1336 COLLEGE, WINTER PARK, FL 32789

Description

Steeped in history and masterfully reimagined, this 1926 Winter Park estate blends architectural provenance with modern refinement. Thoughtfully restored by E2 Homes, the residence honors its past while offering contemporary sophistication. Unlike many historic properties, it is free from preservation restrictions, allowing for seamless enhancements. On the shores of Lake Virginia along the desirable Winter Park Chain of Lakes, this 3,181-square-foot estate features four bedrooms, three full baths and two half baths, with three bedrooms in main house plus detached one-bedroom guest cottage. The second-floor primary suite is a private retreat with a Juliet balcony, dual closets and an elegantly appointed bath with an expansive dual-sink vanity, a separate water closet, and a washroom with a shower-tub combination. A Jack and Jill bath, adorned with Maharam wallpaper, serves the additional upstairs bedrooms. The Poliform TWELVE kitchen showcases European craftsmanship with Gaggenau and Sub-Zero appliances, sleek Italian cabinetry, and natural basalt countertops. The formal dining room, framed by arched windows and French doors, opens to a vine-covered courtyard, while the sunroom offers uninterrupted lake views. A fireplace in the living room, flanked by custom built-ins, adds warmth to the home’s contemporary aesthetic. Beyond its striking interiors, the estate is an architectural rarity, featuring original woodwork by Gene Leedy, a key figure in the Sarasota School of Architecture. The home is crowned with sought-after Ludowici-Celadon Imperial roof tiles. Poliform built-ins extend throughout, including a dedicated upstairs office/library. An integration of art and architecture, the property features site-specific installations by acclaimed artist Matt Olson. His No Separation project finds a compelling continuation here, with a sculptural installation of galvanized steel surrounding a crepe myrtle, accompanied by a matching bike rack. The entryway, designed by Olson’s firm OOIEE and inspired by Sol LeWitt, makes a striking first impression. Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, the estate’s exterior spaces are as refined as its interiors. A covered deck overlooks a heated saltwater pool and spa, while a custom cedar hot tub blends into the landscape. A wood-clad pergola shelters the outdoor kitchen, featuring a Röshults system with a professional-grade grill, sink and storage. The boathouse includes a partial bath, creating a waterfront sanctuary. A Sonos-integrated sound system extends from the main house to the patio, guesthouse and boathouse, ensuring a seamless sensory experience. The detached guesthouse is a private retreat with a full bedroom, bath, kitchenette and Poliform built-ins. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame manicured grounds and lake views, while a private covered porch provides a tranquil space for relaxation. Every detail has been meticulously curated, from designer lighting to motorized roller shades and a wood-burning fireplace anchoring the living room. A private wine library enhances the home’s sophisticated appeal. Meticulously maintained by E2 Concierge services, the residence undergoes routine wellness checks and meticulous upkeep. A distinctive home of this caliber is rarely available, a residence where history, architecture and art converge in harmony. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of Winter Park’s architecturally and artistically significant properties.
