Waterside Living. Behind the gates of Island Club in prestigious Lake Mary/Heathrow, Casa del Lago occupies the finest lakefront setting in this private enclave. This custom Mediterranean estate pairs sweeping views of The Lake with designer interiors. The neighborhood is serene and quiet, yet minutes from major thoroughfares and less than an hour from Orlando, Disney, and Daytona Beach. The home makes its first impression before you reach the door. A bougainvillea-draped stone archway and beautiful fountain frame the entry. Beyond the iron front door, a soaring rotunda foyer opens directly into the gathering room, where floor-to-ceiling glass frames The Lake beyond. The main level is made for entertaining, with an elegant formal dining room, a butler’s pantry and wet bar, and a chef’s kitchen appointed with a Wolf gas cooktop and wall oven, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a Kitchen-Aid dishwasher, all cabinetry is freshly painted in a soft, warm gray. Rich moldings, imported granite, and a blend of porcelain and wood flooring carry that quality throughout, and the entire home has just been repainted from top to bottom. Upstairs, the primary suite is the showpiece. French doors open onto a private balcony suspended directly over the water, an ideal spot for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. The spa bath continues the retreat with a jetted soaking tub, dual vanities, and rich wood cabinetry. Three additional bedrooms each have a private en-suite bath and walk-in closet, all finished in brand-new luxury carpet, with updated lighting and sconces refreshing every bathroom. The gas-heated pool, with color-changing LED lights, is framed by the same lake views that define the home: a private resort for entertaining or quiet evenings by the water. Beneath its beauty, Casa del Lago has been thoughtfully renewed. Recent enhancements include a new tile roof, all-new mechanicals, dual A/C systems, two Level 2 EV charging stations, a new LG washer and dryer, an updated pool system, and an upgraded sound system that carries music through the main living spaces and outdoors. The home is offered move-in ready and fully furnished. All interior furniture, televisions, and artwork convey (small personal accessories excluded). The Heathrow Legacy Club, with memberships available, is just two miles away. More than a home on The Lake, Casa del Lago is a gated retreat with the finest view on the water, and a lifestyle few properties can match.
