3 Brogden Court SE

Description

A custom blend of history, architecture, and contemporary warmth, 3 Brogden Court brings together contemporary simplicity, traditional influences, and Florida coastal ease—all in one unforgettable residence. Originally located near Downtown Winter Haven, the heart of the home was constructed in 1904 and carefully relocated to its current 1-acre setting and thoughtfully transformed into the distinctive, character-rich estate it is today. Offering 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 2 half baths, 3,918 sqft of living space, and over 5,000 sqft under roof, the home is tucked along a secluded drive with mature landscaping and a quiet street ideal for morning jogs, bike rides, or sunset strolls. The striking façade—framed by sweeping oaks, lush plantings, a circular drive, and hidden guest parking—sets the stage for the sun-drenched, curated interiors within. Warm hardwood floors, terracotta and mosaic tiles, carpeting in select areas, wood-lined ceilings, long sightlines, and thoughtfully placed windows fill the home with natural light. Architectural character is found throughout, including built-in shelving flanking the living room fireplace, detailed trim work, and hand-tooled banisters in the formal dining room. The formal living room captures serene views of the surrounding greenery, while the spacious family room—with Saltillo flooring and tongue-and-groove ceilings—embraces Florida’s indoor–outdoor lifestyle. The long, gallery-style kitchen offers clean-lined cabinetry, generous counters, transom windows, abundant storage, and a butler’s buffet with hidden understairs storage, making it perfect for those who love to cook and gather. The first-floor primary suite features multiple closets—including a walk-in—plus a dressing area, extended vanity, walk-in shower, and plumbing ready for a future soaking tub. An office and parlor complete the main level, while three guest bedrooms are privately positioned upstairs. Additional highlights include a large inside laundry room with separate storage room, an oversized three-car carport with attic storage, and an under-house crawlspace providing rare additional storage and easy access to components. This home naturally appeals to those who appreciate architecture, natural materials, clean lines, and curated spaces. Generous wall space, custom built-ins, and abundant natural light make it ideal for showcasing art, books, pottery, and handcrafted pieces. The quiet setting offers room to work, think, unwind, or entertain, while fans of contemporary and traditional design will love the warm woods and purposeful simplicity throughout. Snowbirds, second-home buyers, and long-term residents will value the home’s personality, craftsmanship, and enduring comfort—far from the standard Florida build. Set on a beautifully landscaped acre, the property feels peaceful and connected to nature—yet is minutes from outdoor recreation, golf, dining, shopping, and a vibrant downtown. Surrounded by 50 scenic lakes, including the renowned Winter Haven Chain of Lakes, residents enjoy watersports, lakeside dining, and unforgettable sunsets. With easy commutes to Tampa, Orlando, and major international airports, the convenience is unmatched.
