Step Inside A $15 Million Florida Mansion Perfect For Star Wars Fans
Any fan of "Star Wars" would be excited to tour this home located in the Carolwood neighborhood of Golden Oak, Florida, at Walt Disney World. The $15 million estate, with seven bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, boasts more than 10,500 square feet of living space and a millennium falcon-themed home theater, as per the New York Post. However, this isn't the only design feature that would excite a Disney Enthusiast. Details within the home nod to several different Disney movies. Some are subtle, such as the marble fireplace in the dining room that replicates the one in Cinderella's apartment. Others are obvious, like the children's bedroom decked out in Star Wars memorabilia.
The house, built in 2019, shows off modern Mediterranean style throughout most of its rooms and exterior, as told by Sotheby's International Realty. Though the Disney theme might sound tacky at first, the residence is exquisitely decorated with just as much personality as other homes in the neighborhood. It holds the perfect location and design for families who love Disney.
The incredible Mediterranean exterior
From the outside of this property, it looks like someone plucked the home from Greece and dropped it into this Golden Oak neighborhood. The exterior of the estate features white stone and smooth plaster finishes as well as tall archways, clay roof tiles, and wrought iron accents and grillwork. As the New York Post explains, this 0.75-acre lot is filled with exciting amenities indoors and out. You'll find some of the most remarkable highlights in the yard, such as a free-form pool with a waterslide and waterfall feature. Another is a covered outdoor dining space with a gourmet kitchen and what looks to be a pizza oven disguised as Toothless from the film series "How to Train Your Dragon," as seen on the listing by Sotheby's International Realty.
There is also a detached studio guest house and a motor court leading to four garages. Three of the garages feature lifts, so you can easily fit seven cars in these protected spaces and many more in the expansive driveway. Whether the next owner decides to live here full-time or use the place as a summer home, they'll have plenty of space for all their guests to enjoy the Floridian sun.
Walk into your favorite movies on the first floor
When you walk into this mansion, one of the first things to notice is the entryway's grand staircase. It features gorgeous wrought iron railings that spiral around a lengthy Swarovski crystal chandelier. Each time you walk up or down this staircase, you'll feel like Belle from "Beauty and the Beast." Also located on the main floor are the kitchen, great room, home theater, and large home office. The kitchen boasts updated stainless steel appliances, solid wood custom cabinetry, and granite countertops, according to Sotheby's International Realty. A giant kitchen island makes a statement in the middle of the room, and it is raised on one side for an eat-in experience.
Not a single detail is missed in this space with its two sinks, carved wooden accents, and backlit cabinetry. Even better, the indoor kitchen is connected by glass-paned French doors to the outdoor kitchen that features all the appliances you would need, including a large grill. The star of the main floor is the "Star Wars"-themed home theater, complete with a full wet bar. Every inch of this room is decorated to match the inside of the Millennium Falcon, one of the fastest starships commanded primarily by Han Solo and Chewbacca. False windows on either side of the sitting area make it appear as though you are flying through space as you watch your favorite "Star Wars" film from one of the eight leather movie chairs.
Each bedroom designed with an eye for Disney
On the residence's second floor, you'll find another room celebrating the "Star Wars" franchise, per Sotheby's International Realty. A children's bedroom is designed wall-to-wall with space-themed décor, and even the ceiling fans have a futuristic way about them. Guests will notice miniatures of baby Yoda, R2D2, and Chewbacca sitting on the floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, "Star Wars" bed sheets, and headboards to round out the design.
Other bedrooms in the home have less apparent themes. The primary bedroom is decorated to look much more adult, though one might argue that there are touches of the Disney film "The Little Mermaid" in its slightly nautical design and convenient access to the pool. The primary bedroom is highlighted by its two gas fireplaces, naturally-lighted sitting area, and spacious ensuite bathroom. This bathroom features a jacuzzi tub, a walk-in shower, and double sinks separated by a vanity. The five remaining bedrooms around the estate reflect similar characteristics, such as the same light blue paint, stone countertops in their bathrooms, and gorgeous dark hardwood flooring. Residents and guests invited to this home will have a comfortable stay.
