Back on the market! Mediterranean Elegance Meets Lakeside Luxury on John's Lake! Welcome to your own private paradise, nestled in the exclusive, small gated waterfront enclave of John's Cove. Step inside this gorgeous, custom-built estate and be instantly captivated by soaring 25-30 foot vaulted ceilings, a dramatic winding staircase, elegant Roman-style arches and columns and abundant natural light. In this spectacular 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath pool home you'll enjoy breathtaking views of the pristine, spring-fed John's Lake from almost every room, delivering all the scenic beauty without the hassle, upkeep, or worries of lakefront maintenance! A formal dining room and formal living room, both with soaring ceilings, adorn each side of the grand staircase. The heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen featuring brand-new stone tile backsplash, granite countertops, abundant wood cabinetry with crown molding, and two islands, both with sinks and bar seating. The chef of the family will appreciate the newer stainless steel appliances, 5-burner gas cooktop with a pot filler and convenient "prep" sink in addition to a separate double-bowl sink. Enjoy sipping coffee while watching the sun rise through the trees, over the water in the cozy breakfast nook, which perfectly frames your gorgeous pool and lake views. The kitchen overlooks the spacious family room anchored by a custom mantel gas fireplace with French doors to the outdoor kitchen. The luxurious first-floor primary suite is a true retreat, offering tranquil views with private access to the outdoor pool patio. It features his-and-her walk-in closets--one uniquely doubling as a highly secure panic/safe room with a steel door and 12-inch concrete walls! The en-suite spa bath features an oversized tub, a circular walk-in shower, and dual vanities. A versatile fourth bedroom downstairs is conveniently located across a full bath, and provides excellent additional living space that can easily transition into a home office, den, or flex room. Upstairs, you will find two generously sized bedrooms--including a private suite with its own full bathroom--both boasting access to a second-floor balcony with sweeping treetop lake views. A splendid column-clad catwalk leads to the stadium-seating theatre room (which can easily serve as an additional home office or den) and a full hallway bath complete the second floor. Step outside to your spectacular outdoor oasis. The expansive screened patio encloses a resort-style heated pool and spa (built in 2017) complete with a sun shelf, fountain, and elegant pavered decking. Entertain with ease at the outdoor summer kitchen featuring a built-in grill, countertop space, and a mini-fridge. This home has a fresh coat of exterior paint, newer AC, new water heater, and direct lake access is just steps away via the private community boat ramp. Water enthusiasts will love the easy access for recreational boating, skiing, tubing, and sport fishing on this sprawling 2,500-acre lake that feels like a chain of lakes. You CAN have it all in this fabulous Florida oasis that feels miles away from it all, yet is just minutes from the Turnpike, SR 429, SR 408, downtown Winter Garden, as well as the best shopping, dining and entertainment in all of Central Florida!
