Welcome to a timeless and peaceful treasure nestled on the serene shores of Silver Lake in Central Florida. This stately Colonial-style residence sits on 2 lush acres and offers a rare blend of architectural grace, rich history, and modern comfort, with unobstructed lake views, an in-ground pool, and a private boat dock for your waterfront lifestyle. Step inside the main home, boasting over 3,000 square feet of living space, and be transported to another era. While the exterior reflects classic Georgian Colonial symmetry, the interior exudes Victorian elegance, with intricate details, original hardwood floors, and two stunning fireplaces anchoring the living spaces. The home offers 3 spacious bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, each room echoing stories of the past and possibilities for the future. Adding to its allure is a detached two-story guesthouse featuring 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms—ideal for extended family, guests, or rental potential. Outdoors, the magic continues - Take a swim in the lake-facing pool, surrounded by mature landscaping. Enjoy sunsets on your private dock or pick from your own fruit trees, including mango, avocado, papaya, lemon, passionfruit, banana, neem and moringa. Conveniently located just a short drive from Disney theme parks, Orlando International Airport, and a short road trip to both the Atlantic and Gulf Coast beaches, this home is truly at the heart of everything—yet feels worlds away. According to local folklore, this guesthouse once hosted the iconic actress Elizabeth Taylor, during a visit to her daughter and the son of the original owners. They don't make 'em like this anymore. In a world of "cookie-cutter" homes, don’t miss the opportunity to own this one-of-a-kind Central Florida gem steeped in character. Will you be the next owner of this exceptional lakeside estate?
