A rare opportunity to own a truly custom European-style villa in one of Heathrow's most established enclaves. Tucked away on a private cul-de-sac, this exceptional European-style villa offers a rare blend of architectural character and maintenance-free luxury, an ideal retreat for those seeking a refined primary residence or elegant second home. Perfectly positioned on the 5th hole with sweeping golf course and pond views, the home welcomes you through a dramatic courtyard entry featuring a gas fireplace and tranquil koi pond with waterfall. Through the glass french doors you are greeted with living space filled with natural light and enhanced by travertine flooring, soaring 10-foot ceilings, custom millwork, hand-painted accent walls, and timeless details. Recent improvements include freshly painted interior, new designer lighting throughout, and newly cleaned carpeting, creating a bright, move-in-ready living environment. Designed for effortless, comfortable living, the residence includes elevator access to the second floor, two gas fireplaces, french doors throughout, and an abundance of built-in storage. The chef's kitchen is both refined and functional, featuring a Dacor 5-burner gas range, Thermador professional wall oven and warming drawer, Café two-drawer dishwasher, granite countertops, custom cabinetry,  walk-in pantry, and seamless flow for entertaining. The upstairs primary suite serves as a private sanctuary with panoramic golf views, sitting area or office, private balcony, tray ceiling, custom walk-in closet, and spa-inspired bath with jetted tub and oversized shower. An additional upstairs bedroom offers ensuite bath, sitting room and private balcony, while a downstairs ensuite bedroom provides flexibility for guests. A separate private in-law suite, ideal as a guest retreat, artist studio, or entertainment zone features its own entrance, ensuite bath, abundant natural light, and storage. Built for peace of mind, the home includes a Generac whole-home generator, hurricane/safe room with cement ceiling and cement-filled block walls, dual climate-controlled A/C zones, central vacuum system, enhanced attic insulation, and a brand-new hot water heater. A whole-home water filtration system and softener system provide clean, high-quality water throughout the home. Lawn care is included in the HOA, allowing for low-maintenance living. Outdoor living is equally serene, with a covered garden patio overlooking the fairway, perfect for morning coffee, evening wine. The stone façade, carriage-style garage door, brick paver drive, and landscape lighting complete the home's estate-like presence. Heathrow is a one-of-a-kind, guard-gated community with beautiful tree-lined streets, scenic neighborhoods, and exceptional country club lifestyle. Residents enjoy 24-hour security, an 18-hole Ron Garl–designed championship golf course, two clubhouses with dining and social spaces, tennis courts, fitness center, pool, walking paths, playground, baseball and soccer fields, basketball courts, parks, and green spaces. Ideally located within a short walk or golf-cart ride to the country club, with convenient access to top-rated Seminole County schools, shopping, dining, and major roadways. Homes of this caliber, offering elevator access, private in-law accommodation, golf-front views, and maintenance-free living rarely come to market. This is a uniquely irreplaceable opportunity within one of Central Florida's most established gated communities!
