Live in a park in the middle of a city. "The Springs" is an exclusive guard gated community with stables, tennis courts, community pool, fitness center, basketball courts, and clubhouse. The city of Longwood is within easy commuting distance of downtown Orlando and is just a short drive to Daytona Beach or the theme parks. The centerpiece of this paradise is Sanlando Spring, which pumps thousands of gallons of aquifer-purified water daily into a natural pool. The best view in the neighborhood is from the back porch of this home as you look across the Little Wekiva River. Foxes, otters, bobcats, deer, raccoons, oppossums, armadillos, and even an occasional alligator can be found here. Birds of all descriptions flock to the beauty of the spring, including the rare Wood Stork, Great Blue Herons, owls, egrets, hawks, etc. Fish and reptile life is also abundant. The house itself is a contemporary 2,077 square foot chalet with three bedrooms (2 masters) and two and one half baths. An open floor plan enhances the casual elegance of the home. Interior features include a custom island kitchen with solid wood cabinets and corian and tile countertops, saltillo tile and berber carpet throughout, with knotty pine ceilings and exposed wood beams in the great room and master bedroom. There is a three sided gas fireplace and surround sound in the great room and a tremendous wall of windows that affords optimal viewing of the spring area. A spiral staircase leads to a small artist's loft with skylights. Custom window treatments adorn much of the house. 5 ceiling fans, recessed and track lighting provide drama and comfort. The huge master bedroom includes giant his and hers walk in closets, oversized tub with separate shower and water closet, double sink vanity, and more skylights. The second master, like the rest of the house, features vaulted ceilings. The bath includes a custom tile design and a glass block window. There are numerous custom decorator touches like mirrored walls and upgraded kitchen and bath fixtures. Outside, there is a custom stained glass oak entry door and side light. The home also features a water softener and solar hot water. Extensive landscaping is enhanced by outdoor mood lighting. An automatic sprinkler system helps maintain the small garden areas. An elevated concrete porch with built in hot tub provides an area for casual relaxation. Other bonuses include an oversized garage with built in closets and automatic garage door opener. A wrought iron entry gate leads you to a small courtyard at the front door. This beautiful home is our pride and joy. Our family just got bigger so we are forced to move.
