A rare offering in Lake Mary's coveted Steeplechase community. Behind a barrel tile roof, warm stucco facade, and arched window detailing, this Mediterranean inspired residence distinguishes itself from the moment you arrive, mature date palms, manicured rose and hedge landscaping, and a paver driveway leading to a 3 car garage configuration. Pass through the wrought iron gate into a private walled courtyard, a true Mediterranean villa moment with paver flooring, decorative iron accents, and string lit ambiance. The arched entry opens to a foyer with soaring tray ceilings, sculptural chandelier, crown molding, and continuous wood plank tile throughout. A light filled formal sitting room with coffered tray ceiling and crystal chandelier serves equally as a refined dining or music room. The home opens dramatically into an expansive great room with deep tray ceilings and triple sliders framing the resort style pool beyond. The chef's kitchen is the heart of the home: raised panel cream cabinetry with glazed detailing, leathered granite counters, full height shimmering mosaic backsplash, and a professional stainless suite, French door refrigerator, gas cooktop with separate induction surface, double wall ovens, vented range hood, and farmhouse apron sink. Dual built in wine refrigerators flank the cabinetry. An oversized island seats six beneath glass bell pendants, while a gold sputnik chandelier crowns the bay window breakfast nook overlooking the pool. The owner's retreat is a sanctuary, an oversized suite with dual tray ceilings, matching brass sputnik chandeliers, a dedicated sitting room, and private lanai access. The spa inspired primary bath delivers five star luxury: dual espresso vanities with granite tops, an oversized garden tub wrapped in dark mosaic tile, frameless walk in shower with dual rainfall heads, and a custom California Closets style walk in with floor to ceiling cabinetry. Three spacious secondary bedrooms and three full baths are all appointed with the same elevated finish package, granite vanities, espresso shaker cabinetry, oil rubbed bronze fixtures, stone look tile showers, so no space feels secondary. A dedicated home office sits behind glass paneled French doors. A Jack and Jill bath connects two secondary bedrooms. The fourth bedroom functions as a true junior suite with its own en suite. A pool bath with direct lanai access keeps wet feet out of the main living areas. The third car garage has been converted into a climate controlled home gym with mini split A/C, epoxy flooring, and arched windows, easily restored to a garage at any time. Outside, an oversized panoramic screen enclosure with cathedral peaks shelters a custom freeform PebbleTec pool with dual sheer descent waterfalls, color changing LED lighting, raised spa with stacked stone spillover, and dual fire and water bowls flanking a Buddha centerpiece. The covered lanai features a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, built in gas grill, professional vent hood, granite counters, beverage refrigerator, undermount sink, alongside alfresco dining and lounge seating. A separate pergola cabana with retractable shade canopy creates a third distinct outdoor "room" with fire pit conversation area. Mature privacy hedges ensure complete seclusion. Other upgrades include whole home surround sound, smart mobile pool controls, fire bowls all app managed. A private resort behind a Mediterranean facade in one of Lake Mary's most desirable enclaves.
