As of September 2025

Experience the pinnacle of luxury living in this private waterfront estate on North Crystal Lake. Perfectly positioned on a secluded cul-de-sac within the prestigious Garden Grove community, this single-level residence blends timeless elegance with resort-style amenities on more than half an acre of lushly landscaped grounds.

From the moment you enter, every detail speaks of refinement. Expansive living spaces are adorned with soaring ceilings, designer finishes, and a statement gas fireplace. The gourmet chef’s kitchen is a showpiece with sleek stone counters, a grand center island, premium appliances, and custom cabinetry designed for both function and beauty. The primary suite offers a sanctuary of comfort, with serene lake views, a spa-inspired en suite bath, and an expansive walk-in closet.

The outdoors redefine luxury. A sprawling screened lanai encompasses a heated pool and spa with sparkling finishes, complemented by a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, cabana, and multiple entertaining spaces. Mature landscaping, bamboo accents, and dramatic lighting create a sense of exclusivity and privacy reminiscent of a five-star resort.

Additional highlights include a 3-car side-entry garage, oversized motor court, and the convenience of no HOA or CDD. Zoned to highly acclaimed Steinbrenner High School, this estate embodies an unmatched lifestyle where elegance, tranquility, and grandeur converge.
