Property 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 a 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 a 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 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 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 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 en-suite bath, while the second-story porch offers an idyllic vantage point for sunset views over the lake. Outside, the backyard is an oasis with a sprawling lawn, mature landscaping, and plenty of room to add a pool. 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, international and executive airports, and leading hospitals.
