Property Description

Graceful and timeless, this classic Southern-inspired residence by esteemed builder Charles Clayton sits on a generous lot in Winter Park’s coveted Park Grove neighborhood and makes a striking first impression with beautifully composed architecture, charming dormer windows, a sweeping front porch with historic reclaimed Detroit brick flooring, and curated landscaping. Inside, the foyer unfolds with rich wood floors, raised-panel wainscoting, layered crown molding and detailed millwork which sets the tone for depth and quiet sophistication throughout the home. Just off the entry, a beautifully appointed office with finely crafted built-in shelving thoughtfully designed for both display and function. The same refined trim details carry through, while generous windows introduce soft natural light—an ideal setting for work or a quiet reading. Across, the dining room is both elegant and inviting—bathed in natural light from large windows and enhanced by more detailed millwork that adds character and creates a polished backdrop for dining and entertaining. Continue through wide detailed trim opening to an expansive great room anchored by a classic fireplace with custom built-ins, while a wall of French doors invites in natural light and extends the living space seamlessly to the covered verandah with more reclaimed Detroit brick flooring and the pool, creating perfect space to gather, lounge or entertain. Open to the Great room, the beautifully designed kitchen stands out with a coffered ceiling, marble countertops, and crisp white cabinetry, featuring illuminated upper cabinets and open shelving for thoughtful displays. A central island is complimented by an integrated breakfast table—perfect for casual dining or morning coffee. Professional-grade appliances, including a Wolf gas range and Sub-Zero refrigerator, are paired with a thoughtfully tucked-away walk-in pantry offering abundant storage and effortless organization—bringing both refined style and everyday function to the kitchen.
