Set on a private conservation lot in the 24-hour guard-gated Buckingham Estates, this beautifully maintained pool home offers 3,768 square feet of living space, five spacious bedrooms, four full bathrooms, a dedicated office, an upstairs loft and an oversized three-car garage—all just minutes from Lake Mary and Heathrow! A stately façade, professionally redesigned landscaping (2025) and an arched double-door entry create an impressive arrival. Inside, the elegant foyer opens to formal living and dining spaces, with tray ceilings and crown molding adding architectural detail. The open kitchen, breakfast nook and family room form the center of the home, providing a spacious and comfortable setting for everyday living and entertaining. The well-appointed kitchen features an oversized island, quartz countertops, 42-inch cabinetry, designer tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances. A customized walk-in pantry with built-in shelving, countertops and drawers provides exceptional storage and additional prep space. The generously sized primary suite offers a private retreat with a custom-designed closet system, soaking tub, separate shower and a dedicated coffee or beverage bar with its own refrigerator. Four additional bedrooms provide ample space and storage, while the first-floor office and upstairs loft with adjoining flex space allow the floor plan to accommodate a home theater, exercise room, or additional office space. This beautiful home can come partially or fully furnished! Outside, the expansive screened lanai overlooks peaceful conservation views and creates a private resort-style setting. The designer pool and spa are surrounded by a travertine patio, lush landscaping and multiple areas for lounging, dining and gathering. The pool was professionally resurfaced, and the surrounding pool area and screen enclosure were updated in 2026, creating a polished outdoor space ready for year-round enjoyment. Additional improvements include a brand-new refrigerator and microwave 2026 and a newer oven, dishwasher, stove and water heater installed 2024! Also, entire exterior of the home was caulked and repainted 2026, a new irrigation control system installed and an oversized three-car garage with custom built-in storage and beautiful epoxy floor (2024).
