The historic town of Windermere has been completely refurbished and many local functions from wedding to social functions take place in its turn of the century interiors. You will still find many streets in the downtown area that are paved with dirt and pine straw. A few small businesses form the downtown area and this is the way the residents would like to keep it. The newest residential communities built on the towns doorstep are some of the most expensive in the country. They are the homes to many movie stars, national sports figures, large corporation CEOs and foreign dignitaries. The town council has restricted growth and commercialism so that Windermere can remain the little Florida citrus town amid the beautiful chain of lakes.

Set behind the gates of Windermere Club, this extraordinary lakefront estate presents a rare opportunity to experience refined luxury on the shores of Lake Crescent. Situated on a pristine one-acre homesite, this custom-built residence was thoughtfully crafted in 2015 to blend contemporary sophistication with timeless architectural elegance. Fresh exterior and interior paint enhance the home's striking architectural presence and timeless appeal. Encompassing nearly 9,000 square feet of impeccably designed living space, the home features seven bedrooms, seven full baths, and one half bath, offering an exceptional balance of grandeur and comfort. Soaring 12-foot ceilings on the main level, 10-foot ceilings upstairs, and elegant eight-foot doors enhance the home's impressive architectural scale.

The dramatic great room showcases polished travertine flooring, designer lighting fixtures, and stunning vistas at every turn.

Adjacent gathering spaces include an elegant dining room and a welcoming family room.

An automated mosquito misting system enhances year-round enjoyment of the outdoor spaces. The residence offers first-floor and second-floor primary suites, four additional en-suite guest bedrooms, a private office, theater room, sophisticated bar, and spacious balconies that capture spectacular sunrise views across the lake. The luxurious primary bath offers a steam room in the shower, creating a spa-inspired retreat within the comfort of home.
