Résidence Unifamiliale à Oakland

Virtually Staged. Some homes are defined by finishes. Others are defined by a setting that simply cannot be recreated.

Tucked along the shoreline of Lake Apopka in historic Oakland, this 3,887 square-foot custom residence offers something increasingly difficult to find in Central Florida: substantial living space, privacy, mature surroundings and expansive lake views, all just minutes from Winter Garden.

The experience begins on the approach. Crest the hill toward Millholland Street and Lake Apopka comes into view before the home settles into its private setting below. Step through the front door and your attention returns immediately to the water. A dramatic two-story living space, sweeping wood staircase and expansive windows fill the home with natural light and lake views from nearly every room.

The spacious floor plan features three bedrooms, three full baths, a dedicated office and a spacious upstairs loft/bonus room. The first-floor primary suite offers privacy, custom closets and stunning lake views. A second bedroom and full bath are also downstairs, offering flexibility for guests or multigenerational living.

At the center of the home, the kitchen opens to the surrounding living spaces with a panoramic view of the lake. Portions of the interior retain its original character, presenting an opportunity to update the kitchen and baths to your own style while preserving the architecture and generous proportions of the home.

The enclosed main-floor patio creates a comfortable living space extension overlooking the water. Both the upstairs bedroom and the loft with wet bar lead to a large open-air deck with elevated views across Lake Apopka.

Approximately 52 feet of natural shoreline provides privacy and a front-row seat to the area’s native wildlife- ospreys, bald eagles, herons and other birdlife. Intentionally maintained as a natural shoreline rather than a recreational waterfront, creating a peaceful buffer between the home and the lake.

The oversized three-car garage is equally impressive. Designed as a serious workshop, it features built-in cabinetry and pegboard, numerous electrical outlets, a pneumatic system with quick-connect ceiling hose reels, and additional storage and a garage-attic winch. A large private driveway provides plenty of parking and easy turnaround.

The property has also benefited from numerous improvements, including an architectural-shingle roof, replacement double-pane windows, French doors and sliding glass doors, an enlarged upper deck, newer water heater, cooktop, microwave and carpet, HVAC servicing, duct cleaning, electrical evaluation and corrective work, septic servicing, irrigation improvements, restored drainage swale and additional landscaping. The fireplace and chimney have also been serviced, along with extensive pest-exclusion work.

Beyond the property, Oakland offers the oak-lined streets and small-town character that make this corner of Central Florida so distinctive. The West Orange Trail, Oakland Town Center, historic Downtown Winter Garden and Plant Street are all nearby, along with convenient access to shopping, dining and major roadways.

Kitchens and bathrooms can be transformed. A private Lake Apopka setting, substantial custom architecture, two levels of outdoor living and views like these are much harder to replicate.
