Elegance and timeless beauty describe this jewel of the lake, a Windermere estate with a Neoclassical southern mansion. Over 2 acres of parklike grounds with 550’ of shoreline leading to Lake Butler surround this 8,000+ sq ft home with 5 beds & 8 baths. Stepping past the soaring columns & into the grand foyer, gleaming wood floors & custom millwork greet guests with a parlor on the left & a spacious formal dining room on the right. Past the elegant main staircase, your eyes are drawn to a wall of French doors in the large family room w/ beautiful vistas of the veranda, heated pool & spas & out toward the glassy waters of Lake Butler, the largest of the Butler Chain of lakes & perfect place for water skiing. Downstairs also has a lovely guest suite, gourmet kitchen w/ double ovens, large gas Thermador cook top, center island & breakfast bar that opens to the spacious breakfast room. A back set of stairs leads to the well-equipped home gym or use as a media room/theatre. The massive master bedroom w/ gas fireplace, cove ceiling & sitting area has 3 sets of French doors leading to an expansive covered balcony overlooking the lake & lush landscaped grounds. The impressive spa-like en-suite includes jetted tub, tiled shower & two large walk-in closets. 2 other bedrooms each with en-suites & a wood paneled study w/ private balcony occupy the 2nd floor.
