Private, lakefront, contemporary architecture on an expansive 44,492 sq ft cul-de-sac lot in Windmill Lake Estates. Custom-built in 2014 by award-winning architect Nelson de Leon. 5 bedrooms plus office, 5 full baths, 5,178 sq ft under air. A floating wood staircase anchors the two-story interior beneath soaring ceilings, wrapped in 2-story hurricane-impact windows/doors, served by custom walk-in closets. This is the antidote to the square white box of minimalist modern homes: wood, natural stone, patterned tile, honed and polished finishes, tunable mood lighting, give every room texture. Designer fans throughout. A chef's kitchen anchors daily life: quartzite counters, Miele, Wolf, and Sub-Zero appliances, a wine cooler, and an oversized island. Motorized solar shades cut heat and glare while keeping the light and the lake view. 4-zone climate control. Tankless heaters deliver endless hot water; rare gas cooking runs off an on-premises tank. Prewired for TV, audio/video, networking. Lutron lighting, voice-controlled via Alexa and Siri. Multi-zone audio, built-in speakers. CCTV security, gigabit network, a 1-year tech warranty transferring at closing. A detached 3-car garage with covered portico, full AC, wired and lit for real usable space. Unobstructed lake views open behind the home, framing a coral stone terrace, summer kitchen with built-in grill, and an infinity-edge pool whose waterfall hushes the outside world. Tranquil and Zen, built to live indoor-outdoor, minutes from Miami yet an oasis when you need one. A one-of-a-kind Weston home, expansive yet cozy, for the buyer who prefers design, privacy, and serenity over square-foot sprawl.
