Majestic and stately, this castle inspired residence sits on a 1.2 acre homesite within the privately gated enclave of Lake Down Crest. Its commanding presence is defined by patterned stone and brickwork, gabled rooflines, slate accents, wooden beams, and a shimmering grand fountain that sets an unforgettable first impression. Double front doors open to an impressive foyer flanked by formal living and dining rooms, while a step down home theater or richly paneled den-with custom built ins-creates a dramatic focal point. The well appointed kitchen features an island with prep sink, stainless appliances, gas cooktop, pantry, and a bright breakfast nook, making it ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. The inviting family room showcases a fireplace, custom millwork, and wood flooring, with French doors that lead to a Travertine patio overlooking the pool, elevated spa with waterfall, iron fencing, and paver decking. The primary retreat is a sanctuary of its own, complete with a private entrance foyer, bedroom with ceiling niche, fireplace, alcove, separate den or nursery, and a luxurious bath featuring a double headed pass through shower, jetted tub, marble topped vanities, and a spacious walk in closet. A secondary guest suite is also conveniently located on the main level. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms accompany a massive bonus room over the garage-perfect as a game room, theater, sixth bedroom, or private guest wing. A rare Florida feature, the finished basement offers exceptional flexibility for a game room, office, or substantial storage. A four and a half car drive through garage provides entrances on both sides and abundant storage. The home is nestled within an exclusive 32 residence community in East Windermere, offering top tier schools and effortless access to SR 408, downtown Orlando, I 4, Mall at Millenia, Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, and Central Florida's premier attractions.
