Old Winter Park · Lakefront living
The residence
A rare expression of design-forward lakefront living on Lake Sylvan, in the heart of Old Winter Park. The 1936 house was carried through a comprehensive, down-to-the-studs transformation — virtually every major component is new, giving this roughly 2,400-square-foot residence the quality, systems and finishes of a modern custom home.
Framed by mature live oaks and sweeping 180-degree water views, it combines refined craftsmanship with a warm European Contemporary architecture influenced by Belgian design and Organic Modern principles. Minimalist-profile windows hold the water in view from nearly every principal living space.
Inside, natural wood, matte black accents, architectural lighting and tactile materials establish one cohesive, inviting language.
The kitchen
Full-height cabinetry incorporating materials imported from Portugal, extensive integrated pantry storage, a Thermador suite with a 36-inch range and griddle, and a Miele steam oven.
Set at the heart of the living area rather than closed off from it — as natural for a Tuesday morning as for a dinner for twelve, always with the lake close at hand.
Living
A 12-foot sliding glass wall connects the open living area to approximately 1,500 square feet of additional outdoor living: multiple terraces, an integrated outdoor kitchen and landscaped grounds beneath the oak canopy.
Each of the three bedrooms has a private en-suite full bath, with an additional powder room serving the common areas.
The rebuild
The work reaches everything you do not see — the character and proportions of an Old Winter Park house, with the efficiency and peace of mind of new construction.
