1602 Alabama Dr

Originally constructed in 1921 as the Alabama Hotel and converted into condominiums, this low-rise, four-story Mediterranean Revival building comprises an intimate collection of mostly two-bedroom residences set on roughly three to five gated acres along Lake Maitland in Winter Park. Architectural character is preserved through high ceilings, original hardwood floors, crown moldings, and oversized custom doors, while many homes have been comprehensively renovated with contemporary kitchens, stone counters, built-ins and modern mechanical upgrades. Units offer a mix of configurations including corner plans, first-floor entries, a handful of private patios and rare multi-level penthouses with private terraces. Shared facilities emphasize waterfront living: a lakeside dock with rentable boat slips, a pool, clubhouse with fitness room and social spaces, climate-controlled storage, covered deeded parking and generous landscaped grounds with seating and pathways. Exterior details include balconies, French doors, irrigation and lighting across the grounds. The community enforces a no-rental policy, allows small to medium pets, and provides a lock-and-leave lifestyle extremely close to Park Avenue boutiques, restaurants, Kraft Azalea Gardens and other Old Winter Park amenities.
