A rare Celebration Main Village estate pool home! This is the home that Walt Disney himself would love. This Celebration, Florida estate pool home on a corner lot has been brilliantly renovated by a famous best-selling author and his wife. The spectacular five bedroom, five bath home offers the most popular Celebration search criteria: Main Village, corner lot location, first floor primary bedroom, a captivating custom pool, open floor plan, office/library, double front porches, and a private-entrance apartment/guest suite above a three-car garage. This magnificent property is only a few blocks to downtown restaurants, Starbucks, the post office, schools, lakes, parks, tennis courts, basketball courts and miles of nature trails. Sycamore Street is the original and iconic Disney-imagineered street in Celebration. It’s the only street lined with sycamore trees, giving a seasonal peek of leaf color change to be enjoyed from your double front porches. Downstairs, this unique home features a custom built-in library/office with an historic 1800’s fireplace mantel and French doors. Gaze upon the serene natural southern landscaping and saltwater pool from the living room while sitting beside the fireplace adorned by a circa-1850 natural wood mantel. The oversized primary bedroom provides views and direct access to your backyard and pool. The en-suite bathroom with soaking, jetted tub leads to the custom built-in closet. The dining room surrounds you with a view of this corner lot’s majestic oak trees as though you’re dining in a treehouse. The updated light and bright kitchen, the heart of this home’s open floor plan, features an oversized center island, new appliances, custom crafted brass hardware and granite countertops. It opens onto the breakfast area and family room that overlooks the one-of-a-kind backyard and pool.Upstairs an oversized loft is reminiscent of a scene from Walt’s office while down the hall, the Alice in Wonderland bedroom joins two other bedrooms to make this home magical for guests and family. Throughout the home, upgraded double-pane Pella windows add energy efficiency and assure you of the quiet serenity you deserve. In 2022, an over $200,000 backyard makeover was completed. Designed around the majestic oak tree that’s this home’s “tree of life” a private oasis awaits. Mature trees were installed for immediate privacy. Natural, southern landscape materials encompass the custom designed saltwater pool that features an oversized tanning shelf, a hidden Mickey, bench seating and may be heated or cooled automatically based on your desired temperature. Enjoy those beautiful Florida sunsets while gathered around the gas fire pit or cooking on the outdoor gas grill featuring both a grill and a flattop cooking surface. Landscape lighting and bubbling ponds were strategically placed to create ambience and to surround you in serenity at night. Above the three-car garage, a one-bedroom apartment features a living area, breakfast nook, a full bath and full kitchen with island. Use this as a guest suite or it can bring approximately $1,850 a month in rental income. This incredible property is located only five miles from Walt Disney World, but you’ll feel like you’re in a world of your own when you call this home. Call now for an appointment and experience the joy of what life in Celebration has to offer. This home won’t last long.
