Welcome to 1629 Hempel Avenue, a private lakefront retreat set on more than one gated acre along Lake Olivia, an approximately 88-acre, spring-fed lake with private access. Located in the desirable Gotha/Windermere area, this exceptional property offers rare peace and privacy while remaining convenient to Southwest Orlando’s renowned theme parks, premier shopping, Downtown Orlando, Orlando International Airport, highly regarded schools, and the Florida Turnpike.

The oversized great room offers multiple gathering spaces, including a billiards area, a large television and game-day space, a generous dining area, and an impressive chef-inspired kitchen. At the center of the kitchen is an abundant quartz-topped island offering extensive workspace, seating, and a natural gathering place where guests can connect while meals are prepared. High-end flooring throughout the main home includes polished ceramic tile, travertine, and solid wood, while newer energy-efficient windows and doors enhance comfort and efficiency. The primary suite is a magazine-worthy addition created as a private lakeside sanctuary. Cathedral ceilings, polished ceramic tile flooring, expansive lake views, and a flexible sitting or exercise area create an open and relaxing environment. Two oversized custom closets provide exceptional storage. The luxurious bathroom features floor-to-ceiling ceramic tile, quartz countertops, an oversized porcelain soaking tub, and a spacious walk-in shower room. Four distinctive outdoor living areas invite you to enjoy the property throughout the year.

The recently updated infinity-edge pool and heated spa overlook the lake, creating a resort-style setting for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying unforgettable sunsets. A separate guest residence adds tremendous flexibility and privacy. Complete with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a living area, it is ideal for multigenerational living, extended guests, or an on-site caretaker.
