Enjoy stunning sunsets from your private estate with expansive views, located on Lake Down, the prestigious Butler Chain of Lakes in Windermere. This well appointed property features 2.78 acres with fully fenced terraced grounds, electric security gates, brick pavers, mature landscaping for privacy, and 130 feet of water frontage with a seawall, enclosed boat house, dock, and lift. The heated 7,363 square feet of living space includes the main home with 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, as well as a lake guest house. Most rooms are graced with breathtaking views. Almost 10,000 square feet under roof, with a porte cochere, extensive balconies, walkways, outdoor kitchen, and multiple patios. The screened pool area has an inviting resort feel, complete with a waterfall, slide, and hot tub, all connected to the outdoor entertainment areas. Many quality upgrades, expansive ceilings with craftsman woodwork, wood and marble floors, formal dining with a music room, and fireplaces in the living, family room, and primary bedroom. The living room features a floor to ceiling window with remote control blind, taking full advantage of the priceless view. The main staircase gives a dramatic vantage point to appreciate the open floor plan, ideal for entertaining. The well appointed kitchen features a chef's prep kitchen, electric and Wolf gas double oven, two Sub Zeros, double dishwashers, and a built in espresso machine. All kitchen elements are set within rich wood custom cabinetry and granite countertops, with a breakfast room that leads to the pool area. The guest bathroom, laundry & family room are all conveniently located near the pool. The primary suite is downstairs and includes a private screened porch, remote control blackout blind, custom cabinet with washer & dryer, and a large master bath with a soaking tub, walk in shower all with elegant stonework. The suite is adjoined by a generous custom closet, safe for valuables, private gym with mirror, rubber floor, bonus storage, and a private staircase to the upstairs. Upstairs features large bedrooms with lots of closet space, balconies overlooking the water with Ipe decks and a secondary family room or playroom for the family. The lake cottage spells fun with balconies all around and views of the water and pool on three sides. Open beam ceilings, bamboo and new luxury vinyl wood floors, full kitchen & living room upstairs with a full bedroom and bath downstairs complete with a wet bar. The property has rear yard access down to the lake, great for boat parking or extra parking when you rally the team for a volleyball match on the court. You can also utilize the tennis courts & private boat ramp just a short walk down the street. There are too many low maintenance, cost saving features to list, but a few include; energy efficient solar power, metal roof, and three on demand propane powered gas water heaters. There are over $55,000 in solar panels that will save countless dollars over the years and is good for the environment. The electric bills are minimal. As I mentioned earlier Ipe hardwood is the best exotic hardwood the industry has to offer and it was used on the extensive decks for low maintenance. A new two horse sprinkler pump was recently installed that draws from the lake to maintain the exotic landscape. The durable easy to clean composite dock has two lifts & two boat slips. The owner will even throw in the $50,000 ski boat (approx Value) with an acceptable offer.
