this home offers a rare opportunity to own within a private gated community where availability is limited, and demand remains strong.
