1419 Chichester St

Beverly Shores Beauty with an incredible history! This exceptional home was built in 1947 by Orlando architect Howard G. Lindsay. As a longtime resident of Orlando, he was also involved in the construction & donation of the Winter Park Veteran’s Memorial Fountain found on Park Ave in 1920. Lindsay specifically designed & built the Chichester home for his young family. The lot was chosen because the elevation allowed him to construct a full basement, which was & still is rare to find in Orlando. Many of the original pines on the lot were used in the construction of the home. His innovative design included a very expansive front gathering room & large dining room for hosting friends & family which still offer great space for modern entertaining. Only on its 3rd owners, the home was recently & thoughtfully renovated including the over 1000 SF basement which was transformed into a refined living space featuring a mud room, fabulous laundry room, guest bath, game room, large media room with a dining area & computer work space. Additionally, the kitchen was also renewed with striking granite counters, refinished cabinets & back splash. Every bath has been reinvented into examples of modern sophistication. Some other design touches & upgrades are new lighting, new windows, custom blinds, shutters & drapes, newer HVACs, newer hot water tank, upgraded electrical, new exterior paint. Now zoned for the new K-8 Audubon Park School. This lovely & unique home is ready to add you to its history, so come take a look!
