Built in 1930 and known as “Casa Felice” or House of Happiness, this is reportedly the 2nd home in the Winter Park area designed by James Gamble Rogers II… Boasting classic materials from the era and brimming with meticulous attention to every detail, the character, style and elegance of old-world Spain is highlighted throughout. Exceptional appointments include heart pine flooring, impressive solid stucco walls, gorgeous, beamed ceilings and pecky cypress doors.

Additionally, there is a separate guesthouse, that could be one or two additional bedrooms or perfect for hosting friends and family with a multitude of flexible uses... Extremely well-constructed on over an acre of land, an outdoor private oasis features a saltwater pool, extensive flagstone terrace along with a sprawling back yard leading down to the lake with boathouse & waterfront entertaining. An extremely rare opportunity not only to own a part of Winter Park history, but to thoroughly enjoy the character & charm of one of Winter Park’s landmark special homes with the added bonus for those seeking to enjoy the quintessential Central Florida chain of lakes lifestyle…
