Property Description
The story goes that this home was originally built in 1926 as one of a pair of nearly identical homes for two brothers and their families, this charming residence has been lovingly maintained with enduring old-world craftsmanship — hardwood floors, stained glass windows, antique switches, and period hardware reflect its timeless character.
Designed with multi-generational living in mind, the spacious layout provides room for everyone. A main-floor suite is ideal for an elder parent or guests, while upstairs you'll find large bedrooms with generous closets and picturesque lake views. For modern professionals, there's a cozy home office complete with a fireplace — perfect for working from home in comfort and style.
Gather family and friends in the large formal dining room with direct access to the expansive patio and beautiful in-ground pool. The sun-filled breakfast nook is an inviting spot for morning coffee, crafts, or quiet reading, and the bright kitchen overlooks the pool area, making everyday living a delight.
Step outside to relax on the screened porch or spacious front veranda and watch the sunset over Lake Elbert. The fenced backyard, private pool, and serene lake views provide a peaceful retreat and a stunning backdrop for entertaining or unwinding at the end of the day.
Nature lovers will appreciate visits from herons, ducks, turtles, and other local wildlife, with future plans for a walking trail around Lake Elbert adding even more outdoor enjoyment just steps from your door.
This is more than just a house — it's a piece of Winter Haven's history, a haven of vintage charm, modern comfort, and room to grow. Ideally located moments from downtown, shopping, dining, entertainment, and medical facilities, this home truly offers a lifestyle you and your family can cherish for generations to come.
Come experience the warmth, character, and lakeside beauty of this special Lake Elbert home — and imagine your family's next chapter here.
