Welcome to this beautifully preserved lakeside home, offering more than 3,100 square feet of versatile living space on over half an acre of direct lakefront property along the scenic shores of Lake Elbert in the heart of Winter Haven. The story goes that this home was originally built in 1926 as one of a pair of nearly identical homes for two brothers and their families, this charming residence has been lovingly maintained with enduring old-world craftsmanship — hardwood floors, stained glass windows, antique switches, and period hardware reflect its timeless character. Designed with multi-generational living in mind, the spacious layout provides room for everyone. A main-floor suite is ideal for an elder parent or guests, while upstairs you’ll find large bedrooms with generous closets and picturesque lake views. For modern professionals, there’s a cozy home office complete with a fireplace — perfect for working from home in comfort and style. Gather family and friends in the large formal dining room with direct access to the expansive patio and beautiful in-ground pool. The sun-filled breakfast nook is an inviting spot for morning coffee, crafts, or quiet reading, and the bright kitchen overlooks the pool area, making everyday living a delight. Step outside to relax on the screened porch or spacious front veranda and watch the sunset over Lake Elbert. The fenced backyard, private pool, and serene lake views provide a peaceful retreat and a stunning backdrop for entertaining or unwinding at the end of the day. Nature lovers will appreciate visits from herons, ducks, turtles, and other local wildlife, with future plans for a walking trail around Lake Elbert adding even more outdoor enjoyment just steps from your door. This is more than just a house — it’s a piece of Winter Haven’s history, a haven of vintage charm, modern comfort, and room to grow. Ideally located moments from downtown, shopping, dining, entertainment, and medical facilities, this home truly offers a lifestyle you and your family can cherish for generations to come. Come experience the warmth, character, and lakeside beauty of this special Lake Elbert home — and imagine your family’s next chapter here.
