About this home
Move in. Reimagine. Or build new. Welcome to the Lake Down Shores lifestyle, where one-acre homesites and private community access to the Windermere Chain of Lakes offer a special opportunity. Set on a beautiful corner lot just a few homes from the lake, 9601 Ambleside Drive offers something increasingly difficult to find: a move-in-ready home today, an exceptional amount of land, and the flexibility to imagine something entirely different for the future. Situated on a full, flat acre, the property offers a generous front yard while still leaving an enormous backyard with incredible possibilities. Offering more than 3,000 square feet of single-story living, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and garage parking for four vehicles, the home has been refreshed with a roof replaced in 2021, one of two HVAC systems replaced in 2022, new interior and exterior paint, lighting and fixtures, updated bathrooms, new door hardware, new front door, new carpet in many rooms, plumbing updates, new water softener, and new water heater. Generously sized rooms and an interconnected floor plan make this a wonderful home for entertaining. Wood flooring complements the main gathering areas, while expansive near-floor-to-ceiling windows and Solatubes bring in abundant natural light. The family room connects to the kitchen and air-conditioned Florida room, which features casement windows and plantation shutters. Updated in 2020, the kitchen features abundant cabinetry with wood pull-out drawers, a large island, quartz countertops, stainless-steel Samsung and LG appliances, and a glass-top convection range. The spacious primary suite features an ensuite bath and walk-in closet, plus French doors leading to a flexible bonus room ideal for a home office, nursery, or sitting room. Three additional bedrooms are also generously sized, and a large laundry room provides additional storage. What truly distinguishes this property is the opportunity it presents. Enjoy the beautifully refreshed residence today, reimagine the existing home through a comprehensive transformation, or create an entirely new custom residence on this exceptional one-acre homesite. Additional features include a 2-car attached garage plus a separate 2-car detached garage, dedicated irrigation well, and septic system pumped in April 2026. Lake Down Shores residents enjoy access to the community’s private HOA boat ramp onto the Windermere Chain of Lakes. The seller, an experienced luxury home builder, has already developed concepts specifically for the property, including plans for both a complete renovation of the existing residence and new construction. These concepts offer a compelling vision of what this remarkable homesite could become while letting the next owner choose the path that best reflects their lifestyle. Conceptual plans are available for review and are presented for inspiration only; future improvements and construction are subject to applicable governmental and HOA approvals. To experience the builder’s design aesthetic, finishes, and portfolio of completed residences, please ask for more information....
