Winter Park farmhouse owned by Thomas Edison’s son is still on the market, now $145K cheaper

One of Central Florida’s most historical structures, the Winter Park farmhouse once owned by Thomas Edison’s youngest son, remains on the market, but now with a price drop.

Known as the Harris-Edison House, the home is located at 1554 Harris Circle in Winter Park. Its construction dates back to 1887, and it was first owned by Thomas Edison’s youngest son, Ted, and his wife, Anne.

The home had previously been off the market for more than 30 years. During that time, it was named Homes & Gardens magazine’s “Florida Home of the Year.”

The house has been thoroughly restored, while maintaining its Old Florida charm and history. Original details like heart of pine floors, cast-iron bathtubs, a hand-carved staircase, sleeping porches and all-over gothic farmhouse architectural details have all been refurbished. The kitchen, however, is completely modernized, and features a stained-glass window imported from England.

The home is located directly across from Lake Sylvan and has neighborhood access for paddle boards, kayaks and fishing.

We last reported the home was listed for $1,220,000, back in March. Now, the asking price is $1,075,000.

The listing agent is Jennifer Sloan with Kelly Price & Company LLC.
