261 ZACHARY WADE STREET,Winter Garden,Orange,Residential

Few homes make an entrance like this one: renovated, lakefront and minutes from downtown! Welcome to this exquisitely updated 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath pool home with 90 feet of frontage on Lake Apopka, the fourth-largest lake in Florida, in the gated, golf-cart-friendly community of Lakeview Reserve. Expansive open-water views, streaming natural light and a beautifully reimagined interior create an unforgettable first impression. LOCATION: Just 2 miles to historic Downtown Winter Garden, reachable by golf cart, with Plant Street’s restaurants, boutiques, events and the famous Saturday Farmers Market. The West Orange Trail is right outside the community gate, six highly rated golf clubs are within a 5-mile radius, and top-rated elementary and middle schools are less than a mile away. Enjoy easy access to shopping, Florida’s Turnpike, downtown Orlando and the theme parks. RENOVATION: An extensive whole-home renovation brings a polished contemporary feel, with large-format porcelain tile, fresh paint and striking new lighting. The living room’s panoramic water views anchor an open-concept layout that flows into the oversized dining room and kitchen. The completely renovated kitchen features high-gloss white flat-panel cabinetry, frosted glass accents, quartz countertops, a full-height quartz backsplash, an oversized waterfall island, stainless steel appliances, abundant storage and a built-in bar with wine storage. Every bathroom is beautifully remodeled, and each has a window and exhaust fan. The first floor hosts the primary suite plus two additional bedrooms, all with 11-ft ceilings, and every bedroom in the home enjoys a lake view. The primary suite offers real hardwood floors, two walk-in closets and a private screened porch overlooking the lake. Its spa-inspired bathroom includes dual vessel sinks, a makeup area, jetted soaking tub and glass-enclosed shower with rainfall and body spray fixtures. A first-floor office or den adds a quiet place to work. Upstairs, real hardwood continues to an oversized loft/flex space with full bath, walk-in closet and separate HVAC, ideal for guests or entertainment. Two Florida rooms, one on each floor, each with its own mini-split system, offer year-round panoramic lake views. OUTDOORS: A fenced, private backyard opens to sweeping open-water views. The recently resurfaced saltwater pool (new pump and filter 2026) and freshly repainted pool deck lead to a private covered dock with a 5,000-lb electric boat lift, electricity and water. Spend afternoons swimming, boating or fishing, then watch brilliant Florida sunsets from the dock. An extensive driveway and freshly painted two-car garage with built-in storage add everyday convenience. ENERGY EFFICIENT: This solar-powered home also features all new windows (2024), a new main first-floor AC (2026) and mini-split systems in both Florida rooms. The seller currently pays only an approximately $30 monthly grid fee, compared to a previous $500-$600 monthly electric bill. The seller will pay off the solar loan at closing, OR the purchase price may be reduced if the buyer assumes the existing low-interest solar panel loan.
Mornings of sunlight on the lake, afternoons by the pool or on the boat, evenings on the dock beneath a painted Florida sky, with downtown Winter Garden just a golf cart ride away. This is the feeling of being on vacation every day, without ever leaving home.
