2501 LAFAYETTE AVENUE,WINTER PARK,Orange,Residential

Virtually Staged. A rare new construction offering in the heart of Winter Park — 2501 Lafayette Ave is a 2,810 sq ft architectural residence crafted by award-winning Catalyst Design, LLC, a 25-year firm and Parade of Homes judge across Naples, Daytona & Southwest Florida. 4 bed | 4 bath | office | 2-car garage | saltwater pool. Every detail built to a single standard: the highest one. Step through the custom pivot front door into a home that immediately announces its intentions. Soaring 10-ft ceilings throughout rise to a dramatic 22-ft volume in the great room, framed by sliding glass walls that dissolve the line between interior living and the private outdoor retreat beyond. Level 5 smooth drywall finish — the standard reserved for the finest custom builds — runs throughout, while wide-plank hardwood flooring flows across every living area. Italian porcelain tile anchors all bathrooms and the laundry room with precision and permanence. Every window and exterior door is imported from Germany — Unilux® precision-engineered for thermal performance, acoustic excellence, and longevity that no domestic product can match. Grohe® plumbing fixtures, also made in Germany, carry that same philosophy through every bathroom. Countertops are Cambria or Silestone® quartz with a thickened 3cm mitered edge throughout. Custom solid wood cabinetry is built to plan in the kitchen, laundry, and all bathrooms, finished with Emtek® hardware and 8-ft solid core architectural doors with 7″ baseboard throughout.
The Winter Park Chain of Lakes — 12 interconnected lakes spanning 2,781 acres of pristine Florida waterways — is moments away, offering boating, paddleboarding, and the beloved Winter Park Scenic Boat Tour. Over 70 parks, Kraft Azalea Gardens, Mead Botanical Garden, and more than a dozen walkable green spaces define the outdoor lifestyle. The Winter Park Farmers’ Market, held every Saturday at the historic train station, is a community institution. Rollins College, one of the South’s most respected liberal arts institutions, sits lakeside just minutes away, bringing cultural programming, the Bach Festival, and vibrant intellectual energy to the neighborhood year-round.
Families are served by highly rated Orange County public schools, with Winter Park High School renowned for its academic rigor and championship programs, as well as exceptional private options, including Trinity Preparatory School and St. Margaret Mary. New construction in 32789 is genuinely rare — historic preservation standards and limited land availability make it so. For international buyers, Orlando International Airport is 30 minutes south. Disney, Universal, and the theme park corridor are under 30 minutes via I-4. Atlantic beaches are under an hour away. This is not a production home dressed up with upgrades. It is a ground-up, custom-built, German-engineered, the most coveted zip code in Central Florida. Schedule your private showing today.
