The 17,000-square-foot home features a view of Lake Maitland and has 140 feet of lake frontage on the back of the property.

The home was designed by Grant and renovated by its current owner, who was known for hosting galas at the home several times a month. Situated on 2.1 acres, the home features seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, five one-half bathrooms, a ballroom that can accommodate 200 guests, an elevator, several bars, a terraced gardens, a summer kitchen, a spa and a pool. But the home’s list of amenities doesn’t end there.

“There is an unbelievable theater room, a cool game room, a nice exercise room, an open floorplan and the master (suite) is in its own separate wing,” said John Pinel, one of the home’s listing agents with Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate.

The home has been on the market for about two weeks, and Pinel said it already has been viewed by several different parties.

“We feel it’s a fair price for that house,” Pinel said. “The dirt alone is worth $4 million or $5 million.”

The first thing guests will notice when entering the home is the marble foyer, curved, grand staircase and Chihuly chandelier. And the back of the home features glass walls that overlook the infinity pool and Lake Maitland.

“There is nothing in Central Florida that compares to this property,” said Mick Night, the home’s other listing agent with Coldwell Banker. “The residence was built for large-scale entertaining, and it certainly delivers.”

The home originally was listed at $11.9 million; the current price represents about a $4 million price reduction.
