Full Description
Exuding timeless charm and Southern elegance, this gorgeous Charleston-style residence sits on a large lot overlooking the tranquil waters of Lake Knowles. Framed by a picturesque brick street lined with beautiful homes, the property boasts striking curb appeal, a 32-foot second-story porch with breathtaking sunset views, and classic architectural details that invite you in at every turn. A charming brick firepit area in the front yard offers the perfect spot to gather on cool evenings while taking in peaceful lake vistas. Thoughtfully renovated, the home seamlessly blends modern comforts with preserved character, including gleaming hardwood floors, French doors, and a welcoming, light-filled layout.
The front living room is anchored by the home’s original 1954 wood-burning fireplace, a timeless centerpiece flanked by built-in shelving. It's the perfect spot to curl up with a good book, open all three sets of French doors, and enjoy the crisp air and sparkling views of Lake Knowles. Whether you're sipping cocktails on a winter evening or coffee on a quiet morning, the space offers a truly special setting. For over 50 years, residents have gathered to admire the beloved Lake Knowles Christmas tree, its colorful lights casting a magical glow across the water—just one of the many traditions that make this location so cherished.
A family room flows into the dining room, where French doors lead to a charming brick patio for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining. The chef’s kitchen is a dream, featuring top-of-the-line appliances, a generous island with seating, a walk-in pantry, and a stylish dry bar that connects to both the kitchen and living room.
The first-floor primary suite offers a serene retreat with French doors opening to the patio, dual closets (including a walk-in), and a luxurious bath with a large glass shower, dual sinks, and a private water closet. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a cozy den or TV room provide inviting spaces for family and guests. The third bedroom includes a spacious walk-in closet and an ensuite bath, while the second-story porch offers an idyllic vantage point for sunset views over the lake.
Outside, the backyard is a true oasis with a sprawling lawn, mature landscaping, and plenty of room to add a pool. Located just a short bike ride from Park Avenue’s boutiques, fine dining, and Central Park, the home is also minutes from the weekly Farmer’s Market, top-rated schools, and major roadways for easy access to downtown Orlando, the international and executive airports, and leading hospitals.
