RARE opportunity to own a Maitland Shores home offering access to Lake Minnehaha and the Winter Park Chain of Lakes. Residents enjoy exclusive use of the HOA lakefront park with a fishing dock and paved boat ramp that creates quick access to the Nina Canal and Lake Maitland — the largest lake in the Winter Park Chain. The unique location of this home offers an oversized .34-acre homesite that is thoughtfully landscaped with rare tropical plants, rose gardens, and a peaceful front courtyard complete with a bubbling fountain. Ample driveway and garage space accommodate boat or vehicle storage, ideal for enjoying skiable Lake Minnehaha. Inside, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home offers 2,249 square feet of living space in a split floorplan. A unique highlight of the floorplan is the dual primary suites, each with private access to the screened pool, making the home ideal for multi-generational living. Equally beautiful pool views are also visible from the kitchen, breakfast nook, and spacious family room. If you are staying inside, the family room features a large fireplace that creates a cozy focal point. Just off the family room is the remodeled kitchen that is both bright and functional with abundant cabinetry, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar seating, a built-in desk, and a breakfast nook with patio access. Beauty abounds from the patio with a resort-style screened pool, complete with decorative palms surrounding the pool. Steps from the pool begin the meandering gardens with colorful blooms. To aid the avid gardener is a covered and secure garden shed. With such an expansive homesite - more than 15,000 square feet - possibilities for adding a full workshop or even an Accessory Dwelling Unit/ADU could be explored. Adjacent to this estate is Minnehaha Park, a 7.5-acre City of Maitland park offering multiple tennis courts, pickleball courts, walking trails, picnic pavilions, and playgrounds. While the setting of this property is quiet and serene, the home is minutes from Winter Park shopping and dining; downtown Maitland and Maitland City Centre; I-4 access; and zoned Winter Park High School. Additional home updates include a full roof replacement and AC replacement in 2021, making move-in and insurance smooth and easy. Don't miss this chance to get Winter Park Chain of Lakes access for yourself at this exceptional price!
