Here is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live cantilevered over Lake Rowena. Designed to benefit from a lake view from every room in mind, this 1974 mid-century modern Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired 4,200 square-foot residence is like none other in Central Florida. Its designer and builder, Gerry Gay, was a prominent designer, engineer, and contractor in the 1970s. Jutting over the water, constructed with cement and steel I-beams, it wouldn't be possible to duplicate this architectural marvel with current building setback regulations. Drive down the lush and private 200-foot live oak canopied driveway to a true architectural gem. Approaching the front door, you see and hear the babbling brook flowing under the house to Lake Rowena. Once inside the front door, you immediately see the lake through floor-to-ceiling, high-impact tinted windows. The updated kitchen is complete with black granite countertops, an island with seating, and professional-grade appliances. You can watch the sunrise over the water from the kitchen window. Wake to an enchanted morning in the master bedroom as daylight shines through its floor-to-ceiling windows – it's like being on a cruise ship. The main-level master suite has dual closets, a privacy-enclosed toilet, a private tub and shower area, and a zen-like private patio with a lake view. The lower level offers a spacious family room and two split guest rooms, each with an en-suite bathroom. Walk out onto the massive 17-foot by 71-foot (ipe wood) deck that extends beyond the entire lake side of the home. Look straight to the lake through the glass railing. You can watch the turtles come up to the deck in the evening to say hello, or enjoy alfresco refreshments and meals on the main level's 15-foot x 45-foot (ipe wood) deck accessed from the main living area. Additional features include a pull-down staircase to access the 400 square foot 6-foot high attic space for storage. The Fresh Market at Mills Park, the Orlando Museum of Art, the Mennello Museum of Art, AdventHealth Orlando, "Mills 50" restaurants, and the Orlando Shakespeare Theater are just a few minutes away. Included features are: Window shades; A Sonos® two-zone sound system; Security cameras inside and out; Leaf-filtered gutters; Landscape lighting; Three hot-water tanks; Four central air conditioning units; An oversized two-car garage with extra storage space. Need more space? There is room for a guesthouse, a swimming pool, additional garages, and a dock if you want them.
