About this home

Virtually Staged. Rarely does a home this unique come to market! Situated on a spacious .30-acre lot directly across the street from beautiful Lake Winterset, this distinctive 3-bedroom, 2-bath mid-century modern pool home offers incredible character, great bones, and a fantastic opportunity for a buyer looking to add their own personal touches. Virtually staged. With no mandatory HOA or CDD, this property offers flexibility and an exceptional location. An optional neighborhood HOA of just $100 per year provides access to the community boat ramp, connecting you to the renowned Winter Haven Chain of 22 Lakes, one of Central Florida’s premier destinations for boating, fishing, and watersports. Unlike nearly any other Florida home, this property features an impressive 300+ square foot basement—a rare find offering endless possibilities as a wine cellar, hobby room, workshop, fitness area, or additional storage. The home's distinctive architectural design is complemented by spectacular views of Lake Winterset from the living and dining rooms, where sliding glass doors open to a charming wraparound front porch—the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee while taking in the peaceful lake scenery. Upstairs, a spacious bonus room provides incredible flexibility and could be used as a potential fourth bedroom, media room, home office, or second living area. The space also includes a private balcony overlooking the front of the property and the lake. The kitchen offers plenty of potential and features quartz countertops, a center island, pantry, recessed lighting, tile backsplash, reverse osmosis system, garbage disposal, a window overlooking the screened pool, and a premium 2022 Samsung Bespoke appliance suite. The home has great bones and has received numerous important updates, while still offering an opportunity for the next owner to make cosmetic updates and truly make it their own. The thoughtful split-bedroom layout places all three spacious bedrooms down a private hallway away from the main living spaces. Wood-look tile flooring flows throughout the main living areas, while luxury vinyl plank flooring extends through the bedrooms, bathrooms, and upstairs bonus room. The spacious primary suite features dual vanities and a beautifully remodeled walk-in shower. Additional conveniences include an indoor laundry closet with the washer and dryer included, as well as a two-car garage. Step outside to your oversized screened, chlorinated pool complete with a diving board and removable safety fence, creating the perfect backyard retreat for entertaining family and friends year-round. Major improvements provide added peace of mind, including a new roof in 2025, new pool pump and well pump in 2025, new A/C ductwork and attic insulation in 2025, windows replaced in 2019, A/C replaced in 2019, water heater replaced in 2019, and new appliances installed in 2022. Ideally located just a short drive from Disney, Universal, LEGOLAND, and other Central Florida attractions, this one-of-a-kind home combines timeless mid-century modern architecture, a rare basement, beautiful lake views, an oversized pool, important major updates, access to the Winter Haven Chain of Lakes, and an opportunity to create a home that reflects your own style. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own one of the area's most distinctive homes overlooking beautiful Lake Winterset!
