This magnificent expression of timeless Mediterranean architecture is truly one-of-a-kind. Enchanting sunrises over Lake Markham caress nearly every room with sparkling water views while twilight entertaining dazzles guests in spectacular fashion. Impressive from every angle, this awe-inspiring design delights from the moment this statement property comes into view. Residing proudly on over four acres, manicured for privacy, and enjoying more than 440 feet of shoreline, the incredible breadth of this property is most evident when viewed from the lake. Set behind the gated entrance into Lake Markham Preserve, one of Seminole County's most exclusive communities, privacy is assured. Visitors find ample parking on the circular driveway while the owners enjoy gated access to the motor court, portico and four car garages. This custom-built estate is a stunning masterpiece designed for entertaining and family living, with the interior flow seamlessly easing into the incredible outdoor spaces including an outdoor kitchen, an alluring pool area, and a tremendous boat house complete with boat and jet ski lifts. Soaring mahogany doors provide the perfect entrance while the grand foyer continues to impress with double staircases to the second floor, flanking the large picture window showcasing the infinity pool and lake beyond. Wood molding and travertine floors accentuate the tall ceilings and emphasize the large proportions of every room. Perfect for large gatherings and entertainment, the gigantic kitchen spoils its chef with double full-size ovens, built-in appliances, a tremendous amount of counter space and a delightful, yet hidden, walk-in pantry. Open to the family room and game room beyond. This is the heart of the home. The primary wing is an oasis of its own, featuring a Himalayan brick-lined bedroom, a dressing room-sized walk-in closet, dual water closets, a walk-in shower, a gym, a steam room enhanced with Himalayan salt bricks, dual vanities and access to a private lanai complete with a sauna with access to the pool area. No indulgence is left unanswered. Enjoy a reading space located adjacent to the private office featuring a private courtyard linked to the primary suite area or stroll upstairs to watch a movie in the theater. Three-bedroom suites reside on the second floor, each with access to balconies. Spanning 8,500 square feet of living space, the main residence is an amazing living space. Located across the breezeway, the guest house offers additional living of 750 square feet, consisting of one bedroom, one bath, a kitchenette, a balcony and a dining space with a fantastic lake view. A tiki hut offers shade from the Florida sun while enjoying competitive fun on the shuffleboard court or basketball court. The oversized four-car garages encompass sufficient space to house six cars without lifts, making for a car enthusiast's dream. In addition to the amazing lifestyle this home brings, a wealth of outdoor activities is available nearby, including golf and country clubs, walking and hiking trails, and easy access to attractions and beaches. Seminole County enjoys top-rated schools, and boutique dining and shopping are just moments away as well as Interstate 4 and the 429/417 beltways leading to all of central Florida.
