Built with the finest materials and meticulous attention to detail, this remarkable residence was created to endure for generations. Encompassing over 12,000 square feet of air-conditioned living space and more than 17,000 square feet under roof, the estate rests on 2.5 private, park-like acres, offering a peaceful retreat that feels worlds away—yet remains moments from Central Florida’s most sought-after destinations. The impressive three-story main residence is designed for both refined living and grand-scale entertaining. Highlights include eight bedrooms, six and a half baths, an elevator, private cinema, poker room, study/library, and a 590-bottle, climate-controlled wine cellar. Towering ceilings, expansive windows, and travertine flooring create a sense of openness and elegance throughout, while custom craftsmanship is showcased in the solid 8-foot Brazilian mahogany doors and intricate wood detailing. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen features granite countertops, dual islands, premium appliances, and a butler’s pantry, flowing seamlessly into a spectacular family room with 24-foot ceilings and dramatic floor-to-ceiling glass. A covered porte-cochere introduces a stunning stained-glass entry, opening to a sun-filled foyer flanked by formal living and dining spaces. The primary suite is a luxurious sanctuary, complete with a fireplace, expansive walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath offering dual vanities, an oversized soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. The second level is dedicated to leisure and relaxation, featuring a theater, library, open loft, game area with wet bar, and a 1,000+ square foot terrace with sweeping views of the estate. The third level adds additional guest bedrooms, a generous lounge, and another wet bar—ideal for hosting overnight visitors. Outdoor living rivals that of a private resort, with a custom pool and spa enhanced by app-controlled lighting and water features. A sprawling 4,000 square foot patio, cabana bath, and fully equipped outdoor kitchen create the perfect backdrop for gatherings large or small, with ample room to add a tennis court, basketball court, or putting green. Automotive enthusiasts will appreciate the expansive motor court, detached six-car garage (with capacity for up to twelve vehicles using lifts), and additional space for boats or RVs. Above the garage, a beautifully appointed two-bedroom guest residence offers a full kitchen, fireplace, and multiple living areas, connected to the main home by a private bridge. Ideally situated near prestigious country clubs, Lake Sylvan Park, upscale dining, and world-renowned attractions, Painted Dreams stands as one of the most exceptional luxury estates in the Orlando area—a truly rare offering for the discerning buyer.
