About this home
A distinctive offering where design, location and performative upgrades come together seamlessly. One of the original modern homes in Winter Park, this iconic residence has been thoughtfully reimagined through a designer-led renovation that emphasizes clean lines, natural light, easy maintenance and high durability. The result is a bright, refined space that balances architectural character with modern comfort.
A flexible two-level layout offers main living areas on the first floor, complemented by an upper-level studio or retreat space with optional deck access, ideal for today’s lifestyle. Extensively improved with over $260,000 in recent upgrades, the home was enhanced with durability and efficiency in mind. Major improvements include a commercial-grade TPO roofing system with advanced drainage and a 20-year warranty completed in 2024, as well as hurricane-impact aluminum sliders all around with large missile-rated glass and enduring waterproofing.
Additional features such as a white reflective roof, whole-house surge protection, updated electrical components, and a new code-compliant deck railing further elevate the home’s long-term value and performance. The outdoor spaces have been equally curated, with mid-century-inspired landscaping designed for beauty and ease of maintenance. Palms, agave and drought-tolerant plantings create a clean, modern aesthetic, while redesigned yard spaces enhance openness and usability.
A professionally landscaped east yard, low-maintenance turf on the west side, a five-zone irrigation system, and private well irrigation contribute to a thoughtfully executed exterior environment. An expanded driveway provides ample parking, and outdoor lighting enhances ambiance and function. Just moments from desirable Park Avenue, this architecturally significant modern residence is ideally in one of Winter Park’s sought-after neighborhoods, near Lake Virginia, Rollins College and Winter Park Tennis Center.
Set on a quiet, tree-lined corner lot with no through traffic, the home enjoys an elevated position on a natural rise, offering peace of mind with no history of flooding, along with ideal north-facing orientation and beautiful natural light throughout the day.

Property taxes
✓ Certified county tax rollProperty taxes in Florida are reassessed after a sale, so a buyer’s first full-year bill can be higher than the seller’s. Budget from this estimate, not the current bill, before you make an offer.
Most of this comes from Florida’s Save Our Homes assessment cap resetting when the home sells — the current owner’s protected assessment does not transfer to a new buyer.

Comparable recent sales
6 closed sales within about 3 miles in the last 18 months — same property type, living area within 30% of this home. Sold prices are MLS closed-sale records, deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
Median of these 6 sales: $1,589,000 ($588/sq ft). Stronger local evidence. Shown for general reference only — not an appraisal or a statement of this home’s value.
The Messtimate
This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.
Stronger local evidence — 6 comparable closed sales within about 3 miles, closed within the last 18 months, same property type, living area within 30% of this home.
Actual list price: $1,525,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 22% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
- Condition & updates — a 1987 home may have had its roof, kitchen, or HVAC replaced since, or not; sq ft can't see either.
- The lot & views — a premium golf, water, or preserve lot vs. a road-facing one: same sq ft, very different price.
- Outliers skew it — the band above comes from 6 nearby sales; one flip or distressed sale moves the whole $/sq ft.
- Carrying costs & concessions — CDD, HOA, insurance, and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
- This home: 151 days on market vs. a 25-day community median
- 3 active listings competing
- ≈2.0 months of supply
- 13 closed here in the last 12 months
For reference, this home is listed at $1,525,000 ($578/sq ft). The list price is the seller's asking price and is not derived from this range.

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 446 Melrose Avenue, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 1987 (39 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- The listing reports no HOA: confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to this parcel.
- FEMA flood zone X: flood insurance is not usually required, but get a quote anyway — FEMA reports roughly one in four flood claims come from outside high-risk zones.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Orange County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
- Listed living area is 2,640 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
- Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
- Review permit history with the county.
- Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $24,600/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $3,225 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+15%). Exemptions and portability change the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser.
- School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 446 Melrose Avenue and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 446 Melrose Avenue was built in 1987 and has 2,640 sq ft of living area, 4 bedrooms and 2.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 446 Melrose Avenue in?
446 Melrose Avenue is in Virginia Heights Rep in Winter Park, Orange County. The comparable-sales section on this page shows recent closed sales nearby from the same MLS data.
Does 446 Melrose Avenue have an HOA?
The listing reports no HOA. Confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to the parcel.
Why might property taxes on 446 Melrose Avenue differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $24,600 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $3,225 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+15%). Florida reassesses a home after it sells; for a homesteaded seller the Save Our Homes cap on their assessment does not transfer, and a buyer's own exemptions and portability are applied separately, so the two bills usually differ. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 446 Melrose Avenue in a flood zone?
The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone X, outside the special flood hazard area, so flood insurance is not usually required by a lender. It is still available and worth quoting; confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
