Built by Meridian Homes in 2023, this newer construction, five-bedroom, five full- and two half-bath residence combines timeless coastal architecture with a fresh, modern sensibility. Designed by Lauren Ayers Interiors, every detail of this home exudes style, sophistication and livable refinement. A charming façade and manicured landscaping create picturesque curb appeal, welcoming you into a beautifully curated interior featuring wide-plank hardwood floors, custom cabinetry by Monarch Kitchens & Baths and designer finishes throughout. A light-filled office with a wood-paneled accent wall and walk-in closet sits in front of the home, offering a space for work or study. The spacious kitchen is a chef’s dream, anchored by a large center island with seating, Wolf range, GE Café double oven/microwave, and undercounter beverage fridge, and opens seamlessly to the inviting living room with gas fireplace and custom built-ins. The dining area, adorned with a Rifle Paper Co. accent wall, features sliding glass doors that open to the covered lanai, extending the living space outdoors. The private primary suite offers direct access to the lanai, a large walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath with an oversized glass shower. A guest suite with en-suite bath is also on the first floor, along with a powder bath and spacious laundry room. Upstairs, a family/bonus room provides flexibility for a media space, study area or playroom. Three additional bedroom suites, each with private en-suite baths and generous closets, complete the second floor. The covered lanai serves as an elegant outdoor retreat overlooking the heated saltwater pool and spa. The detached two-car garage has been thoughtfully extended to include a fully equipped summer kitchen with built-in grill, vent hood, sink, undercounter fridge, pool bath and outdoor shower area. The driveway with automatic gate adds privacy and convenience. Additional highlights include custom wood shutters on all windows, built-in surround sound and whole-house network, and floor-to-ceiling tile in every bath. A short distance to Lakemont Elementary and just minutes from Park Avenue and downtown Winter Park, this home offers an unmatched combination of design, comfort and sophistication, near the best dining, shopping and recreation Central Florida has to offer.
