One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. A RARE OFFERING in Windermere's established Lakes / Lake Down neighborhood - this exceptional builder's home combines ONE ACRE, FIVE EN-SUITE BEDROOMS, and BOAT ACCESS TO THE BUTLER CHAIN OF LAKES with the quality, craftsmanship, and timeless finishes typically found at much higher price points. Tucked within an intimate enclave of just 60 homes, this is a rare chance to own a property that delivers the space, privacy, and lifestyle buyers want - yet seldom find this close to downtown Windermere.From the moment you arrive, the sweeping paver drive and circular approach create a true estate presence.Inside, timeless architectural details and thoughtful finishes define the home. SOLID BIRCH HARDWOOD FLOORS, CROWN MOLDING, DESIGNER LIGHTING, RECESSED LIGHTING, and PLANTATION SHUTTERS throughout create a warm, polished backdrop that feels both elevated and comfortable. The floor plan lives beautifully for everyday life while offering the scale and flow needed for entertaining.At the heart of the home, the open kitchen and family room are light-filled, inviting, and designed to gather people naturally. The kitchen is a standout space featuring QUARTZITE COUNTERTOPS, a substantial wood island, FARMHOUSE SINK, polished gooseneck faucet with side sprayer, classic SUBWAY TILE BACKSPLASH, WALL-MOUNTED POT FILLER, DOUBLE OVENS, and an extra-wide side-by-side refrigerator. The spacious family room offers a built-in media wall and FRENCH DOORS opening directly to the lanai and pool for seamless indoor-outdoor living.The PRIMARY SUITE ON THE MAIN LEVEL feels like a private retreat - spacious, serene, and beautifully finished with plantation shutters, elegant lighting, and room for a sitting area. The spa-inspired bath features dual vanities with vessel sinks, abundant storage, a soaking tub, and a large walk-in shower with designer tile accents.A standout feature is the rare bedroom configuration: FIVE EN-SUITE BEDROOMS, offering exceptional comfort and privacy for family and guests. Upstairs, a generous loft/family room with impressive gray built-in bookcases provides the perfect flex space for movies, game nights, a homework hub, second lounge, or media retreat.Step outside and the lifestyle only gets better. A FULL SCREENED ENCLOSURE and expansive 60' x 12' COVERED LANAI create a dramatic extension of the living space. The RESORT-STYLE POOL AND RAISED SPA are framed by travertine decking with a custom grid pattern and turf inlays, offering generous room for lounging, dining, and entertaining, with space to add an outdoor kitchen.And then there is the unforgettable feature that truly sets this property apart - a CUSTOM ELEVATED TREE HOUSE tucked among the trees. Designed with multiple windows, a charming wood door, circular staircase, and tubular slide, this remarkable space can serve as an art studio, workout room, creative office, homeschool room, reading nook, or unforgettable teen retreat.Neighborhood amenities include a TENNIS/PICKLEBALL COURT and PRIVATE BOAT RAMP to Lake Down, connecting to the BUTLER CHAIN OF LAKES.
