Welcome to The Birdhouse, one of Downtown Winter Garden's most iconic residences. Situated just blocks from Plant Street, the West Orange Trail, and the shores of Lake Apopka, this remarkable property offers a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully restored home that seamlessly blends timeless architecture with modern luxury. Set on an expansive and highly coveted 0.51-acre lot, The Birdhouse delivers an unrivaled combination of character, sophistication, and downtown living. Originally built in 1920, this meticulously restored home preserves its historic charm through exposed brick walls, wood-beamed ceilings, vintage glass doorknobs, original lighting fixtures, multiple fireplaces, beautifully maintained hardwood floors and more. Natural light pours through original diamond-pane windows into the spacious family room, while the formal living and dining rooms showcase timeless character and thoughtful custom details. The chef's kitchen is a true focal point with a distinctive mix of old-world charm and modern design that combine luxury and function. Features include Cambria Portrush quartz countertops, custom floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, premium ZLINE appliances with an 8 burner gas stove range below exposed brick walls, a statement tile backsplash and custom range hood. Floating wood shelves, an expansive breakfast bar and cozy breakfast nook with built-in seating complete its design. A spacious mudroom and custom laundry room offer extensive cabinetry and counterspace for both storage and everyday convenience and a dedicated home office includes a custom built in desk. Set apart from the living areas and secondary bedrooms, the newly designed primary suite serves as a private sanctuary. Accessed through its own hallway, this spacious retreat features vaulted wood-paneled ceilings, an enormous walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, two private water closets, a large glass-enclosed shower and elevated finishes throughout. Four additional generously sized bedrooms provide exceptional flexibility, including a second primary suite with dual closets and an ensuite bath, an additional ensuite bedroom overlooking the pool, and two bedrooms with a full guest bath positioned in between. The enormous fully fenced backyard is designed for year round enjoyment with a gas-heated saltwater sport pool, outdoor kitchen, expansive brick paved deck, detached covered lanai, and low-maintenance turf. Towering above it all is one of the property's most extraordinary features: a majestic 390-year-old oak tree, recognized as the oldest recorded oak tree in Orange County, providing unparalleled beauty and shade. Equally noteworthy, the home's original exterior waterspout remains in place and fully operational, offering a unique connection to the property's storied past. A double carport includes both a Tesla and golf cart charging station as well as a large storage closet equipped with power and a shop desk. Recent home improvements include a new roof (May 2026), updated PVC plumbing and drain field, new air handler, new tankless hot water heater, new water filtration system and new structural support trusses installed beneath the home to enhance long-term stability and strengthen the property's foundation for generations to come. A rare blend of historic significance, modern luxury, and premier location, The Birdhouse represents one of Downtown Winter Garden's most exceptional residential offerings.
