About this property

A furnished pond view townhome inside the guard gate at ChampionsGate. Morning starts differently at 1454 El Conte Drive. Slide open the glass, step onto the screened lanai with your coffee & the first thing you notice is the space. A wide, open lawn rolls out behind the home toward a pond where a fountain throws silver arcs into the Florida sky. No fence lines. No rooftops pressed against yours. Just green, water & the soft turn of a ceiling fan overhead. Inside the guard gate of Veranda at Bella Trae in ChampionsGate, this is a home built around that view. Veranda is a private enclave of just 20 townhomes within Bella Trae, & homes here rarely come up for sale. Your arrival is quietly gracious. A paver drive leads to a Mediterranean facade of warm stucco & barrel tile, & a leaded glass front door pours light into the foyer. Fresh paint throughout keeps every room crisp & bright. Rich wood floors begin at the threshold & carry through every room on both levels, while a staircase with iron balusters climbs toward the bedrooms. To one side, a formal dining room waits beneath a candle-style chandelier & a stepped ceiling trimmed in crown molding. Then the home opens up. The great room stretches across the back of the house behind a wall of sliding glass doors, so the lawn & the water become part of the room. Light moves across the floors all day. Evenings here feel unhurried, the kind where conversation drifts from the sofa to the kitchen without anyone noticing. The kitchen is the heart of it all. A long granite island seats four beneath three gold dome pendants, with the sink facing the living space so the cook is never left out. Egg-shell wood cabinetry, stainless appliances & a tiled backsplash keep it bright & easy. Just beyond, a dinette sits right at the sliders, a sunny corner for slow breakfasts with the lanai a step away. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a retreat of its own. A tray ceiling lifts the room & a wide window frames the pond & its fountain, the last thing you see at night & the first thing you see in the morning. The bath offers dual sinks with a makeup vanity, a soaking tub, a separate shower & a walk-in closet. Two more bedrooms share the floor with a full bath, one with its own pond view & one already set up as a home office. The second bedroom's bed has a cooling, electric Sealy mattress with massage. A half bath & a laundry room with a washer & dryer complete the home, & it comes furnished, styled with care & ready the day you arrive. When the day winds down, the lanai is where you will want to be. The screen keeps the evening easy, the fan keeps the air moving & the fountain keeps its quiet rhythm as the sky over the pond turns gold, then deep blue. It is the kind of place where one glass of wine becomes an hour without trying. Built in 2017 of block & stucco under a tile roof, with an attached two car garage, the home pairs that easy feel with real substance. The association handles the 24-hour guarded gate, phone, cable & internet & exterior & grounds maintenance, so weekends belong to you. Spend them at the community pool, the fitness center or the tennis courts, or join one of the many community activities on the calendar each month. ChampionsGate sits right off I-4 at exit 58 with incredible golf courses practically next door, keeping the rest of Central Florida within easy reach while the pond out back keeps it all at a gentle distance.
