1009 LAKE BELL DRIVE WINTER PARK FL 32789 MLS #O6409849

Winter Park waterfront properties offering this combination of lot size, privacy, and long-term potential seldom become available. Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street and held by the same family since 1974, this canal-front property is situated on a canal leading to Lake Bell and enjoys a substantial tree-canopied setting that feels remarkably private while remaining close to everything Winter Park has to offer. Built in 1958, the single-story concrete block residence features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, approximately 1,467 square feet of living area, and a two-car garage. The floor plan includes generously sized bedrooms, updated bathrooms, open living and dining spaces accented by crown molding and tall baseboards, a cozy family room with a wood-burning fireplace, and an updated kitchen with granite countertops, shaker-style cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. Additional features include an interior laundry room and a large screened porch overlooking the backyard, dock, and canal. A 4-point inspection completed in June 2026 is available for buyer review and reflects satisfactory conditions in all major categories. Major system updates include a roof replacement in 2019, HVAC replacement in 2021, water heater replacement in 2019, updated electrical panels, and updated water supply plumbing. Orange County Property Appraiser records reflect approximately 0.47 acres with dimensions of approximately 67 x 207 x 133 x 224 feet. Preliminary measurements using Orange County Property Appraiser mapping tools suggest an estimated upland area in excess of 15,000 square feet, providing ample space for outdoor living, recreation, gardening, or future improvements. Whether enjoyed as-is, thoughtfully renovated, expanded, or completely reimagined as a custom waterfront residence, the property’s greatest asset is its exceptional setting, water access, and generous land area. Zoned for Hungerford Elementary School, College Park Middle School, and Edgewater High School, which earned an A school grade in 2025, the property also benefits from convenient proximity to Winter Park’s renowned shopping, dining, parks, entertainment, major roadways, and Downtown Orlando.
