Extraordinary Golf Course Home for Sale:
Metro Orlando Area

This beautiful golf course villa has 2,680 square feet under air conditioning, three bedrooms and two baths, and overlooks the fifth and sixth fairways at Sweetwater Golf and Country Club in Apopka (Greater Orlando), Florida.
Offered at $415,000.

With golf course views, smaller lots—requiring less lawn maintenance—huge public spaces and healthy square footage, this home is perfect for an empty nester couple looking to downsize, but not necessarily in the main living areas of their home. And of course, Sweetwater Golf & Country Club remains one of the best maintained golf courses in Central Florida.

A double-gated entry opens into a long covered portico to the front door. Upon entering, a walled, brick courtyard lies off to the right of the portico walkway. The courtyard’s lushly landscaped brick patio is roughly the size of a two car garage and privacy and is great for outdoor entertaining during the spring and fall months.

The back of the house has a panoramic expanse of extra-wide glass sliding doors, revealing one of the most dramatic views of the Sweetwater Country Club Golf Course. As soon as you enter through the front door, a long sight line of almost 50 feet draws the eye through the glass doors at the back of the home—and the view of the golf course beyond. The lanai (lanai) and great room overlook the fifth green, with a long view down the sixth fairway.

The house consists of three bedrooms and two baths, with an oversized two-car garage and separate laundry room. The air conditioned living area is 2,680 square feet but feels much larger because of the huge rooms and open floor plan. The master bedroom is—quite literally—the size of two bedrooms.
