Don’t miss the opportunity to own this Asian-inspired contemporary masterpiece that set the stage for the “Green” initiative and was the first LEED Silver certified home in the State of Florida.
Featured in Orlando Magazine, the Sentinel and numerous industry trade shows and exhibits, this 2825 SF open plan split design main house and DETACHED 425 SF GUEST HOUSE bring efficiency and practicality together with an overall “vibe” that is at the same time sophisticated yet comfortable. The split-bedroom open floor plan with multiple living spaces is idea for growing families and for entertaining groups of all sizes. Custom design features run throughout this house and make it a true conversation piece for your guests. 14 foot ceilings, custom-designed lighting, modern cherry wood cabinetry with pop-up electrical fixtures, and myriad other clever design details exhibit attention to detail and simplified living at every turn.
The main living room features expansive use of floor-to-ceiling impact resistant glass, bringing in natural sunlight from all directions. This area flows beautifully into the open dining space and kitchen, and then into a separate living space that is sized perfectly for a den, project space, or even your pool table. Double doors lead out to the patio, where a built-in overhead hood will draw grill smoke away from your guests as they relax, bug-free, screened0-in patio.
The master bedroom en-suite and home office occupy their own side of the residence. European built-ins, a large glass-walled shower, and an overflow tub with dramatic waterfall feature all make this an absolute one-of-a-kind experience.
From living area to garage, pass through a convenient mudroom featuring fold-away shoe bins. The separate laundry doubles as the safe room, ready and waiting for your supplies to fully equip yourself for the worst storm mother nature has to offer. With solid 6" reinforced wll construction, coupled with the built-in, gas-fired automatic generator, your biggest problem will be feeding the guests who arrive for the hurricane party.
The two and a half car garage has a built in work bench, and a third bay door that opens to reveal a serene low-maintenance Japanese garden, with rock "river" and synthetic green turf. Out back is the stand-alone studio guest house featuring a full bath and kitchenette, the perfect accommodation for AirBnB rental guests or multi-generational families
The eco-minded will appreciate the energy and water saving features of the home, including solar water heating, solar power generation and a high-efficiency air conditioner. The economically-minded will appreciate dramatically lower utility costs, as your own photovoltaic solar power plant supplements electricity consumption when you need it, and pumps power back into the grid (and money into your pocket) when you don't.
Convenient to the 408 (East-West Expressway) and I-4, less than 5 minutes to the shopping and dining establishments of the Lake Eola and Thornton Park districts, as well as Baldwin Park, this central location is disguised in the hidden gem of the Lake Como neighborhood. Don't miss the opportunity to make this masterpiece your home. Sellers have this priced to sell. Call today for your private showing.
