RARE OPPORTUNITY This is the first time in 25 years that this estate is available! The home and grounds have been completely reimagined from what it was 25 years ago. The 1951 original property was almost completely torn down for the massive remodel in 1979. The home is one of only 7 homes designed in this style by local Orlando architect, Donovan Dean! Inspired by the Frank Lloyd Wright-Style of architecture and it lives up to it beautifully. Architecture and Lifestyle abound on this incredible lake front property that is meticulously landscaped from the entrance of the home down to the lake. .. including its own white sand beach escape. This is Architecture at its finest! Landscape lighting covers the almost 2 acres and lake fed irrigation also runs the entire property. The gardens provide a magnificient variety of flora and fauna all year long. The custom lanai was designed to stay true to the original architecture and it is 28'x 15' Perfect for enjoying more of the outdoor space. Inside the home you will find the theme of Wood, Glass and Stone. The foyer is spacious and leads right into a wonderful transition area with a large dry bar and tons of under counter cabinet space. The rear of the living room is all glass to enjoy the views overlooking the pool, down to the beach and the lake. The wood burning fireplace is a work of art that soars to the height of the ceiling that is at almost 13 feet! In the Dining Room the ceiling height is compressed to make it more of an intimate setting. You will find 2 custom built-in Butler's pantries and directly across will be another custom built-in buffet with incredible storage. Storage has been so very well thought out and makes this home an incredible place for entertaining. The main bathroom is more like stepping into a spa with natural Red Cedar, Custom Cabinetry, Graff Fixtures and Travertine. However, the real stunner is the size of the walk-in shower and how it opens to a private outdoor garden. As a plus, you will also find an attached room off of the 2 car, oversized, garage. This room is perfect as a workshop, art space, or extra storage. Outside of the garage is very well thought out service yard. All bathrooms have been renovated, The largest A/C & Natural Gas Furnace were replaced in 2024. The Tankless Natural Gas Water Heater was also replaced in 2024. The roof is now under contract to be replaced and will have a transferrable warranty!! This Home has been well cared for inside and out. LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! 130 Feet of Lake Frontage on a Private 60+ Acre Spring fed Ski Lake with slalom course, Rear South Facing to enjoy the 16'x 34' Saltwater Pool with Sun Shelf, Private White Sand Beach and Lake Views. Approximately 3 miles due South of Downtown Orlando and roughly 3 miles from the brand new Epic Universe Theme Park. .. one of the closest Lake Front Homes to Epic Universe. Close to everything and yet far enough away to feel secluded and remote. Rare Opportunities Don't Last Long! Don't wait on this one.
