1228 N Park Ave, Winter Park, FL 32789

Presenting a rare opportunity nestled within the enclave of Twelve Oaks, one of the most coveted areas in Winter Park. Set along a private drive with only a dozen residences this Spanish farmhouse was crafted under the discerning eyes of architect Gary Hancock and master builder Carlos Posada. Spanning 5,320 square feet, this house boasts 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths and 2 half baths. It is the essence of “Olde Winter Park” but was built in 2002. As you enter through the front courtyard and the custom front door you are welcomed into the gathering room adorned with a 13-foot pecky cypress beamed ceiling, Saltillo tile, and a stone fireplace. There is a seamless transition to the loggia that opens to the serene courtyard. The farmhouse gathering kitchen offers opportunities for cooking, dining, and conversation and also opens to the loggia. The first-floor primary suite offers a vaulted ceiling, Australian cypress wood floors, large walk-in closet, adjoining room that can be for exercise or a sitting room to compliment the primary bedroom, and a “hidden” entrance into a fully wood paneled study with built in bookcases and fireplace. The exercise room and study both open to another screened porch. Upstairs you will find 3 bedrooms with 3 full baths and ample closets and storage. The back courtyard is surrounded by beautiful flowers, landscaping and lighting and is covered with a canopy of trees. You will find a fireplace, outdoor kitchen, dining area, and steps leading to the mother-in-law suite over the garage. This well-loved home has been well maintained, with thoughtful details that add to its undeniable charm. Once described as “magical”, this property is truly the essence of Olde Winter Park living. Close to the charming boutiques and restaurants on Park Avenue.
