Under Construction. Exceptional waterfront living meets European-inspired design in this new Vimaro Homes residence on Lake Sylvan. Positioned on an oversized Winter Park lot with 130 feet of water frontage, the home pairs timeless architecture, richly detailed interiors, and expansive outdoor living. Led by a husband-and-wife team originally from Europe, Vimaro Homes brings together her expertise in interior design and his in construction. Their hands-on approach brings a personal commitment to every selection and detail, prioritizing lasting quality, thoughtful design, and craftsmanship over the cost-driven formulas common in investment-built spec homes. A striking façade and tile roof establish an elegant arrival, complemented by a dual-entry driveway featuring a diamond-patterned composition of turf and concrete. An underground three-car garage preserves the architectural approach, while an elevator connects all three levels. Inside, a marble mosaic entry introduces intricate trim work and classic reeded crown molding, establishing the home’s enduring character. The spacious living room features a marble-wrapped fireplace, custom built-ins with LED up-lighting, and expansive sliding doors framing views of the pool and lake. The kitchen pairs marble countertops and custom inset cabinetry with Perrin & Rowe fixtures and Thermador appliances, including a paneled refrigerator. A substantial scullery with a prep kitchen and pantry supports entertaining, while the nearby dining room overlooks the water. The downstairs primary suite offers a private retreat with its own fireplace and an expansive, custom-fitted walk-in closet with a center island. The primary bath features Casablanca marble tile, dual vanities, Perrin & Rowe fixtures, and a spacious walk-in shower. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms each offer an ensuite bath and walk-in closet, alongside a bonus room, laundry room, and terrace. Throughout the home, natural stone, finely crafted cabinetry, and classic architectural details reflect the team’s European influences. Outdoors, a generous lanai with retractable screens and a full summer kitchen extends the living spaces toward Lake Sylvan. A three-tiered deck brings together a pool, spa, and sweeping water views, while expansive green space and a dock complete the waterfront setting. Set on a brick street moments from Park Avenue’s restaurants, boutiques, and cafés, this residence combines Winter Park’s distinctive character with an exceptional lakefront setting. Shaped by the personal vision and craftsmanship of Vimaro Homes, it offers a refined expression of waterfront living.
