“This estate is more than just a luxury home – it’s a sanctuary designed for those who appreciate the finer elements of lakefront living,” said listing agent Harif Hazera of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty.

Built in 2008 and meticulously upgraded with over $250,000 in renovations, the residence includes a brand-new kitchen, updated fireplace, all-new windows and doors, fresh exterior paint, and modernized landscaping.

Refined Interiors and Designer Craftsmanship

A soaring two-story foyer sets the tone upon entry, revealing a refined palette of materials and craftsmanship. At the heart of the main level is a floating 650-gallon saltwater fish tank that visually divides the space while framing unobstructed views of the resort-style pool and Wauseon Bay beyond.

“The attention to detail throughout 801 W 2nd Ave is exceptional,” Hazera told Luxury Houses Magazine. “It’s a designer’s dream that still feels intimate and livable.”

The formal living room is an architectural gem, with sculpted paneled walls, ambient cove lighting, and lake-facing French doors. Steps away, the gourmet kitchen boasts Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, quartz countertops, a custom walk-in pantry with a swinging door, and hand-finished cabinetry that blends timeless design with modern convenience.

Sharing this open space is a warm and inviting family room anchored by a floor-to-ceiling fireplace sheathed in exotic stone. Bespoke wood shelving and hidden lighting elevate the room’s contemporary charm.

Personalized Comfort on Every Floor

Located on the main floor, the newly remodeled primary suite is a private oasis offering tranquil lake views through expansive picture windows. The spa-like en suite bathroom is draped in luxury, featuring a Schonbek Da Vinci chandelier, dual vanities, a soaking tub, and Christopher Guy lighting.

Nearby, a temperature-controlled wine cellar offers storage for connoisseurs, while a full guest suite and a well-appointed laundry room round out the downstairs amenities. The inclusion of a wood-paneled elevator ensures seamless access to the second level.

“The cinema is one of the most unique we’ve seen in Windermere Real Estate,” Hazera added. “It’s more than a home theater – it’s a destination.”

Upstairs, residents will find three generously sized bedrooms – each with private baths and walk-in closets – as well as a second laundry room. A 195-square-foot art installation of patinated copper panels and a staircase with curved glass railings add an avant-garde touch.

Outdoor Luxury and Butler Chain Living

The outdoor living area rivals that of a boutique resort. A summer kitchen, heated spa, expansive pool with lighting, and covered patio spaces ensure year-round enjoyment of Florida’s temperate climate. Glass railings and AstroTurf flooring on the second-floor terrace add a sleek, contemporary edge to the home’s exterior.

The custom dock – complete with a covered lift – makes it easy to embark on an afternoon of boating, paddleboarding, or waterskiing. The Butler Chain of Lakes is one of Florida’s most coveted natural amenities, known for its crystal-clear waters and low boat traffic.

For car collectors, this Windermere real estate includes a three-car, air-conditioned garage with RaceDeck tile flooring and integrated storage. The driveway, framed by lush tropical landscaping, offers ample guest parking.
