A lakefront home in Winter Haven designed by renowned architect Gene Leedy has sold for $2,025,000, marking the highest recorded price for a single-family home in the area over the past year. Represented by Michael Saunders & Company’s Ashley Nuccio, the transaction reflects continued demand for distinctive properties across Florida’s luxury market.
Designed in 2006 for Leedy’s daughter, the residence embodies the principles of the Sarasota School of Architecture, with soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Set along Otis Lake, the home’s architectural significance and thoughtful design underscore a growing appreciation for properties that combine craftsmanship, history, and a strong sense of place.
