Don't miss this one-of-a-kind custom home in Bel Aire's Central Park neighborhood, sitting on one of the most coveted lots in the entire community. Positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the property backs directly to the main fishing lake with exceptional privacy and expansive water views. The half-acre lot includes an additional 0.34-acre lakeside buffer maintained by the owners, and special assessments are nearly paid off with only a single half-year payment remaining. Living in Central Park means access to miles of walking paths, multiple lakes, a playground, and the Bel Aire Pool just down the road. The neighborhood is also close to top-rated public and private schools, Dillon's, and a variety of dining and shopping options. Pulling up to the home, you'll appreciate the long oversized driveway, deep setback, mature trees, and wraparound covered front porch. The 3-car garage is angled to match the shape of the lot, giving the front elevation a distinctive custom feel. Step inside onto real white oak hardwood floors to find a spacious, light-filled living area with walls of windows overlooking the lake. The open layout connects seamlessly to the kitchen and dining areas, and you'll appreciate the timeless custom woodwork, solid wood doors, and wider-than-standard doorways and hallways throughout. The formal dining room features a custom coffered wood ceiling, chandelier, wall sconces, and windows on two sides. The kitchen is equipped with cherry wood cabinetry, a stainless steel countertop with an integrated double-basin sink, quartz countertops on the peninsula, a tile backsplash, under & over cabinet lighting, stainless steel appliances, a dedicated coffee bar, a sweep-in central vacuum pan, and a tubular skylight that keeps the space bright throughout the day. The adjacent walk-in pantry offers deep storage, a large sink with a foot-control faucet, and a window. Just off the kitchen is a breakfast nook surrounded by a bay of windows with a built-in bench and a door leading out to the screened-in back deck. The primary suite features American cherry hardwood floors and custom solid wood sliding closet doors. The private bathroom includes split vanities, a soaker tub, a walk-in shower, and a large walk-in closet with color-correcting lighting and plumbing in place for a stackable washer and dryer. The main floor also includes a second bedroom with vaulted ceilings and a full hall bathroom with a walk-in shower. Head up the oak staircase to the second-floor study, a flexible bonus space with vaulted ceilings and a sliding glass door opening to a large covered balcony with sweeping lake views, perfect for watching Fourth of July fireworks over the lake. Head downstairs to find a spacious family room with tile floors, an electric fireplace, and natural light from viewout windows. The basement also includes a full hall bathroom with a walk-in shower, two additional bedrooms, and rough-in plumbing for a fourth bathroom. One bedroom works well as a craft room or flex space, while the other is currently used as a laundry room with a utility sink, hookups, a walk-in closet, and a drip-drying area, and can easily convert back to a standard bedroom. The utility room includes a battery backup sump pump and additional laundry hookups, giving the new owners three options for laundry placement. The basement also features a storm shelter that works equally well as a wine cellar. In the backyard you'll love the screened-in deck for bug-free outdoor living, the lower walkout area pre-wired for a hot tub, and the expansive lawn running directly to the lake. The home also includes a wired exterior security camera system, an HRV system that continuously brings fresh outdoor air into the home, and wired ceiling speakers throughout the main floor living and dining areas. A property with this setting, lot size, and level of custom craftsmanship in Central Park is a rare find. Schedule your private tour today!
