The story
- Basement
Designed by renowned architect James Gamble Rogers II, 617 N Interlachen Ave presents a rare opportunity to own and thoughtfully reimagine a distinctive Spanish Revival estate in the heart of Winter Park. Built in 1929, renovated in 1981, and featuring extensive roof updates completed in 2020 and 2021, this character-filled property reflects the timeless architectural appeal that makes Winter Park so special. Situated on approximately half an acre, the estate includes a main residence plus three accessory buildings encompassing approximately 6,354 square feet combined, providing an exceptional amount of space and flexibility to create a property tailored to your lifestyle and vision. From the moment you arrive, the classic Spanish Revival influence and established setting offer a sense of history and individuality rarely found in newer construction. The multiple buildings create exciting possibilities for guest accommodations, private home offices, studios, hobby spaces, entertaining areas, or other uses permitted by applicable zoning and regulations. The residence offers an opportunity to preserve its distinctive architectural character while updating and personalizing the interiors and amenities for today's lifestyle. For buyers who appreciate homes with a story, architectural distinction, and the potential to make a property uniquely their own, this estate stands apart from the typical Winter Park offering. Even more compelling is the location. The property is within walking distance of Winter Park's famous Park Avenue, renowned for its restaurants, boutiques, cafes, galleries, cultural attractions, and unmistakable charm. Enjoy the rare opportunity to leave the car at home and stroll to one of Central Florida's most celebrated dining, shopping, and entertainment destinations. Rollins College is also nearby, while convenient access to downtown Orlando combines the charm and sophistication of Winter Park with easy connectivity to the greater Orlando area. The property is not individually listed on the Winter Park Register of Historic Places and is not located within a locally designated historic district, an important consideration for buyers exploring future renovation and personalization plans. Buyers should independently verify applicable zoning, permitting, building, and preservation requirements for any intended improvements or uses. With its James Gamble Rogers II design, 1929 origins, Spanish Revival character, approximately half-acre setting, substantial combined square footage, three accessory buildings, and an outstanding location within walking distance of famous Park Avenue, 617 N Interlachen Ave is far more than a conventional home purchase. It is an opportunity to take a distinctive piece of Winter Park architecture and shape its next chapter. Bring your vision and discover the possibilities where history, architecture, location, and potential come together in a truly one-of-a-kind Winter Park estate.
