Expect to be impressed with this beautifully appointed prime property in the heart of historic Windermere. Nestled in between the town’s Central Park and Lake Down, this home has the perfect mix of desirable original features and must-have contemporary living space. Upon arrival, you’ll be struck by the attractive front terrace with both open and covered space. It’s suitable for seating areas where you can take in the view of the meticulously landscaped lawn and the streetside row of ligustrum trees that provide privacy. Roof new in 2020. When you step inside, you’ll enter part of the original home. Here you’ll find highly polished hardwood flooring, a cedar closet, and a spacious, versatile room with one of two fireplaces. Currently arranged as a formal dining room, this space can be set up for whatever purpose suits your needs. Walk back to the heart of the home, where you’ll find a contemporary kitchen that’s open to common living space. Kitchen boasts quartz counters, breakfast bar, attractive tile backsplash, recessed lighting, 2 closet pantries and stainless appliances (included). Notice the wall of built-in cabinetry just off the kitchen – it’s great for all types of storage, and even has a drop-down panel that reveals what could serve as a mini-bar. The living room features a wall of windows which bathe the space in light and provide you with a wonderful view of your covered lanai, pool, and surrounding greenery. This room has a stone front, wood burning fireplace – always a plus on those chilly winter nights. Just off this space is the perfect den with backyard view, another space easily adaptable to your lifestyle. Split bedroom plan with master suite in the back. Here you’ll find an oversized bedroom with pool/patio views and elegant estate shutters. The ensuite bath features a dual sink vanity, soaker tub and separate shower. Custom designed master closet brings the WOW factor with an abundance of shelving, drawers and hanging space. Secondary bedrooms are off the front entry hall. Both are generous in size, have recessed lighting, and have access to the home’s secondary bath. Another reason to love this home is all that you have out back – expansive covered/slate tiled patio and pristine heated pool/spa under screen enclosure. The yard is completely fenced, and the lush foliage and landscaping provide you with your own private oasis as you enjoy fun in the sun. Property has an abundance of exterior lighting which provides absolutely beautiful night time illumination. Windermere residents enjoy deeded access to Lakes Bessie, Down, and Butler (about ½ mile away) and are permitted access to the community’s downtown tennis courts. You can walk one or two blocks in many directions and enjoy Central Park, Lake Street Park (on Lake Down), and of course, quaint Main Street with its farmers market and beloved shops (coffee, ice cream, tap room, and more). Short drive to Publix (less than 2 miles). Very good school district. No HOA. The seller has taken great care of this home for twenty years. You’ll love living here; come see all that makes it so special.
