Showcase Estate Home for sale in Harmony represents Extreme value for buyer

ORLANDO, Fla. - An exclusive 5,400 square foot luxury home for sale at Harmony near southeast Orlando’s new Medical City offers an unusual value for the next buyer.

Roger Soderstrom, founder and principal at Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty in Orlando---exclusive sales and marketing representatives for the $1.4 million luxury home---said the showcase builder estate was beautifully furnished as a model home.

“The design and construction details evident in this showcase luxury home are amazing,” Soderstrom said. “The furnishings, which will be sold with the house, are equally breathtaking, and the current sale price is a full $560,000 below the initial offering price,” Soderstrom said.

The seller is offering to finance the sale of the home with 20 percent down and will negotiate a lease-option with qualified buyers, Soderstrom said.

The USGBC LEED “Green” Certified luxury home offers four bedroom suites, five-and-a-half baths, five fireplaces, a private elevator, a courtyard swimming pool and cascading waterfall, billiard room, game room, and private breakfast lanai.

Jody Connor, an associate with Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty’s (www.stirlingsir.com) Downtown World Center, listed the estate home for sale with an asking price of $1,387,500. Harmony is a unique environment with a town square and art sculptures throughout.
