Property Description

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. A rare opportunity in Windermere's established Lakes / Lake Down neighborhood — an exceptional builder's home offering the quality & finishes typically found at much higher price points. Set on a beautifully manicured ONE-ACRE LOT with BOAT ACCESS to the BUTLER CHAIN OF LAKES, this residence blends comfort, sophistication & the true Central Florida lake lifestyle. Homes offering this combination of space, craftsmanship & location seldom come to market — making this truly a one-of-a-kind opportunity within this intimate enclave of just 60 homes. From the moment you arrive, the sweeping paver drive & circular approach framed by expansive lawn & mature landscaping create an inviting estate feel rarely found this close to downtown Windermere. Inside, timeless details shine: solid birch hardwood floors, crown molding, designer lighting, recessed lighting throughout & classic plantation shutters adding polish & privacy. The open, light-filled kitchen & family room are designed for everyday living & effortless entertaining. The kitchen is a true gathering space featuring quartzite countertops, large wood island, farmhouse sink, polished gooseneck faucet with side sprayer, classic subway tile backsplash, wall-mounted pot filler, double ovens & an extra-wide side-by-side refrigerator. The spacious family room offers a built-in media wall & French doors opening directly to the lanai & pool for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The PRIMARY SUITE ON THE MAIN LEVEL feels like a private retreat — spacious, serene & finished with plantation shutters, elegant lighting & room for a sitting area. The spa-inspired bath features dual vanities with vessel sinks, abundant storage, soaking tub & large walk-in shower with designer tile accents. Upstairs, a generous loft/family room provides the perfect bonus space for movies, game nights, homework hub or second lounge, complete with impressive gray built-in bookcases. Secondary bedrooms are generously sized with ample closet space & en-suite baths. Step outside to an unforgettable outdoor retreat: full screened enclosure & an expansive 60' x 12' COVERED LANAI — a truly massive extension of the living space. The RESORT-STYLE POOL & RAISED SPA are complemented by travertine decking with custom grid pattern & turf inlays, creating generous space for lounging, dining & entertaining — with room to add an outdoor kitchen if desired. Mature trees enhance privacy & tranquility. And then there’s the showpiece backyard feature — a CUSTOM ELEVATED TREE HOUSE tucked among the trees. Designed with multiple windows, a charming wood door, circular staircase & tubular slide, this versatile retreat can serve as an art studio, workout space, creative office, homeschool room or unforgettable teen hangout — a rare feature that sets this home apart in the very best way. Neighborhood amenities include tennis/pickleball court & private boat ramp to Lake Down connecting to the Butler Chain of Lakes. Roof (2021), Water Heater (2026), A/C 2-ton (2018), A/C 4-ton (2016). Zoned for Thornebrooke (walking distance), Gotha Middle & Olympia High. Easy access to 429, Turnpike, 408 & downtown Windermere.
