Under contract-accepting backup offers. Custom-built in 2009 and set within the exclusive, 53-home community of Braemar in Gotha, this Mediterranean-inspired estate combines elegant design with everyday functionality. Offering five bedrooms and five full bathrooms across 5,025 square feet of air-conditioned living space, the home presents refined craftsmanship and thoughtful detail throughout. Designed primarily for single-level living, the home’s open layout centers around an expansive chef’s kitchen with a six-burner gas cooktop, double ovens, granite counters, custom cabinetry, and a large island with a prep sink. The adjoining family and dining areas flow effortlessly to the screened-in lanai and pool deck, ideal for both quiet relaxation and entertaining. The spacious primary suite features a seating area, dual walk-in closets with built-in storage, a jetted tub, and a walk-in shower with dual shower heads. All main living spaces, including the office and game lounge with a full bar, are located on the first floor. The upper level hosts a private in-law or guest suite, complete with a bedroom, full bath, and separate living area. Half of the oversized four-car garage has been converted into a fully air-conditioned music studio or exercise room—easily adaptable back to a climate-controlled garage for collectible vehicles. Practical upgrades complement the home's luxury finishes, including two brand-new HVAC systems installed in 2025 and a whole-house generator for continuous comfort and peace of mind. Outdoors, a private, screened, and south-facing pool deck offers a sense of seclusion surrounded by mature landscaping on an oversized lot of just under one acre. Architectural details such as crown molding, tray ceilings, and wood or tile floors throughout enhance the home’s timeless appeal. Situated among three scenic lakes, Braemar offers an intimate setting with easy access to major hospitals, shopping, Downtown Orlando, and area attractions. This residence reflects the perfect balance of luxury, versatility, and privacy—an exceptional opportunity in one of Central Florida’s most sought-after communities.
