About This Property

Welcome to the finest expression of luxury urban living, where Mediterranean elegance meets modern sophistication in a residence worthy of the pages of Architectural Digest. Perfectly positioned on a pristine one-acre, pond-front corner homesite within the exclusive Lake Markham Preserve, this award-winning custom estate showcases a Parade of Homes floor plan crafted by Waterford and offers over 5,000 square feet of impeccably designed living space. A circular driveway and striking transitional exterior create a grand arrival, highlighted by arched windows and an ornate roofline that set this home apart. Solid mahogany leaded glass doors open to a refined foyer where formal living and dining spaces unfold, enhanced by elegant ceiling details, a serving bar, abundant natural light, and sweeping views of the resort-style pool. At the heart of the home lies a stunning circular gourmet kitchen designed for both entertaining and everyday living. A massive ebony working island anchors the space, complemented by exotic granite, glazed cherry custom cabinetry with illuminated glass fronts, decorative backsplash, and a premier Wolf and Sub-Zero appliance package, including a five-burner gas range and ice maker. A fully equipped butler’s pantry adds convenience and sophistication. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the expansive family gathering area, where a cozy fireplace, inset media wall, dramatic ceilings, and walls of windows and doors invite indoor-outdoor living. The luxurious primary suite offers Brazilian hardwood flooring, coffered ceilings with crown molding, a lighted art niche, and a comfortable sitting area. The spa-inspired bath features a Cleopatra soaking tub framed by plantation-shuttered windows, a beautifully designed Roman walk-in shower, and separate vanities, creating a tranquil retreat. A versatile first-floor in-law or guest suite with kitchenette and bar provides exceptional flexibility and may also serve as a bonus or entertainment room. Upstairs, a tri-level design offers four generously sized bedrooms thoughtfully positioned across both wings of the home for privacy and comfort. The laundry room is equally well-appointed, offering abundant cabinetry, folding space, and utility sink for convenience. Outdoor living is equally spectacular, expansive pavered terraces and decorative columns frame a newly designed summer kitchen finished with stacked stone, granite counters, and ample storage. The oversized pool is surrounded by lush, flowering gardens, creating a private resort atmosphere that blends seamlessly with the tranquil waterfront backdrop. Garden enthusiasts will appreciate the meticulously maintained grounds featuring a variety of fruiting and exotic plants, including elderberry, avocado, olive, lemon, lime, and blueberry bushes. Every inch of the landscape reflects pride of ownership. This distinguished custom home has been meticulously maintained by vigilant owners, with over $200,000 invested in upgrades and ongoing care, offering peace of mind and true move-in readiness. Lake Markham Preserve is a guard-gated enclave of just sixty unique residences nestled within the sought-after Markham Woods Corridor. Residents enjoy proximity to a pristine freshwater ski lake, scenic preserves, parks, golf courses, nature trails, sports facilities, charming historic downtown Sanford, and Seminole County’s exemplary schools. This remarkable residence delivers elegance, comfort, and lifestyle beyond expectation.
