3812 Lake Sarah Drive, Orlando, FL 32804

Description

This timeless Mid-Century Modern masterpiece was designed by renowned Miami architect Milton C Harry and is a stunning example of why the modern aesthetic is still so popular today. Welcome to this uniquely designed lakefront residence, nestled in the heart of Orlando's trendy neighborhood called College Park, on skiable Lake Sarah, connecting to large Lake Fairview. This five bedroom property reflects the true essence of modern lifestyle while preserving an ageless identity via its interior/exterior distinguished "Ocala Block" construction. In a real estate world where all rooms are boringly symmetrical, you will be drawn to the uniqueness of this magnificent building as it stands like no other with soaring 24' ceilings and oversized natural light entry via sliders or accent windows throughout both floors. You may recognize the kitchen as the "Parade of Homes" winner 2010: both elegant in a minimalist and efficient design, allowed by a great use of space, quality cabinetry and pure quartz counters. German appliances adorn this Chef's heaven: Liebherr refrigerator and freezer, Miele built-in coffee maker, and Bosch dishwasher; and is complete with full induction cooktop, built-in convection oven and microwave, and wine fridge to preserve the millesimes of your choice. The exterior nature access and enjoyment is gently welcomed in via delightful and peaceful enclosed courtyards, allowing all three downstairs bedrooms and loft their own private alcove, including two under a protecting centennial oak tree shade and soft breeze. The master suite represents the perfect setting to witness all that nature and lake life can display, from otters playing along the property shore, to ospreys, pelicans and ducks crossing the lake, and the quietness we all seek at sunrise, especially when the subtle golden sunlight showers the trees across the lake as if it were a painting. Its ample space matches the very well appointed bathroom with under-lit sizable floating double vanity, both shower and free-standing contemporary tub, and finally a dressing room worthy of a movie set with a graceful chandelier basking in natural light. The large and open living room can accommodate any furnishings, decoration and precious artwork you may display within these canvas-like iconic walls. The long and wide gallery, connecting the living and dining rooms, is sized to welcome fashion shows, Art exhibits, fundraising events or close family reunions where fabulous memories are created, to name a few. Upstairs, two bedrooms are distributed to provide office or guest privacy while offering splendid lake and oak trees views. The contemporary salt water lap pool compliments the property nicely, and welcomes avid swimmers as well as newbies or shy bathers in its shallow area alongside the heat-ready hot tub. Facing full West on Lake Sarah, the breathtaking daily sunsets are surely an attraction in itself while entertaining or simply relaxing with your loved ones. Owning this move-in-ready and stylish lakefront property is a refined yet powerful statement, and displays a unique taste, while safe keeping a timepiece Franck Lloyd Wright aficionados would appreciate.
