104 CORTLAND AVENUE, Winter Park, FL, 32789

Commanding an elevated position with tranquil views of Lake Mizell, this quintessential 1926 estate artfully fuses period elegance with refined, modern enhancements. Located moments from the coveted boutiques and restaurants of Park Avenue, the residence welcomes with a pavered circular drive and a private, gated side entry leading to a detached two-car garage. A brick-clad front porch and mature landscaping frame the formal entry, setting a tone of architectural distinction. Inside, a gallery-style foyer showcases designer wallpaper and salvaged pew rail detailing from a New York City church. The formal living room offers a stately gas fireplace, bespoke built-ins, and a large fixed window framing the lake—perfectly suited for a quiet reading nook. The adjacent sunroom, encased in fixed glass, captures the surrounding canopy and lake vistas in all seasons. A generous dining room with custom dry bar, underlit floating shelving, and beverage refrigeration provides an ideal setting for elegant entertaining. The gourmet kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with paneled appliances including refrigerator and freezer columns, refrigerator drawers, and a microwave drawer. Additional features include natural gas cooking, double ovens, and a sun-drenched breakfast room opening to the rear terrace and lap pool. A Dutch door entry offers functional access for daily living, while the basement below presents an opportunity for climate-controlled wine storage. The upstairs primary suite exudes comfort and sophistication with its own gas fireplace, walk-in closet illuminated by a lake-facing window, a private covered balcony, and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, steam shower, and private water closet. Two additional guest rooms with a Jack and Jill bath complete the upper level. Extensive renovations include a newer roof, Andersen windows and doors, two HVAC systems, full re-piping and rewiring, fresh paint, lighting, a newly installed pool heater, and hardie board siding—all executed within the last five years. The walk-up attic and pristine basement offer rare additional storage. Refinished hardwood floors throughout provide a consistent, elegant backdrop. This residence is a compelling blend of character, craftsmanship, and contemporary living.
