Villa Serenata, a lakefront legacy on Lake Maitland. Behind private iron gates along the storied shores of Lake Maitland, Villa Serenata presents a rare opportunity to own a distinguished Mediterranean estate on the renowned Winter Park Chain of Lakes. On approximately two acres of meticulously curated grounds, this extraordinary residence feels less like a home and more like a private resort, crafted for those who appreciate timeless architecture, thoughtful design and elevated lakefront living. A sweeping circular driveway welcomes you beneath a canopy of soaring royal palms and majestic live oaks, immediately setting the tone for what lies beyond. As the automated gate opens, the property reveals itself as a serene sanctuary where elegance and privacy coexist in harmony. The 6,634-square-foot main residence showcases interiors by acclaimed designer Ted Maines, unfolding across two levels of refined sophistication. The Mizner-inspired living room commands attention with dramatic 24-foot wood-beamed ceilings and twin walls of arched French doors, one framing sweeping views of Lake Maitland’s shimmering waters, the other opening to a sun-dappled courtyard where mornings naturally begin with coffee and quiet reflection. The upper level is devoted entirely to the primary suite, creating a private retreat complete with a heatless gas fireplace, spa-caliber bath with soaking tub and steam shower, a bespoke dressing room with custom built-ins, and a rooftop terrace with glass railings offering remarkable lake views. Three additional bedroom suites, each with an en-suite bath and generous walk-in closet, provide comfort and privacy for family and guests alike. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen is equipped with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, custom cabinetry, and an expansive prep island designed to transition seamlessly from intimate family meals to catered gatherings of 50. The formal dining room features a dramatic curved wall of windows, turning every meal into a lakefront experience, while the richly paneled library and office offer a quiet space for focused work or relaxed reading. Complementing the main residence is a thoughtfully designed guest compound totaling 1,540 square feet. A private media pavilion delivers a state-of-the-art theater and listening room for film enthusiasts and audiophiles, while the one-bedroom guest apartment above provides a fully appointed living space with kitchen, living area and private entry, ideal for extended family, visiting guests or live-in staff. Outdoor living is equally exceptional. Resort-style travertine surrounds the pool amid lush tropical landscaping, creating a tranquil setting for sun-filled afternoons. A covered lanai with full summer kitchen flows effortlessly from the family room, while an expansive open-air terrace extends from the great room, an inviting backdrop for sunset cocktails overlooking the lake. Villa Serenata is more than a residence, it is a legacy estate, offering privacy, architectural distinction, and a lifestyle centered on one of Winter Park’s treasured waterfront settings.
