THE SETTING, AND THE DETAILS
A closer look.
Virtually Staged. Meticulously renovated over two years, this residence reflects more than $875,600 in improvements and was independently appraised above the current asking price on July 2, 2026. Located in the coveted Lake Lawsona Historic District in the heart of downtown Orlando, this extraordinary 1920s estate sits on an oversized double lot with dual street access and features a completely reimagined saltwater pool, among the largest in the area, along with a private studio apartment (ADU) with its own entrance, full kitchen, and bath. Just blocks from acclaimed dining, boutique shops, parks, cultural venues, and entertainment, this distinguished historic residence is surrounded by majestic live oaks and offers a rare combination of privacy, outdoor living, and urban convenience. Inspired by the timeless architectural principles of Andrea Palladio, the home harmoniously blends historic character with modern luxury and exceptional craftsmanship. The property offers a 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath main residence with a private office, spacious laundry room, and an independent ADU ideal for guests, multigenerational living, a home office, or income-producing potential. Nearly every major system has been upgraded or replaced, including the 50-year concrete tile roof (2019), Pella windows, complete plumbing and drain systems, gas tankless water heater, electrical system and panel, dual HVAC systems, ductwork, and insulation (2024–2025). The rebuilt carport includes a new engineered foundation designed to support the expanded primary suite above, featuring its spa-like bath and custom walk-in closet. The expansive double lot provides exceptional privacy and future possibilities, while the completely reimagined saltwater pool retreat is surrounded by elegant white travertine decking and complemented by a covered lanai with motorized screens, creating a private resort-style experience rarely found in an urban setting. The thoughtfully designed interior features soaring ceilings, elegant living spaces, a formal dining room, and a chef’s kitchen with custom cabinetry, oversized island, premium Dacor double ovens, and gas cooktop. The primary suite includes a spa-inspired bath with a freestanding bathtub and expansive custom walk-in closet, while additional bedrooms offer comfort and privacy. Minutes from Lake Eola, Thornton Park, the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, Winter Park, Park Avenue, Michelin-recognized dining, Orlando Health, and AdventHealth, this extraordinary residence offers a rare opportunity to own a fully reimagined historic estate in the center of Orlando’s most desirable urban lifestyle.
