1540 N LAKE MIRROR DRIVE NW

A rare fusion of architectural pedigree and true Chain of Lakes living, The Guest House is an iconic Mid-Century Modern residence designed and built by world-renowned architect Gene Leedy. Set quietly at the end of a cul-de-sac with no HOA, this lakefront property on picturesque Lake Mirror offers direct access to the Winter Haven Chain of Lakes—one of Florida’s most unique interconnected lake systems. A public boat ramp just steps away allows effortless launching for days spent skiing, cruising, or enjoying lakefront dining across 20+ connected lakes. A founding figure of the Sarasota School of Architecture, Gene Leedy is celebrated for his bold use of precast concrete, Ocala block, deep overhangs, passive cooling, and walls of glass—timeless hallmarks showcased throughout this residence. The Guest House stands as a sculptural, livable work of art, highlighted by Leedy’s iconic precast concrete double-“T” roof system, minimalist geometry, and expansive glazing that blurs the line between indoors and outdoors. Spanning two open levels, the home features dual living rooms, 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and multiple flexible-use areas—each space bathed in natural light and oriented to capture tranquil views. Towering two-story windows at the front entry and central atrium create dramatic symmetry, while elevated balconies extend from every upstairs living space and bedroom. Integrated closet systems preserve the clean modern aesthetic and eliminate the need for dressers. The heated, salt-filtered pool serves as the architectural centerpiece outdoors, framed by Leedy’s signature double-“T” beams and surrounded by private covered patios ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Nighttime exterior lighting transforms the home into a striking modern statement against its lakefront backdrop. Additional features include two covered carports, circular drive, solar panels, tasteful modern updates, and low-maintenance landscaping. Ideally located between Tampa and Orlando, this is a rare opportunity to own a preserved Gene Leedy masterpiece on the Winter Haven Chain of Lakes—an architectural landmark and a lifestyle destination in one.
