About This Property

Perfectly positioned on the 8th tee and 9th hole of the Winter Park Pines Golf Course, this home sits on an oversized quarter-acre lot and offers a rare opportunity to create your dream home while enjoying breathtaking golf course views. **The current floor plan features three bedrooms, as the original fourth bedroom has been converted into an expansive walk-in closet for the primary suite, and the flexible layout also offers the potential for a fifth bedroom.**
While the interior offers an exciting opportunity to update, the sellers have already completed nearly $190,000 in major infrastructure and system improvements. One of the home's most valuable features is the fully paid-off solar panel system, which generates excess electricity that is returned to the Winter Park power grid, resulting in an average monthly electric bill of approximately $50.
Additional capital improvements include a newer roof (2021), a new high-efficiency, variable-speed Lennox HVAC system (2025), a new energy-efficient, heat-pump water heater (2025), complete home repipe (2020), restoration of the cast-iron sewer system (2022) and plumbing stacks, upgraded attic insulation for enhanced energy efficiency (2023), a newer pool heater and pump (2024), added French drains (2025), new gutters with leaf guards, a deep irrigation well, an expanded circular paver driveway for ample parking space, and much more.
Inside, the flexible floor plan offers endless possibilities. Beyond the spacious, front-facing living/dining room, the kitchen opens to a comfortable family room with a wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen window and pocket sliding glass doors frame beautiful views of the expansive covered lanai, screened pool, and rolling fairways beyond.
The current 3-bedroom/2-bath layout on the left side can easily be reconfigured to restore the original 4th bedroom, which now serves as an oversized walk-in closet for the primary suite. The corner bedroom functions as both a guest room and home office, featuring a custom Murphy bed concealed behind a built-in bookcase, providing exceptional flexibility.
On the opposite side of the home, an enormous bonus room with a full bath, offers direct pool access, and sweeping golf course views. Whether envisioned as a private guest suite or 5th bedroom, recreation room, home office, fitness studio, media room, or multigenerational living space, the bonus room has endless possibilities.
Located just a few doors from the Cady Way Trail on one of the neighborhood's most picturesque oak-canopied streets, the setting is truly exceptional. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a home set directly on one of Winter Park's premier golf courses, where major mechanical system upgrades and costly infrastructure improvements have already been completed, creating the perfect opportunity to transform the interior into your own custom vision. Move in today, enjoy the exceptional location, and renovate at your own pace!
Be sure to request a complete list of improvements, along with the floor plan, to fully appreciate the incredible potential this home presents.
