Welcome to 185 Birchwood Drive, a rare Maitland SKIABLE LAKEFRONT retreat offering the perfect combination of privacy, elevation, and effortless Florida luxury. Positioned high above the waterline with sweeping lake views, this property delivers true lake living without the typical flood insurance requirement. Inside, the home is bright and inviting with luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout and a functional layout designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining. The open-concept main living space is highlighted by vaulted ceilings and a dramatic wall of glass framing the water, flowing seamlessly into the kitchen with generous cabinetry, stainless appliances, and a large center island ideal for gathering. The home also features beautifully updated bathrooms, and a split floor plan that provides ideal separation for guests, a home office, or multi-generational living. Outdoors, enjoy a private waterfront oasis complete with a resort-style pool, expansive entertaining space, and fully fenced yard perfect for dogs, and a updated 2019 roof. And because the lake is private, you can enjoy boating without the hassle of registering your boat—a rare convenience for waterfront owners. Perfectly located near I-4 with express lane access, 17-92, and just minutes to Park Avenue / Winter Park, this home offers the lifestyle buyers want most: stunning views, privacy, convenience, and true lakefront enjoyment.
