Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in Seminole County's premier 24-hour guard-gated golf community of Alaqua. Newly-renovated, remodeled, and reimagined, this perfectly positioned estate is nestled on arguably the best homesite in Alaqua with sweeping views of golf, water, and the Wekiva Preserve throughout. Painstakingly updated to the very highest level, no stone has been unturned nor detail overlooked in the pursuit of absolute perfection. Rest assured, not only were the cosmetics addressed: NEW TILE ROOF(2024), all 4 HVAC units replaced(2022), and both water heaters replaced with commercial units(2022). Discover this custom-built home by Dave Brewer complete with 7 full and 1 half remodeled baths, 5 expansive bedrooms(each with a walk-in closet and ensuite bath), with breathtaking custom finishes throughout. Arrive via a fully brick-paver driveway to something incredibly special. Upon entry it is immediately recognized by all guests just how well-done this one-of-a-kind home has been cared for. Soaring ceilings in the grand foyer are blanketed in warm natural light, instantly exuding a positive energy. The living room and dining room both showcase captivating water, golf, and preserve views, and lead into the dramatic wet bar before the grand unveiling of a kitchen designed, decorated and curated for only the most discerning. Honed marble countertops, Thermador six-burner WITH induction cooktop, 3 ovens, Dacor warming drawer, and seemingly endless refrigerated and freezer space bookend the myriad of upgrades to the enthusiast-level kitchen. The baker of the family will be impressed with a separate kitchen to the side with its own dishwasher and refrigerator, while wine enthusiasts will appreciate the cellar with Sub Zero refrigerator for displaying those prized bottles. The primary suite is truly a marvel in and of itself, boasting enchanting views of your very own French garden, the sparkling pool, shimmering lake, and the incredibly manicured golf course. Situated privately, the primary suite features TWO full baths; each with its own walk-in closet for unbelievable storage for everyone. The family room's fully pocketing corner sliding doors completely disappear, letting the indoor flow right outside to the expansive covered lanai with travertine pavers presiding over the oversized pool and spa. Form follows functionality with two laundry rooms, each with copious storage, along with a massive overflow pantry space boasting more refrigerated and freezer spaces. On the second level, discover 3 oversized bedrooms, each with renovated ensuite baths, and a lounge area ideal for gathering. The second-level balcony dazzles family and guests alike with its sheer size and jaw-dropping vistas. Attention to detail is evident: from impeccable grounds outside to endless upgrades inside, estates like this don't come along but once in a great while. All this with the conveniences of world-class golf, shopping, restaurants, great schools, business parks, and highways at your fingertips. This property may be under audio/visual surveillance.

How insights can help you

Interest rate

If the seller has a low interest rate, they may be tempted to rent the property out if they can't get the price they have in mind.

Motivation

If the seller already got a job in a different city, they may feel pressure to sell quickly to free up cash for a new home.

Equity

If the seller stands to receive a large amount of cash when they sell the property, they might be willing to negotiate on the offer price.
