The “Villa Rosa” one of Orlando’s most beautiful estates overlooking Lake Adair was built when the City Beautiful was just dawning. This Mediterranean Revival style features symmetrical primary facades with stuccoed walls, barrel tile roof, carved doors, wrought iron balconies and window grilles over windows. The current owners fell in love with the property and felt inspired to bring it into the 21st century with improvements and renovations that only enhance the original design. Ceilings were raised, structural issues resolved, plumbing and electrical concerns addressed. Virtually every surface was touched with a discerning eye to detail and quality. The rooms downstairs include the foyer, a large salon, two private offices, dining room, breakfast room and main kitchen. Off the back hall, find the pantry room with built-in planning desk, a 120-bottle sub-zero wine refrigerator & custom cabinetry, pantry powder room, main powder room, bar, library, and family room. The upstairs space was completely redesigned with the addition of a full bath off an original guest room, the enclosure of a Jack in Jill bath into a private suite off the front bedroom and a complete renovation of the master bedroom suite including closet and laundry room. The basement which runs the entire length of the home, was updated with a renovated half bath, shelving for storage, and a vintage wash sink. The basement flows to the oversized garage on the South side of the property. Exterior landscape additions include a redesign of the driveway for better slope and water drainage, an extensive use of limestone with night lighting, new retaining walls; new landscape design including an upper garden area, three fountains, custom designed wrought iron automatic gates leading to the driveway off Overbrook and the single-car park on Country Club Drive, plus an access gate for guests. The pool was resurfaced with decorative tile, new color lighting added, a pool heater and a self-cleaning system. A Mediterranean tile roof tops the Summer kitchen with Artisan gas grill with rotisserie, two pull-out refrigerator drawers, granite countertops, a sink and custom cabinetry. Unbeatable location in beautiful College Park convenient to interesting shops & a variety of local restaurants. Downtown Orlando is just minutes away as well as two major hospital systems. Just across Colonial Drive find Creative Village including UCF and Valencia College Campuses, Professional Basketball and Soccer stadiums within a mile. Coming Soon to the area the Packing district will include a new YMCA, City tennis courts, walking trails, and the 4 Roots Food Hall.
