One-of-a-Kind Architectural Treasure by Gene Leedy on the Winter Haven Chain of Lakes: Gene Leedy and the Winter Haven Chain of Lakes—an extraordinarily combination and opportunity to own a true architectural statement on one of the most unique water-systems in all of Florida. Known as The Guest House, this Mid-Century Modern masterpiece was designed and built by world-renowned architect Gene Leedy, a founding figure of the Sarasota School of Architecture and a celebrated innovator in Florida modernism. Set quietly at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, this lakefront home on picturesque Lake Mirror masterfully blends bold modernist design with the natural beauty of one of Florida’s most iconic waterfront settings. Gene Leedy is celebrated for his pioneering use of pre-cast concrete structural systems in both residential and commercial architecture. His instantly recognizable style is defined by exposed structural elements, Ocala concrete block construction, enclosed courtyards, sliding glass doors, and passive-design strategies such as cross-ventilation, deep overhangs for sun protection, and natural day-lighting. The Guest House embodies many of these timeless hallmarks and stands as a dream realized for followers of the Mid-Century Modern movement—a living, breathing work of art curated by Leedy himself. From the iconic precast concrete double “T” roof system to minimalist geometry and walls of glass, every detail of the home reflects his enduring architectural brilliance. Spanning two open levels, the home offers dual living rooms, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and multiple flexible-use spaces—all bathed in natural light and designed to celebrate the surrounding landscape. Towering two-story windows at both the front entry and central atrium create dramatic symmetry and connection between indoor and outdoor living. Elevated balconies extend from each upstairs living space and every bedroom, offering tranquil treetop retreats. Each bedroom is outfitted with integrated closet organizers, eliminating the need for dressers and preserving the clean, open aesthetic. At the heart of the property, a heated, salt-filtered pool is surrounded by covered patios that showcase Leedy’s double “T” beams as architectural sculpture. The backyard is fully fenced for privacy and function, while at night, dramatic exterior lighting transforms the home into an inviting backdrop for unforgettable entertaining and meaningful conversation. Set directly on Lake Mirror—part of the famed Winter Haven Chain of Lakes—the property offers direct waterfront access, as well as easy boat launching from a nearby community ramp. Spend your days boating, skiing, paddleboarding, or fishing across 20+ interconnected lakes, then dock at one of many waterfront restaurants to enjoy live music, food, and sunset drinks. Additional highlights include two covered carports, a circular drive for ample guest parking, solar panels, tasteful modern updates, and low-maintenance landscaping. Centrally located between Tampa and Orlando, you’re minutes from international airports, premier medical facilities, boutique shopping, and top-rated dining. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence or a seasonal design escape, The Guest House offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a legacy property that honors timeless design, natural beauty, and architectural heritage. Schedule your private tour today and experience the artistry, serenity, and lifestyle of life on the Winter Haven Chain.
