Welcome to 50 Forest Street in picturesque Downtown Windermere, situated on arguably one of the best water-front lots on the Butler Chain. This one-of-a-kind location is full of live oak trees on three adjoining lots creating unparalleled 180-degree postcard views of Wauseon Bay. The sprawling one-story 7,300 square foot home underwent a complete remodel that was completed in 2023 where it was taken down to the studs and rebuilt with zero expenses spared. The result is a coastal-chic design including new tongue and groove ceilings with distressed beams, new wood/gas burning fireplace and new pool among numerous other upgrades. The grounds are incredible and deliver a true embracement of the Florida lifestyle. Hop on your boat and explore the Butler Chain of Lakes, play on your sand beach, relax poolside, utilize the new summer kitchen and pizza oven, relax with a drink by the outdoor fireplace and enjoy the beautiful sunsets over the lake or practice your short game on your own new putting green. New metal roof and commercial gutters, new saltwater pool & spa, new boat dock with 2 covered slips and 2nd story party deck, all new Sierra Pacific windows and doors. The all-new dream kitchen is the heart of this home and a true showstopper with Kingdom Custom Cabinetry, Thermador appliances, Waterstone unlacquered brass faucets and hardware and hidden custom coffee bar. Media room with projector screen and automatic blinds creates the perfect place for movie nights while utilizing the custom wet-bar with wine fridge and refrigerator drawers. Master suite includes an enormous bedroom with reading nook, grand bathroom and two walk-in custom closets. C4 system installed for the smart home technology you would expect. TESLA SOLAR PANELS cut deep into the electric bill. Natural Gas Genrac Generator for additional peace of mind. A SEPARATE DETACHED 1 bedroom, 1 bath GUEST HOUSE with its own patio overlooking the lake is just another unique and amazing feature of this estate. Could be an ideal in-law suite, office, gym or residence for live in nanny. Plenty of parking with 4 car garage and several paved parking pads on property. NO HOA and in the heart of the Town of Windermere, delivering the convenience and quality of life that makes it one of the most desired places to call home in Central Florida. Located minutes from Sand Lakes famed restaurant row, Disney, Universal Studios, International Drive and all the major expressways. For those not aware, the Butler Chain of Lakes is a 5,000-acre chain of freshwater lakes consisting of 13 canal connected lakes spanning 3 entire zip codes. 50 Forest is on Wauseon Bay of Lake Butler, one of the most sought-after areas of the chain. Hop on your boat anytime and be immediately on the best lake in the chain... delivering the best arena for water sports and championship bass fishing in the area. Sought after K-12 school district and several private school campuses in every direction. Opportunities like this do not come around often, there is no other like it!
