The expansive 27-foot primary bedroom, offering a rare amount of space and comfort rarely found in similar homes. From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice the classic curb appeal—brick-paved driveway, barrel tile roof, and a lush landscape framing the welcoming entry. Inside, a bright open-concept layout offers seamless flow from the formal dining area to the casual breakfast nook and spacious living room. Custom drapes, ceramic tile flooring in the main areas, and laminate wood floors in the bedrooms give the home a polished, cohesive feel. The kitchen is a true highlight—appointed with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a closet pantry, and a breakfast bar ideal for casual dining. A window over the stove brings in natural light, while a nearby laundry room offers added convenience. Pocketing sliding glass doors lead to a screened-in patio that blends indoor comfort with outdoor charm. Beyond the patio, the fully fenced yard is a private retreat featuring lush greenery, a thoughtfully designed brick-paved path and patio, and a tucked-away fountain surrounded by sculpted shrubs. Whether you’re sipping morning coffee, hosting guests, or enjoying some quiet time, this backyard is both functional and picturesque. The downstairs primary suite is generously sized and includes a walk-in closet and a well-designed ensuite bathroom featuring double vanities, a large soaking tub, private water closet and a walk-in shower. A second downstairs bedroom also includes a private ensuite—ideal for guests or multi-generational needs. Upstairs, a massive bonus room offers flexibility as a third bedroom, media room, or office—with its own full bathroom and three closets for ample storage. The home also includes a single-car garage and a separate two-car garage, allowing for multiple vehicles or additional storage. Just a short stroll from your front door, you’ll find the Belmere clubhouse—complete with an events space, a fitness center, tennis courts, basketball court, community pool, and playground. Belmere Village is known for its serene lakes, scenic walking paths, and strong sense of community—all behind secure gated access. Windermere is prized for its peaceful charm and proximity to it all.
