About this home
8297 DAY LILY PLACE
Experience the perfect blend of "country quiet" and modern prestige in this gorgeous 4BD/4BA pool home. Located in an exclusive gated community on a lush one-acre lot, this estate is framed by majestic oak trees and backs to a serene conservation area. The interior impresses with solid wood flooring, plantation shutters, and bronze fixtures throughout. Upon entry, soaring bay windows offer immediate views of the shimmering pool. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring solid maple cabinetry, granite counters, a tumbled marble backsplash, and stainless appliances. It flows seamlessly into the family room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and custom built-ins. The primary sanctuary offers poolside French doors and a spa-like bath with dual vanities, a garden tub, and custom "his and hers" closets. For the connoisseur, a dedicated wine cellar adds an extra layer of luxury. Upstairs, the expansive bonus room features a full bath and a screened balcony overlooking the water. Outside, a covered brick-paver lanai leads to the pool, while the side-entry 3-car garage and full sprinkler system provide modern convenience. Minutes from Lake Mary/Heathrow shopping and I-4, this is the ultimate private sanctuary.

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.
