Presenting a rare opportunity to own one of Vista Lakes’ most distinguished residences—an expansive single-story luxury home featuring a three-car garage, an upstairs bonus room, and captivating conservation view. Located within the community’s most exclusive gated neighborhood, this home exemplifies architectural sophistication, exceptional craftsmanship, and an unrivaled location. If convenience and comfort are what you seek, look no further. Enjoy the luxury of walking to Vista Lakes’ Publix, a gas station, doctors’ offices, local restaurants, Urgent Care, pharmacy and more—all just steps away. Designed with versatility in mind, this residence offers six bedrooms, including a multi-purpose sixth room perfect as an in-law suite, media lounge, game room, or private guest retreat. Maintained by its original owner, the home radiates both warmth and refinement. The grand extended foyer creates a striking first impression, drawing the eye toward panoramic views of the resort-style pool deck and serene conservation beyond. The inviting kitchen is beautifully appointed for both intimate family meals and grand-scale entertaining, featuring a central island, modern breakfast bar, and generous dining area—all seamlessly connected to the home’s open living spaces. A thoughtfully designed three-way split floor plan ensures privacy for the primary suite, which is enhanced by a charming window retreat overlooking the tranquil outdoors, along with a private connection to the fourth bedroom, currently used as a home office but offering flexibility as a nursery, study, or fitness space. The spa-inspired primary bath impresses with dual vanities and refined finishes. The impressive family room, nearly 30 feet in length, is anchored by a soft-stone frame gas fireplace, creating an elegant and comfortable focal point. Additional guest suites provide ample space for family and visitors. Sliding glass doors open from all principal living areas onto a spectacular pool terrace equipped with Bose surround sound to set the ambiance. Surrounded by lush, manicured landscaping and fully enclosed for privacy, the outdoor space offers multiple seating and dining areas ideal for year-round enjoyment. Adding to the home’s functionality is a convenient shed for outdoor gardening and machinery storage. Recent upgrades include a new roof and water heater (2024). Residents of Vista Lakes enjoy a wealth of amenities, including a community fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball, dog park, an Olympic-sized heated pool with waterslide, a young-resident splash area, and a vibrant calendar of community events—all within minutes of major highways-417, 408, 528, Orlando International Airport, and a short drive to the Atlantic coastline. Homes of this caliber—combining luxury, privacy, and a premier address—rarely come to market. This exceptional property presents a truly extraordinary opportunity to experience the finest in Florida living. Schedule your private showing today
