One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Luxury Lakefront Living in Downtown Windermere. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to live on the pristine shores of Lake Bessie, just moments from charming Downtown Windermere. Perfectly positioned in one of Central Florida’s most desirable communities, this lakefront retreat offers unbeatable views, unmatched privacy, and the freedom of no HOA restrictions. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed onto a spacious screened front porch—ideal for morning coffee or evening breezes off the lake. Inside, the open floor plan blends comfort and style, featuring a chef’s kitchen with stainless steel appliances, natural gas range, breakfast bar, and custom cabinetry. The dining room, warmed by a cozy fireplace, overlooks a tranquil koi pond with a rock waterfall, while sunlit living spaces showcase water views from nearly every angle. Two ensuite bedrooms are located on the main floor, while the upstairs primary suite boasts panoramic views of Lake Bessie and the golf course beyond, a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, and a generous walk-in closet. Outside, enjoy lake life at its finest—trade stories by the firepit, fish or paddleboard from your shoreline, or simply take in the peaceful scenery. Recent updates within the last five years include a 50-year architectural roof, Carrier AC units, water softener, new flooring, drain field, and fresh interior and exterior paint. This property also provides access to the Lake Butler public dock and nearby tennis courts for even more recreational options. Zoned for well-regarded public schools, Windermere is also known for its golf cart–friendly streets, weekly farmers markets, monthly food truck nights, festive events, and easy access to parks, playgrounds, and the Butler Chain of Lakes.
