Florida, Orange County, Winter Park, USA

Presenting an extraordinary Southern Traditional estate in the heart of the coveted Vias of Winter Park—a residence that effortlessly blends timeless architecture with exceptional craftsmanship. This stunning home, designed by acclaimed architect Gary Hancock, made its debut as the Southeast Builder’s Conference Showhouse for two consecutive years—a true testament to its design and quality.

From the moment you arrive, the home’s presence is both elegant and inviting. A circular drive leads to a charming porte-cochère and an extended driveway, culminating in a three-car garage. The façade is defined by classic columns, a welcoming second-floor balcony, and eleven glowing Bevolo gas lanterns from New Orleans, while nineteen matching electric lanterns illuminate the backyard, casting a warm, timeless ambiance across the property.

Inside, every detail tells a story. Reclaimed Chinese Elm wood floors—rich with character and history—flow throughout the main living spaces, perfectly complemented by soaring ceilings adorned with striking wood beams. The kitchen is both a showpiece and a workspace, outfitted with premium Thermador appliances, including a 6-burner range, steam oven, warming drawer, and dual integrated refrigerators. Antique ceiling tiles form a distinctive backsplash, while custom cabinetry with replicated antique float glass adds a layer of understated sophistication. A hidden walk-in pantry enhances both form and function.

The kitchen opens into a grand great room anchored by a fireplace and custom built-ins, creating an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining. Beyond, a versatile billiards room shares a dramatic two-sided fireplace and features a full wet bar, wine refrigeration, dishwasher, and an adjacent full bath—perfectly suited as a pool bath. The dining room, framed by French doors, offers serene views of the covered lanai and lush backyard.

The first-floor primary suite is a private retreat designed for comfort and convenience. A fireplace anchors the space, while thoughtful amenities include a private laundry room, custom walk-in closet, and a well-appointed wet bar with leathered granite counters, a Thermador fridge and a dishwasher. The primary bath serves as the main spa-like experience, featuring a marble walk-in shower, a soaking tub, and dual vanities. A second, separate full bath within the suite provides additional functionality.

Upstairs, accessible by a sweeping curved staircase or elevator, you’ll find three generously sized ensuite bedrooms and a bonus room complete with a wet bar and access to the rear covered balcony while two bedrooms have access to the front covered balcony —perfect for enjoying morning light or evening breezes. A third-floor retreat, currently used as a playroom, offers endless possibilities for a home office or studio.

Outdoor living is equally compelling, with a large covered lanai overlooking a resort-style pool and expansive backyard designed for relaxation and entertaining.

Ideally located just minutes from the boutiques and dining of Park Avenue and within walking or biking distance to the Winter Park Racquet Club, this exceptional home is set among the tree-lined streets and distinguished estates that define the Vias—one of Winter Park’s most sought-after neighborhoods.

A rare offering where classic elegance, thoughtful design, and modern livability come together beautifully.
