Updated professional photography will be added soon to showcase the refreshed exterior and recent improvements.

Rare opportunity to own a custom pool home on .71 acres in the Town of Windermere for under $1 million. Built by renowned luxury builder Richard Watson, this single-story home is situated on an oversized cul-de-sac lot in Willows at Lake Rhea, offering exceptional privacy between homes, mature landscaping, and zoning for Windermere Elementary, Bridgewater Middle, and Windermere High School.

Inside, soaring ceilings, Acacia wood flooring, and abundant natural light complement the open floor plan featuring four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, formal living and dining rooms, and a spacious family room with a wood-burning fireplace. Triple sliding glass doors and French doors create seamless indoor-outdoor living with beautiful views of the custom pool and expansive backyard.

The updated kitchen features granite countertops, soft-close cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, porcelain tile flooring, a stylish backsplash, generous storage, and a bright breakfast nook overlooking the pool. The oversized primary suite offers direct pool access and a renovated spa-inspired bath with a freestanding soaking tub, zero-entry shower, quartz dual vanities, and dual custom walk-in closets.

Outdoor living is equally impressive with a custom pebble-finish pool, spacious screened lanai with a coffered ceiling, outdoor sink and cabinetry, and the newly refreshed pool deck. The oversized homesite offers a rare combination of space and privacy, providing plenty of room to entertain, play, garden, or simply enjoy the peaceful setting.

Residents enjoy tennis and pickleball courts, basketball, a playground, and a neighborhood park. Living in the Town of Windermere also includes access to the Butler Chain of Lakes boat ramp, the weekly farmers market, public library, food truck nights, holiday celebrations, and year-round community events. Adding to the appeal, the Town of Windermere is constructing the Windermere Ward Trail, a new multi-modal pathway that will make it even easier to bike, walk, or golf cart to downtown.

Conveniently located near SR-429, SR-408, Florida's Turnpike, Winter Garden Village, Dr. Phillips, Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, shopping, dining, golf, and everyday conveniences.

To provide additional flexibility for the next owner, the seller is also including a stainless steel commercial-style range hood with extension, which may be installed if desired.

Combining quality Richard Watson construction, an oversized .71-acre homesite, recent updates, and one of the most desirable locations in the Town of Windermere, this move-in-ready home presents an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking privacy, space, and the Windermere lifestyle.
