Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty cuts asking price on historic Britt House and grounds in Winter Garden

LAKE MARY, Fla. --- Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty has significantly reduced the asking price for a unique and historic luxury home in Winter Garden. Roger Soderstrom, founder and owner of Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty, said the three-story, 5,292 square foot Britt House, built as a southern mansion for a prominent citrus grower in 1927, includes three office buildings that total 7,256 square feet of space. The asking price has been reduced from $ 1,750,000 to $ 1,495,000, and the seller is now considering all offers, Soderstrom said. Though totally renovated, the Britt House may be more valuable for its location on the recently four-laned E. Plant Street in Winter Garden just off S.R. 429, the Central Florida Expressway. The 5.15 acre site is zoned for high intensity office and retail development, Soderstrom added. “This is a prime corner site with full signalization that offers offsite storm water retention,” Soderstrom said. “The property offers tremendous future expansion and development opportunities.” Soderstrom said the estate has been fully restored to its original condition with beautiful hardwood floors, a grand staircase, custom millwork, several fireplaces, large architectural windows, and a double porte cochere. “The brick exterior features two-story columns along the front veranda with an impressive front entrance,” Soderstrom said. “The main level features a large tiled Florida room wrapped in windows. The original tile is still intact and in perfect condition. It was originally used for dancing and parties,” he said.
