Property Description

Welcome to the finest expression of luxury living, where timeless Mediterranean elegance meets modern sophistication in a residence worthy of the pages of Architectural Digest. Perfectly positioned on a pristine one-acre waterfront corner homesite within the exclusive Lake Markham Preserve, this award-winning custom estate captures sweeping views of a broad, glistening pond creating a serene, estate-like setting that feels both private and expansive. Beyond the gates, a quiet, refined community unfolds, where only a limited number of custom residences line peaceful, tree-canopied streets. Yet just minutes away lies an exceptional lifestyle opportunity multiple private country clubs and premier golf courses within a three-mile radius, many accessible by golf cart, offering effortless access to championship golf, tennis, dining, and social experiences for those who choose to indulge. This Parade of Homes award-winning design by Waterford spans over 5,000 square feet of impeccably curated living space. A circular driveway and striking transitional façade create a grand arrival, highlighted by arched windows and an ornate roofline that immediately set the tone for the elegance within. Solid mahogany leaded glass doors welcome you into a refined foyer, where formal living and dining spaces unfold with graceful ceiling details, a serving bar, abundant natural light, and uninterrupted views of the resort-style pool and tranquil water beyond. At the heart of the home, a stunning circular gourmet kitchen is both a showpiece and a gathering place. A massive ebony island anchors the space, surrounded by exotic granite, glazed cherry custom cabinetry with illuminated glass fronts, decorative backsplash, and a premier Wolf and Sub-Zero appliance package, including a five-burner gas range and ice maker. A fully equipped butler's pantry enhances both convenience and sophistication. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the expansive family room, where a fireplace, inset media wall, soaring ceilings, and walls of glass create a seamless connection to the outdoors inviting in natural light and framing peaceful water views at every turn. The luxurious primary suite is a private retreat, featuring Brazilian hardwood flooring, coffered ceilings with crown molding, a lighted art niche, and a comfortable sitting area. The spa-inspired bath offers a Cleopatra soaking tub framed by plantation-shuttered windows, a beautifully appointed Roman walk-in shower, and separate vanities designed for relaxation and renewal. A versatile first-floor guest or in-law suite with kitchenette and bar provides exceptional flexibility, ideal for extended family, entertaining, or a private retreat. Upstairs, a thoughtfully designed tri-level layout offers four additional bedrooms, each positioned for privacy and comfort. Outdoor living is nothing short of extraordinary. Expansive pavered terraces and architectural columns frame a newly designed summer kitchen with stacked stone, granite counters, and ample storage. The oversized pool is enveloped by lush, flowering gardens, creating a true private resort experience, all set against the peaceful backdrop of the wide waterfront setting. For the garden enthusiast, the grounds are a masterpiece, featuring a curated collection of fruiting and exotic plantings, including elderberry, avocado, olive, lemon, lime, and blueberry, each element reflecting meticulous care and pride of ownership.
