Under contract-accepting backup offers. Set on a private, tree-canopied lot with a courtyard-style layout, pool, spa, waterfall, and preserve views, this custom home offers one of the most distinctive living experiences in the community. The Springs is a guard gated community located within Central Florida's original tourist attraction, the pristine Sanlando Springs. Residents enjoy access to a host of amenities including this private spring with crystal clear water, numerous rivers, hiking trails, tennis and pickleball courts, private community, large clubhouse and community venue, horse stables, and more, all located within 15 minutes of Downtown Orlando and 30 minutes to the theme parks! As you approach the home you’ll find a canopied driveway lined with towering trees that leads to a home dressed in warm cream siding with stone accents and a distinctive architectural roofline that speaks to the home’s custom architectural character. Step onto the brick-paved covered front patio with cedar ceiling, coach lighting, and a double front door with sidelights, and you already feel the warmth of this home before you've crossed the threshold. Inside, you’re greeted by one of the home's most captivating features, the private interior courtyard. This skylit stone-paved atrium is wrapped on all sides by the home itself, lush with tropical plantings and accessible from multiple rooms, it functions as an outdoor sanctuary that is completely your own. The formal living room is a beautiful place to gather with friends and family, enjoy quiet conversation, or settle in with a good book and cup of coffee beneath exposed timber beams and natural wood-look flooring. Adjacent, the light-filled dining room elevates holidays and celebrations with space for up to 12 guests, walls with panel molding, custom built-ins, crown molding, and a designer chandelier. The kitchen delivers in both form and function: white shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, an extra large center island, stainless steel appliances, two pantries, and subway tile backsplash with ribbon tile inlay, all sit beneath a continuation of the signature vaulted ceiling, soaring to incredible heights with panoramic sliders and large transom windows offering stunning views of the backyard patio, pool, and nature preserve. Deer and other stunning Florida wildlife can regularly be seen grazing or traversing outside the fence making this home a truly unique escape. The primary suite is resort-caliber: a spa bath featuring a freestanding soaking tub, oversized glass walk-in shower with designer tile banding, double vanity with marble tops, and direct access to a custom walk-in closet with full built-in shelving, shoe storage, and hardwood floors, all with direct access to a remarkably private outdoor balcony with covered seating and sprawling backyard views. Secondary bedrooms are generously sized with hardwood floors, natural light, and extraordinary closet space. A dedicated laundry room and multiple well-appointed bathrooms round out the interior. Out back, the property fully delivers on its promise of offering a relaxed Florida lifestyle with a resort-style freeform pool, an integrated spa, a dramatic natural stone waterfall feature, and multiple sun steps, all wrapped in a fully fenced, tree-canopied backyard that feels miles away from everything. This is Florida living at its finest.
