About this home
The resort-style, waterfront homeownership dream you keep having might actually come true! Set on nearly an acre of lush, tropical grounds, this extraordinary lakefront home is designed to transport you to a relaxed mind-set. A rare pristine sandy beach frames the water’s edge, while swaying palms and curated landscaping create a Zen atmosphere reminiscent of an island escape—yet you’re just minutes from the heart of downtown Orlando, the medical district, vibrant shopping & dining and to Orlandos' world-famous attractions! The showstopping infinity-edge pool appears to melt seamlessly into the lake beyond, creating a breathtaking visual experience from the covered lanai—your front-row seat to golden hour, nightly. Whether hosting sunset soirées, enjoying quiet mornings with coffee in hand, or unwinding with evening cocktails as the sky transforms, every moment here feels intentional… and indulgent. Inside, the home is equally refined, with meticulous care and thoughtful upgrades throughout, offering both comfort and peace of mind. From major system updates to the most minute detail, every design choice has been considered to support effortless living. This home is "dressed to impress" and no finish went unnoticed. The fresh open space downstairs, with soaring ceilings, will be the perfect backdrop for all of your entertaining and family gatherings. NO DOUBT, everyone is going to want to visit & gather in this sumptuous setting! The Kitchen comes equipped with every bell & whistle, including a top-of-the-line appliance package, a prep Island and an elongated breakfast bar of cool marble, overlooking the sitting area/lounge with views of the backyard oasis. The upstairs Primary Suite has a rear balcony overlooking your tropical escape, spectacular pool and the shimmering lake beyond. The primary bath is going to blow you away, with gleaming white tile flooring, massive walk-in closet with custom built-ins, a separate soaking tub beneath an over-sized picture window, double vanities and a separate water closet. Just outside the primary Suite is a compact office and a large open loft area. Down the hall you'll find two additional bedrooms & a Jack 'n Jill bathroom. There is even a bonus Suite downstairs with a full bathroom which could double as a downstairs M-I-L Suite, playroom, home-school space or Media Room...the possibilities are endless! Perfectly positioned in Seminole County and zoned for highly sought-after Lake Brantley schools, this one-of-a-kind property offers the rare combination of resort-style serenity and everyday convenience—with I-4 just minutes away! This isn’t just a home.... it’s a lifestyle, where the soundtrack is softer, the sunsets are richer, and the pace of life slows to something truly special. Your Luxury, waterfront dream home awaits, so..."if you like Pina Coladas, write to me & ESCAPE"...
Local Insight
At $301/sqft on a nearly acre waterfront lot with no HOA, this 2002 home is priced competitively for the Apopka market, but you're buying into a transitional city—still anchored by working nurseries and agricultural land—that's growing fast and may not stay quiet or rural for long. The pool and lake access are genuine lifestyle assets, though the 22-year-old construction means you'll want a solid inspection on the mechanical and structural systems before committing. Location-wise, you're suburban-adjacent to Orlando but not yet downtown commutable, so factor in your actual daily drive and whether you're genuinely comfortable with Apopka's ongoing growth trajectory.
