Property Description

Luxury meets laid-back lake living on Lake Hancock in Winter Garden, inside the sought-after Independence community with parks, trails, and a true neighborhood feel. Custom built by Brierhill Homes, recognized as MCBC Builder of the Year, and professionally designed/furnished by Gilmore Design Co., this exceptional direct lakefront residence sits on one of the area’s largest lots—with an oversized, fully fenced backyard and wide-open water and sunset views from most interior living areas and bedrooms. Arrive via an impressive circular drive and step into a striking entry featuring a custom front door, polished natural stone flooring, and a dramatic stone accent wall—framed by a deep, covered front porch with a rich wood-plank ceiling that immediately sets the tone. It’s a welcoming space that’s perfect for a small seating area to enjoy morning coffee or greet guests in style. Inside, the home is bright, elevated, and designed for both entertaining and everyday comfort, highlighted by a timeless coastal-modern palette, a beautiful white oak staircase with integrated LED lighting under each step, and custom ceiling details throughout (including soffit/tray accents and integrated lighting). The layout offers 5 bedrooms—each with a private en-suite bathroom, walk-in closet, and blackout honeycomb shades for comfort and privacy—including a stunning first-floor primary suite with serene lake and backyard views, plus a dedicated first-floor guest suite. You’ll also love the private office and a media room that easily works as a flex space (playroom, gym, second lounge, or homework room). At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen showcases Thermador appliances and a show-stopping double island topped with Cambria quartz with subtle gold veining, plus a custom chevron-designed backsplash highlighted by under-cabinet LED lighting. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the main living space for true indoor-outdoor living. A wall of living room sliding glass doors opens wide, creating one expansive space that connects the interior to the lanai, pool, and lake beyond. The living area is anchored by a sleek gas fireplace with a natural stone surround and custom built-ins. Enjoy built-in Sonos sound in the living room and kitchen, with audio extended to the outdoor kitchen as well—plus the flex/media space is pre-wired if additional speakers are desired. Out back, unwind in your private retreat with a heated pool and spa, generous covered areas, and a summer kitchen made for sunset dinners. The first-floor lanai (including the summer kitchen) and the second-floor balcony are both fully encapsulated with motorized screens controlled by remote—perfect for effortless, bug-free evenings—while the outdoor ceilings feature a warm wood-plank accent that brings a high-end, resort feel throughout the outdoor living spaces. Additional highlights include a whole-home water softener/filtration system (low/zero maintenance), a built-in security system with exterior cameras, built-in Sonos audio, and whole-home smart lighting with keypad controls and scene presets—plus an oversized 3-car garage. A portion of the lot extends into the lake. Select furniture may be purchased separately upon request.
