Set on more than half an acre with tranquil water views and exceptional privacy, this beautifully renovated residence offers a lifestyle that’s increasingly difficult to find. Spend weekends boating on the Butler Chain of Lakes, enjoying a match of tennis or pickleball, or unwinding by your private pool as peaceful water views become the backdrop to everyday life. Just a golf cart ride from downtown Windermere’s beloved Farmers Market, waterfront parks, dining, and community events—and with Windermere Elementary and many of Central Florida’s premier public and private schools nearby—this is a home that blends convenience with an unmatched sense of place. Inside, thoughtfully reimagined interiors pair contemporary finishes with effortless livability, creating a turnkey home where the lifestyle is every bit as compelling as the home itself. Residents of The Willows enjoy an outstanding lifestyle with neighborhood amenities including walking trails, a playground, volleyball, basketball, tennis, and pickleball courts. Windermere Elementary is within walking distance and Windermere High School and many premier private schools close by. Extensively renovated with today's most sought after finishes and design elements and designed for both everyday living and elegant entertaining, the spacious floor plan features four bedrooms and three baths.

A grand dining room with soaring 12-foot vaulted ceilings creates a sophisticated setting for gatherings, while the inviting living room showcases beautiful outdoor vistas. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen flows seamlessly into the breakfast nook and family room, creating an open and welcoming space that extends to the covered lanai and pool area. Whether hosting guests or enjoying a quiet evening at home, the indoor/outdoor connection embodies the very best of Florida living. The thoughtfully designed split bedroom layout provides privacy and functionality, with two secondary bedrooms with walk-in closets, charming window seats with built-in storage are connected by a Jack and Jill bath. A dedicated laundry room, and abundant storage throughout add to the home's exceptional livability. Additional highlights include a central vacuum system, three-car side-entry garage, and circular driveway with ample guest parking.
