an extraordinary offering within the guard-gated golf community of heathrow, this approximately 4,600-square-foot residence pairs a fully renovated interior with nearly half an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds, creating a private setting in one of lake mary′s most established luxury communities. inside, six bedrooms and five bathrooms unfold beneath tall ceilings, classic crown molding and a neutral palette filled with natural light. the layout includes a primary suite, a second-floor suite and four additional bedrooms, with spaces currently used as a home gym and private office, providing flexibility to adapt to the next owner′s lifestyle. the home was comprehensively redesigned in 2021 by erica stone interiors, bringing a fresh perspective to its mediterranean architecture while creating interiors that feel warm, luxurious and inviting. distinctive details give the home personality throughout, including a gas fireplace framed by a reclaimed barn wood mantle handcrafted by a local artisan and a pale blue tray ceiling that adds subtle color and character to the living space. outdoor living continues the experience, with the home opening to a private pool surrounded by a limestone deck and beautifully maintained landscaping. set on nearly half an acre, the grounds provide a sense of privacy and space while remaining connected to the lifestyle and amenities of heathrow. additional updates include two new air conditioning units installed in 2020, a new water heater installed in 2024, and, since the 2021 renovation, fresh interior and exterior paint, whole-house water treatment, updated appliances and electrical service expanded to 400 amps to accommodate multiple electric vehicle chargers. adding another dimension to the opportunity, the adjoining approximately 2.5-acre property directly behind the residence is also available for separate purchase (mls #6441899). acquiring both properties would create an extraordinary approximately three-acre estate within the private gates of heathrow, with the additional acreage and second residence situated outside the hoa boundary and therefore free from heathrow hoa restrictions. the combination presents a rare opportunity to enjoy the security and lifestyle of one of central florida′s premier gated golf communities while gaining a level of privacy, land and flexibility virtually impossible to replicate within heathrow.
