Regal | Christie’s International Real Estate Handles $2.4 Million Sale of Bay Hill House Owned by Fresh off the Boat TV Family

ORLANDO – A spacious lakefront estate on the Butler Chain of Lakes – which was owned by a Taiwanese family whose life in America was the inspiration for a TV sitcom – has sold for $2.45 million.
The 8,183-square-foot house – in Bay Hill's gated Isle of Osprey community – was sold by Louis and Jessica Huang, the parents of Eddie Huang who authored the book, “Fresh Off the Boat,” according to Chris Christensen, Broker/ Owner of Regal | Christie's International Real Estate, who represented the sellers.

Christensen said the six-bedroom, 6½-bath home, which sits on more than an acre on Osprey Isle Lane and has 230 feet of lake frontage was designed and built by the Huang family in 1996. Eddie Huang’s book, which became the popular ABC television series, tells the story of his family’s immigration from Taiwan to Washington and then to their home in Orlando. The Huangs now are relocating to California.
A unique feature of the house is its round, two-story great room, which offers breathtaking sunset views of Lake Chase. Other highlights are a boat dock with lift, resort-style pool, home theater and a four-car garage, as well as travertine tile, hand-carved moldings, Venetian plaster, a custom staircase and an expansive home gym.
Christensen said the new owners, Jeffrey and Tanya Borysiewicz, were represented by Rene Wagner of RE/MAX Town Centre. Christensen added that the couple plans to renovate the house to update it and make it more their own style.
