Lake Harris Estate offered at Fraction of Original Cost

Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty named exclusive broker for the Lake County Property

ORLANDO, Fla. --- Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty recently announced that one of its most prestigious listings on Lake Harris – one of a nine-lake chain of lakes in Lake County – has been dramatically reduced to $1,195,000 for immediate sale.

Roger Soderstrom, founder and owner of Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty, said the lake front estate with its master crafted 6,226 square foot, four bedroom luxury home was originally built at a cost of well over $2,000,000.

“The national recession and the housing slowdown have generated hundreds of spectacular buys, but this one is one of the most attractive in the whole region,” Soderstrom said.

“The western exposure in the rear of the home affords spectacular sunsets and panoramic views from almost every room,” Soderstrom added.

“The lanai extends the entire length of the home, adding outdoor living space, a summer kitchen, large heated pool and spa with unobstructed views of the lake, and an enticing walkway to the private boathouse complete with two boat lifts and picnic areas,” he said.

The home features his and her studies, butler’s pantry with commercial icemaker and wine refrigerator, and a huge gourmet kitchen featuring Dacor appliances, built-in cooling drawers and a Subzero refrigerator.

The Lake Harris estate is listed by Stirling Sotheby’s International Luxury Home Specialists Deborah Breaux and Diana Smith with the firm’s Heathrow Sales Center 407-333-1900.
