Located within the highly sought-after St. Ives section of Orange Tree--a more exclusive enclave inside one of Dr. Phillips' premier guard-gated golf communities--this extensively upgraded pool home delivers a rare combination of scale, condition, and lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find at this price point.
Positioned on a spacious homesite with a circular paver driveway and mature oak canopy, the home immediately sets a tone of established luxury and privacy. Inside, the layout is both functional and intentional, offering a split floor plan with a true 5-bedroom configuration, high ceilings, and an abundance of natural light anchored by expansive views of the outdoor living space.
The kitchen has been fully renovated with quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and a built-in Miele coffee system, opening seamlessly to the main living areas--designed for both everyday living and elevated entertaining. Wood-look ceramic tile flooring enhances durability and aesthetic continuity throughout the primary spaces.
Major system upgrades provide a level of confidence rarely seen in competing homes, including a 2021 roof, 2024 HVAC system, 2025 whole-house replumb, updated insulation, and additional mechanical improvements--representing a meaningful investment in long-term ownership quality .
The outdoor living environment is where this property separates itself. A fully screened enclosure frames the resurfaced and electrically heated pool, complemented by upgraded pavers, a custom-built bar, and multiple covered seating areas--creating a true extension of the home designed for year-round use. Whether hosting or unwinding, the space is both private and highly functional.
The primary suite is privately positioned with direct access to the pool deck, reinforcing the home's indoor-outdoor flow and livability. Additional features include a wood-burning fireplace, Tesla charging station, upgraded front entry, and thoughtfully improved interior finishes.
Beyond the property itself, St. Ives at Orange Tree offers a distinct advantage--combining the security of a gated community with access to the Orange Tree Golf Club, recreation center, tennis, pickleball, fitness facilities, and a lifestyle centered around connectivity and convenience. All of this is just minutes from Restaurant Row, major attractions, top-rated schools, and the core of Central Florida.
This is not simply another home in Orange Tree--it is a fully evolved property where the major capital improvements have already been completed, the layout supports modern living, and the setting delivers the lifestyle buyers are actively searching for.
Opportunities like this--where condition, location, and livability align--are limited, and rarely come to market fully realized.
