Elegant Mediterranean estate, masterfully crafted by Akers Custom Homes and set within the coveted heart of the Vias. Privately tucked behind a gated drive, the approach unfolds to a grand circular motor court framed by lush, manicured grounds spanning over 2 acres with impressive sunset views across Lake Maitland. Every element of the estate is thoughtfully connected by covered walkways, including five garages (three-car and two-car) and 2 motor courts, a detached office or seventh bedroom suite, and a lakeside pool cabana—creating a seamless blend of function, elegance, and architectural harmony in this one-owner Lake Maitland residence…
A dramatic arrival sets the tone as a flowing water feature guides guests along the walkway to the front entry. Inside, the grand foyer opens to a breathtaking gathering room, anchored by soaring two-story windows that frame panoramic lake views, the expansive terrace, and the terraced outdoor space. A dedicated space for a grand piano enhances the home’s capacity for elegant entertainment and memorable gatherings.
The spacious kitchen overlooks the family room and is perfectly positioned alongside a dedicated bar, breakfast room, and dining room. The family room, warmed by a gas fireplace, is filled with natural light and opens through a wall of French doors to the open terrace—blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living. The first-floor primary suite is a serene retreat with French doors to a covered outdoor space, a fireside sitting area wrapped in custom bookshelves, and a spa-inspired bath featuring a large glass shower, soaking tub, expansive walk-in closet, and a versatile flex room ideal for yoga, massage, or expanded wardrobe space. A full guest suite with ensuite bath and walk-in closet is also located on the main level.
Upstairs, a grand mezzanine overlooks the gathering room, offering a dramatic extension of the living areas. French doors open to a front balcony, while the west wing features two bedrooms with a shared private living room and full bath. The east wing hosts two additional bedroom suites, each with walk-in closets and ensuite baths—one enhanced by a private sitting area and access to a spacious rear balcony.
Off the kitchen, a wrought-iron gate leads to the basement level, where a refrigerated wine cellar, theater room, and generous storage space await. Outdoors, the stunning terrace showcases a heated spa, sparkling lakeside pool, expansive gas fire pit, and an extraordinary 700sf pool cabana that offers a wraparound screened porch with summer kitchen, a full bar, gaming area, and full bath—ideal for lakeside entertaining.
Elevated above the water for commanding views and shielded from the main road for complete privacy, this remarkable estate is a true masterpiece—designed for multi-generational living and destined to create lasting memories for generations to come.
