Home Description

One of the most peaceful, sought-after areas of Old Winter Park is located off Palmer Ave in Lk Knowles Terrace, just steps to Lake Wilbar. This unique, charming one story home has four bedrooms, three baths (two ensuites), and a 23’ x 18’ lanai that steps down into a screened-in tropical landscape complete with a goldfish pond and water running through the rocks. Originally built in 1951 and remodeled in 1998 and 2001, this U-shaped home has a total area of 3424 sf, 2635 sf heated. Features include mansard & cathedral ceilings, bullnose cornered walls, many skylights, French doors, outside grill/sink and a cypress trellis over the wooden deck. Upon entering the home through the living room, your view goes out the French doors to the lanai and terrace, designed by a local award-winning artist/ designer. This outdoor room becomes a wonderful gathering area and ties the house together with French doors opening from the family room, living room and primary bedroom. Skylights create a cozy ambiance of sunlight and moonlight. In the kitchen – “The West Wing” (laundry room is behind), are white Corian counters and walls covered in natural grass cloth. A sloped ceiling with skylight shows off the trees above. The refrigerator and range were replaced in 2022. A built-in bookcase and window seat in the family room create the dining space; large windows bring the outside tropical jungle into the family room and kitchen. “The East Wing” are the private areas. The guest bedroom has a large window with plantation shutters and an ensuite bath. A secondary bedroom shares a full bath across the hall, and the third bedroom (office, dressing area, workout room or nursery) opens to the primary bedroom through pocket doors. The spacious primary suite opens out to the terrace through French doors. Natural light is abundant with skylights in the bedroom, ensuite bath and walk-in closet. This location is prime! You are walking distance to Lk Wilbar, Lk Knowles, Lk. Maitland, Phelps Park, the Winter Park YMCA, and Lakemont Elementary. Within a 1.5-mile radius to the East, you have Interlachen Country Club, Advent Health, the Crosby Wellness Center, Walgreens, and Publix. To the West, Winter Park Racquet Club, Park Avenue, Winter Park Village, and the Winter Park Library. The roof and skylights were replaced in 2022; new water heater installed in 2024. This home has fabulous possibilities! It sits in a beautiful neighborhood with sidewalks and tree lined brick roads, in a charming town with plans to stay this way!
