About This Property

LOCATION. LIFESTYLE. TIMELESS WINTER PARK CHARM. Discover an exceptional opportunity in Lake Knowles Terrace, where classic character, effortless comfort, and an enviable location come together beautifully.
From the moment you arrive, the home makes an unforgettable first impression with charming curb appeal, elegant walkways, a brick-paver driveway, and a picturesque cobblestone brick road just off Palmer Avenue. Ideally positioned just one block from Lake Knowles and moments from Park Avenue, this residence offers the quintessential Winter Park lifestyle—peaceful, private, and exceptionally convenient.
Step through the front door and into a light-filled, thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom, 1.5 bath residence offering approximately 1,100 square feet of comfortable living space. The inviting interior balances timeless charm with tasteful updates, creating a warm setting for both everyday living and entertaining.
At the heart of the home, the beautifully updated kitchen features luxurious quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, and generous storage, seamlessly opening to the family room. Sunlight pours through the windows, illuminating the space while a classic brick fireplace serves as a striking focal point, creating an inviting ambiance for cozy evenings and memorable gatherings.
The home also offers a dedicated dining area and two comfortable bedrooms, complemented by a beautifully updated bathroom with stylish decorative finishes. Impeccably maintained throughout, the residence showcases wood flooring in the wet areas and an overall sense of care and refinement.
The living experience continues outdoors, where the distinction between indoor and outdoor living nearly disappears. Step onto the newly constructed deck, pour a glass of wine, and unwind to the peaceful sounds of nature. The spacious homesite provides plenty of room for entertaining, outdoor games, a swing set, gardening, or simply enjoying the tranquility of your private surroundings.
A versatile 16' x 11' detached laundry room, game room, or private retreat adds valuable flexibility and could easily serve as a home office, creative studio, fitness space, or ultimate man cave.
Notable improvements include a new Trane HVAC system, interior and exterior units with air-duct cleaning, newer water heater, newer tile roof and decking (2021), updated electrical panel (2017), and beautifully maintained flooring.
Surrounded by beautiful homes and nestled among tree-lined brick streets, this residence places you within easy reach of Park Avenue's celebrated dining, boutique shopping, cultural attractions, and vibrant charm. Enjoy a morning jog, leisurely bike ride, or golf-cart cruise to Park Avenue—all from a home tucked away in one of Winter Park's most desirable settings.
A rare blend of character, comfort, and location—this is Winter Park living at its most inviting.
