Night and his team sold the 12,190-square-foot Mediterranean-style home on Via Tuscany<\/a> after just more than a month on the market. It was the second time he sold the property.<\/p>\n \u201cI sold the family that property initially, back in 1999 for $1.2 million before they built that home,\u201d he told GrowthSpotter, adding the sellers have lived in the home ever since. \u201cThere are a lot of things about this property that are special to me. It was kind of a full circle event for me.\u201d<\/p>\n Public records show the sellers are the family of the late Steven Miller and his widow, Kathleen Miller. The Millers are well-known philanthropists in the Orlando area, with a large involvement with Opera Orlando.<\/p>\n The six-bedroom and six-bath home has a sprawling layout and a dedicated space for a grand piano, which was perfect for entertaining fundraisers and productions for Opera Orlando<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Millers built the house with Akers Custom Homes<\/a>, basing it on styles they saw during their travels.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was extremely well-maintained over the years. The house was virtually in original condition from 2002,\u201d Night said, adding he is not sure what changes the buyers plan to make.<\/p>\n The bedrooms are separated into wings in the main home, with a first-floor primary suite, along with a guest suite. Two other wings have additional bedrooms.<\/p>\n The main living areas have lots of windows with a second-floor mezzanine overlooking the living spaces below.<\/p>\n There are two detached garages, but both are connected via breezeways to the main house, sharing a connected roof structure.<\/p>\n \u201cYou have kind of a compound effect, the way that [the house is] sitting on so much land. You got the main house, you got a detached two-car garage, and you\u2019ve got a detached three-car garage,\u201d Night said, adding there is also a detached office space, which could be another bedroom. \u201cIt is unusual to see that many different elements that are detached yet attached.\u201d<\/p>\n The waterfront home sits on 2.18 acres on Lake Maitland with 187 feet of waterfront.<\/p>\n \u201cThe house faces west and it\u2019s an elevated sunset view.\u201d<\/p>\n Near the lake and pool is a 700-square-foot cabana building, with a bar, bath, and game area with a pool table.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd then separate from that, they had a wraparound screened lanai that had outdoor dining and the summer kitchen area,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s fully finished and air conditioned, not just an open-air cabana type setup.\u201d<\/p>\n That lakefront is what Night says attracted the buyers, which public records show as Cindy and Peter Zimmerman.<\/p>\n \u201cOur lakefront inventory is extremely low and has been for the last few years. You just don\u2019t find the opportunity to buy an estate home of this size in Winter Park because we\u2019re a primary residence town, so we don\u2019t typically see estate properties like this come available very often.\u201d<\/p>\n He explained the first sale in the area over $10 million was in 2017, with others in 2021, 2022, 2024, 2025, and now 2026. It\u2019s a trend that Night sees as continuing because of the scarcity of available properties.<\/p>\n \u201cBy the time you find the land, design the home, and build, you\u2019re easily in that three to four year bracket and then some, so it\u2019s a commitment,\u201d he said. \u201cThere just aren\u2019t that many that come available.\u201d<\/p>\n Have a tip about Central Florida development?
