Majestic and stately castle-style home set on a 1.2-acre lot in privately gated Lake Down Crest. This dramatic residence stands supreme for its commanding curb appeal accentuated by patterned stone and brickworks, gable roof, shimmering grand estate floor fountain, wooden beams, garage overhangs, and slate roof. Double front doors set the stage for a welcoming grand entrance with formal living and dining room spaces off the foyer plus a step-down showstopping home theater or den with dramatic wood paneling and custom built-ins. Kitchen with island and preparation sink are well-suited for entertaining and everyday living – plus, breakfast nook, pantry, stainless appliances, and gas cooktop. Inviting family room features fireplace, custom millwork, wood flooring, and French doors leading to a Travertine patio - plus pool, elevated spa with waterfall, iron fencing, and paver decking. Primary retreat is perfectly suited with separate entrance foyer, bedroom with ceiling niche, fireplace, alcove, separate den or nursery, and luxurious master bath with double-headed pass-through shower, jetted tub, double vanities with marble, and walk-in closet. Secondary guest bedroom suite is also located on the first floor. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms plus massive bonus retreat over the garage – which could be an ideal game room, theater, 6th bedroom, guest wing – so many possibilities. Downstairs from the main floor is a rarity for Florida: a finished basement! Could be a great game room or office space or enormous storage room. A four-and a half car drive-through garage with entrance and exits on both sides and ample storage. Situated in a private and gated enclave in East Windermere with just 32 homesites, offering the most sought-after schools and easy access to SR 408, downtown Orlando, I-4, Mall at Millenia, Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, and all of Central Florida’s famed attractions.
