Welcome to this beautifully appointed 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom pool home, custom built in 2020, in the highly sought-after Apshawa View community of Minneola. Thoughtfully designed with a functional open floor plan, this home offers the perfect balance of everyday comfort and entertaining. Situated on an over half-acre homesite on one of Minneola's elevated ridges, this property offers beautiful elevated views, exceptional privacy, and generous space between neighbors-a refreshing alternative to many newer communities. With minimal HOA fees and no CDD, you'll enjoy the benefits of a well-maintained neighborhood without the added expense. From the moment you enter, you'll appreciate quality craftsmanship featuring 10-foot ceilings, 8-foot solid-core doors, crown molding, and coffered ceilings in the hallway, dining room, and primary suite. The open living area features built-in surround sound, creating the perfect space for relaxing or entertaining. Smart-home technology allows you to control interior and exterior lighting, holiday roof lights, the air conditioning, pool equipment, irrigation, garage doors, and front-door access-all from your smartphone. Every room includes a ceiling fan and light. Luxury vinyl plank flooring flows throughout the main living areas, complemented by carpet in the bedrooms, tile in the bathrooms, and plantation shutters. Additional upgrades include a propane tankless water heater, gas fireplace, gas-heated pool, garage utility sink, laundry room sink, and five exterior surveillance cameras with automatic motion tracking. Step outside to your private backyard retreat featuring a sparkling pool and an expansive paver deck with ample space for entertaining, basketball, or relaxing. Bonus feature: You'll probably meet the home's unofficial security guard-a life-size Alien from Alien vs. Predator. It keeps watch over the house, impresses guests, and has yet to scare away a serious buyer. (The Alien is not included in the sale!) The oversized 3-car garage features elevated ceilings, providing ample clearance for larger vehicles and the potential to install car lifts-an ideal setup for automotive enthusiasts, hobbyists, or additional storage. Combined with the extra-wide, extended driveway accommodating 10+ vehicles, this property offers exceptional parking and versatility for guests, boats, trailers, and recreational vehicles. Perfectly situated, this home is just minutes from Historic Downtown Clermont and Lake Minneola Waterfront Park, offering waterfront dining, scenic walking and biking trails, playgrounds, a splash pad, and year-round events. Commuters will appreciate being approximately 5 minutes from the Florida Turnpike, 35 minutes to Walt Disney World, 35-40 minutes to the Kia Center in downtown Orlando, home of the Orlando Magic NBA team, and 40 minutes to Orlando International Airport (MCO). This exceptional home combines custom craftsmanship, smart-home convenience, luxury finishes, an oversized ½+ acre homesite, elevated views, privacy, low HOA with no CDD, and an unbeatable Central Florida location. If you've been searching for a home that offers space, style, technology, and a neighborhood where you can truly breathe, you've found it.
