An Orlando-area home that once belonged to the president of SunTrust Bank has hit the market with major updates and amenities.

The home, located at 808 Sweetwater Club Blvd. in Longwood, was built in 1977 and formerly belonged to SunTrust president Joel R. Wells before his death in 1991. The last time the residence went on the market in 2021, it was still in the possession of Daboor Holdings.

Like its ownership, the home hadn’t changed much in terms of decor, either. It was left sporting an uncanny resemblance to an abandoned ’80s-style shopping mall. 

But now, the mid-century modern home is back on the market, and this time it’s boasting a complete remodel and architectural modernizations throughout. 

The house has eight bedrooms, nine bathrooms and 14,801 square feet total. It has soaring ceilings, plenty of natural light, an enclosed courtyard pool, a summer kitchen with a pizza oven, a private tennis court and all updated appliances. 

The listing price is $4,695,000, and the listing agents are Christopher Christensen and Jane Peterson with Compass Florida.
