Property Description
Under contract-accepting backup offers. Set along the brick-lined streets of Charmont, one of Winter Park’s most coveted and established neighborhoods, 1661 Laurel Road presents a rare opportunity to own a home in an exceptional location just three houses from Lake Virginia. From the front yard, enjoy beautiful lake views and the timeless character of a neighborhood defined by mature trees, gracious homes, and a true sense of place. The current owners have cherished this property since 1972, and after more than five decades, the home is ready for its next chapter. Situated on an impressive 0.43-acre corner lot (18,802 square feet), the property offers flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find in Winter Park. The existing home can be thoughtfully remodeled and the floor plan reimagined while preserving the architectural charm and character that make the property special. Or, for those looking to create something entirely their own, the generous lot offers the potential to build a new home in one of Winter Park’s most desirable settings. Inside, a welcoming foyer introduces a floor plan filled with opportunity. To the right, the grand living room features abundant windows and natural light, beautiful proportions, and a wood-burning fireplace, with the space extending into a bright sunroom overlooking the grounds. A hallway off the living room leads to two bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom. To the left of the foyer, a third bedroom offers a dedicated bathroom and walk-in closet. Straight ahead, the dining room features charming corner cabinetry and leads into the existing kitchen. Beyond the dining room, an additional sunroom and sitting area presents one of the home's many opportunities for transformation. Envision opening this space to create a more expansive kitchen with room for a built-in breakfast banquette, coffee bar, and functional drop zone—a gathering space designed around the way today's families live while retaining the home's original charm. A breezeway connects the main house to the two-car garage, while the space above offers a separate one-bedroom, one-bath apartment. Ideal for visiting guests, a private playroom or teen retreat, an office, or potential rental income, this additional living space adds another layer of flexibility to the property. Additional features include an irrigation well and 2018 HVAC system. Beyond the property itself, the location is what makes 1661 Laurel Road truly special. Enjoy Park Avenue, where Winter Park's beloved restaurants, boutiques, galleries, cafés, and cultural institutions create one of Central Florida's most distinctive lifestyles. Rollins College, Hannibal Square, Central Park, Mead Botanical Garden, and the Winter Park Chain of Lakes are all close by, while the neighborhood's tree-canopied streets offer a peaceful retreat just minutes from the energy of downtown. Zoned for Audubon Park K-8 and Winter Park High School, this is an opportunity to put down roots in one of Winter Park's most sought-after locations. Whether you envision restoring and reimagining the existing home or creating a new residence from the ground up, the possibilities at 1661 Laurel Road are truly exceptional. Some properties are defined by their finishes; others are defined by their location, land, history, and potential. This one offers all four.
