Property Description
Tucked inside one of Windermere's most sought-after gated communities, this beautifully landscaped luxury residence combines refined interior touches with tranquil outdoor living. With every bedroom featuring its own private ensuite, this layout offers both comfort and flexibility—whether you need guest space, office space, or room to stretch out. One of the highlights? The expansive 27-foot primary bedroom, offering a rare amount of space and comfort rarely found in similar homes. From the moment you arrive, you'll notice the classic curb appeal—brick-paved driveway, barrel tile roof, and a lush landscape framing the welcoming entry. Inside, a bright open-concept layout offers seamless flow from the formal dining area to the casual breakfast nook and spacious living room. Custom drapes, ceramic tile flooring in the main areas, and laminate wood floors in the bedrooms give the home a polished, cohesive feel. The kitchen is a true highlight—appointed with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a closet pantry, and a breakfast bar ideal for casual dining. A window over the stove brings in natural light, while a nearby laundry room offers added convenience. Pocketing sliding glass doors lead to a screened-in patio that blends indoor comfort with outdoor charm. Beyond the patio, the fully fenced yard is a private retreat featuring lush greenery, a thoughtfully designed brick-paved path and patio, and a tucked-away fountain surrounded by sculpted shrubs. Whether you're sipping morning coffee, hosting guests, or enjoying some quiet time, this backyard is both functional and picturesque. The downstairs primary suite is generously sized and includes a walk-in closet and a well-designed ensuite bathroom featuring double vanities, a large soaking tub, private water closet and a walk-in shower. A second downstairs bedroom also includes a private ensuite—ideal for guests or multi-generational needs. Upstairs, a massive bonus room offers flexibility as a third bedroom, media room, or office—with its own full bathroom and three closets for ample storage. The home also includes a single-car garage and a separate two-car garage, allowing for multiple vehicles or additional storage. Just a short stroll from your front door, you'll find the Belmere clubhouse—complete with an events space, a fitness center, tennis courts, basketball court, community pool, and playground. Belmere Village is known for its serene lakes, scenic walking paths, and strong sense of community—all behind secure gated access. Windermere is prized for its peaceful charm and proximity to it all. Belmere offers quick access to major highways, top-rated schools, and world-renowned attractions like Walt Disney World—just 20 minutes away. Local shopping and dining are just around the corner, and the nearby Winter Garden Village and Dr. Phillips areas provide even more options. Zoned for high-performing public schools and near elite private options like Windermere Prep, this location blends convenience with prestige. Additional notable features: 8-year-old A/C, decorative built-ins and soaring ceilings. If you're seeking an elegant home in a premier community with generous space, timeless finishes, and convenient access to the best of Central Florida—this is it.
