Welcome to Novella Farm, a beautifully renovated, classic home at the end of a private, tree-lined road with 2.95-acres of property. Just minutes from downtown Winter Park and major roadways, this home offers the opportunity to live the idyllic farm life with city conveniences just a few miles away. This homestead was fully restored in 2016 including new systems such as AC, roof, electric, and plumbing, but it retains the character, charm, and pride of workmanship from the time it was built with solid clapboard block construction and dimensional lumber. The grounds contain the main house with 4 bedrooms/3.5 bathrooms and 4170sf; a detached unfinished 1/1 guest cottage with kitchen & living room at 583sf; and multiple outer buildings for animals and equipment. The floorplan is spacious and perfect for entertaining with welcoming entry foyer; separate formal living room with hand-constructed bow window; dining room with built-ins and wainscotting; bonus room with beamed vaulted ceiling, exposed brick, wood-burning fireplace, and Pecky Cypress siding. The kitchen/family room wing was expanded during the renovation, and the kitchen rebuilt with soapstone countertops, an imported French Lacanche gas range, white subway tile backsplash, and large designer island with custom lighting that opens to generous family room with wall of bookshelves and fireplace. The downstairs owner’s suite has elegant bathroom with oversized shower with rain head & multiple sprayers, double vanity with marble counters + separate makeup vanity. The upstairs has the original master suite with abundant closet space and attached bathroom, in addition to 2 more large bedrooms with shared bath that has Cambria quartz counters and white subway tile, plus multiple niches that make for great flex space. Features include 9’ ceilings, solid oak floors throughout, crown molding, lots of custom millwork, French doors, great storage, designer fixtures & lighting, and secured electric entrance gate. Interior mudroom/laundry room with slate floors, 3 car garage, saltwater pool (2016) with travertine deck, and large outdoor covered porch. This home was lovingly renovated to create a timeless vintage feel, and the surrounding land evokes Old Florida with its lush Live Oaks and wooded surroundings.
