About this home
9561 WATERWAY PASSAGE DRIVE
Designed for comfortable everyday living and easy gatherings, this inviting Waterleigh home pairs a flexible two-story layout with fresh interior finishes and thoughtfully connected living spaces. Brand-new interior paint creates a bright, polished backdrop throughout, while decorative wainscoting and chair rail added in 2021 bring character to the main living areas. Just off the foyer, a versatile flex room can serve as a home office, formal dining room, playroom, hobby space, or additional sitting area based on your needs. Wood-look tile extends across the first floor, where wide archways create an easy flow between the kitchen, casual dining area, and family room. The kitchen is anchored by a large island with seating and features white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a blue glass-tile backsplash, generous counter space, a walk-in pantry, and a cabinet-lined serving area. The refrigerator was replaced in July 2024, and the microwave was replaced in November 2023. The first-floor primary suite offers a comfortable retreat with a tray ceiling, multiple windows, and an en suite bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, separate shower, and an exceptionally large walk-in closet. Upstairs, one secondary bedroom includes its own full bath, while two additional bedrooms share another full bathroom with dual sinks. The oversized loft provides adaptable space for media, recreation, work, or hobbies. A dedicated laundry room, powder bath, built-in drop zone cabinetry, and attached two-car garage add everyday convenience. Wi-Fi-enabled features include the refrigerator, washer, dryer, microwave, thermostat, garage door openers, Ring device, and two smoke detectors. The exterior was painted in August 2025, and the covered front porch, covered rear lanai, and grassy backyard provide additional space to relax outdoors. Waterleigh residents have access to amenities throughout every phase of the community, including four resort-style pools, three fitness centers, tennis courts, sand volleyball, mini-golf, multiple playgrounds, pavilions, and walking paths. Lawn maintenance is included with the HOA, allowing more time to enjoy the neighborhood and its convenient Horizon West location near SR-429, shopping, dining, and Central Florida attractions.

The numbers
What it really costs

$5,170 /mo · 10% down Conventional, 30-yr fixed at 6%
The assumptions

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
