$15,000 SmartStart Grant Eligible | Most buyers don't realize a home at this price point can qualify for a $15,000 non-repayable grant. This one does. Whoever built this home decided it was going to be the one of one — Venetian plaster, dark walnut millwork, wrought iron staircase, travertine floors, handmade range hood, custom cabinetry throughout. Rock waterfall pool and spa, stone-faced summer kitchen, covered lanai over the lake. Second-floor balcony off the primary suite looks over all of it at dusk. Five bedrooms, private ensuite on the main floor, NEW ROOF. Olympia was built for the resort lifestyle. This home was built to be the best one in it. Here it is — trimmed to fit, nothing important cut, just tightened where the prose had room to give: FULL EXTENDED DESCRIPTION Before Olympia, There Was Dirt I used to ride dirt bikes through what is now Olympia. That's not nostalgia — that's context. Before Minto broke ground in 2002, that stretch of land south of Forest Hill Boulevard was wide open. Wellington was already growing, but nothing at this scale had been attempted here. When Minto announced they were going to build nearly 1,800 homes on 832 acres in the heart of Wellington, people paid attention. This was going to be the largest master-planned residential development Wellington had ever seen. They built it over twelve years. Finished the last home — the Aviano model — in 2014. Seventeen villages. Four model collections. Fifty-plus floor plans. And they didn't just build houses — they built a community with the infrastructure to match. Equestrian Trails Elementary sits right at the edge of Olympia on Stribling Way, ranked #27 in the state of Florida, 10 out of 10 on GreatSchools. Emerald Cove Middle is right behind it. These schools weren't placed nearby as a coincidence — they were part of the plan. Wellington built to serve the families that were going to live here. When a community is large enough that the school district builds a school specifically to serve it, you're not buying a house. You're buying into infrastructure designed with permanence in mind. A Mediterranean Home Built to Be the One I've been inside over 100 homes in Olympia. I know this model. I've walked it in multiple villages over the years. None of them looked like this. Luxury homes in Olympia Wellington rarely feature this level of custom interior work — and whoever built 9041 Alexandra Circle decided early on that it was going to be the exception. Venetian plaster walls throughout — that warm, aged, layered texture that no production builder bothers with. Dark walnut millwork running through every room: crown molding, wainscoting, window casings, door surrounds. All matching. All custom. The staircase anchors the entry — wrought iron with scroll and leaf ironwork balusters, wood handrail, the kind of piece you build once and never replace. Arched doorways and architectural niches carry the Mediterranean language from room to room. The exterior delivers the same promise: barrel tile roof, arched entry, brick paver driveway, mature palms. But the outside is just the preview. The interior is where the investment shows. This is not a house decorated to look Mediterranean. It was built that way from the walls out. The Kitchen The kitchen photograph will stop buyers mid-scroll. Full custom cabinetry in a warm honey tone with dark glaze detailing, glass-front uppers, carved rope crown molding across every run. Granite countertops. Center island. A coffered octagonal tray ceiling with recessed lighting. And in the center of the cooking wall — a hand-carved custom wood range hood. Not an insert, not a decorative box. A carved range hood that looks like it belongs in a kitchen in Tuscany. Sub-Zero side-by-side refrigerator, double wall ovens, built-in microwave. This kitchen was built to cook in and to be seen in equal measure. The Living Spaces The floor plan gives you formal and informal living on the main level, connected through arched openings. The dining room sits off the entry — dark walnut wainscoting, Venetian plaster, crystal chandelier, the wrought iron staircase as the backdrop. The stone fireplace anchors the formal living room beyond the arch. Travertine floors run throughout the main living areas. The family room is where the house relaxes — a full custom built-in entertainment wall, real wood floor to ceiling, with arched center display, flanking shelves, and lower cabinetry. Plantation shutters throughout. The bonus room earns its own mention. Large carpeted space with Venetian plaster walls, its own exterior door, crown molding, ceiling fan, and a built-in bench with upholstered cushion. Media room, playroom, home gym, second family room — the exterior door gives it full separation from the main living flow. The Primary Suite The primary suite occupies the rear of the second floor — privacy from the secondary bedrooms and direct access to the balcony that faces the pool and the lake. The primary bath matches the standard set by the kitchen. Two full dark walnut vanity towers floor to ceiling, flanking a corner soaking tub beneath a window that looks out at the lake. Dual sinks, granite counters, framed mirrors set into the custom cabinetry. Separate shower. Same craftsman, same standard, no shortcuts taken. The house was designed so the water follows you — from the balcony, from the family room, from the backyard. The primary bath is the last place it shows up, and it lands. The Backyard — This Is the Listing For a five-bedroom lakefront home in Olympia Wellington, what's been built here is genuinely uncommon. The pool is freeform with a natural rock waterfall feature and a raised spa with stone surround. Palm trees are lit from below, casting that warm uplight that makes a backyard feel like a resort. Travertine decking covers the entire outdoor area — same material as the interior, inside and out. The covered lanai runs the width of the home. String lights, ceiling fan, outdoor TV. The summer kitchen is stone-faced with a built-in grill and counter space. The owners built it to have it, not to sell it. Above all of it — the second-floor balcony off the primary suite. That wrought iron railing. The pool below, the palm trees, the lake, and whatever the western sky is doing that evening. Step out of your bedroom. Take it in. That's the daily reality of this house. Four Gates, One Community Built for the Resort Lifestyle Olympia was designed around one idea: resort lifestyle living inside a guard-gated community in the heart of Wellington. Four guarded entrances — Forest Hill Boulevard, the east side of 441, Stribling Way to the north, Lyons Road to the west. Roving security around the clock. Villa Olympia delivers on the promise. Indoor basketball court, fitness center, meeting rooms, catering kitchen with party facilities. Outside: three lighted tennis courts, two pickleball courts, volleyball, basketball, a children's aqua park, a resort-style lagoon pool with cabanas, and three miles of walking and biking paths. Lake Olympia spans over 100 acres. Total lakes and preserves: 240-plus acres across 832 acres of master-planned community. Wellington Is the Backdrop Wellington is the Winter Equestrian Capital of the World — home to the Winter Equestrian Festival, the largest and longest-running show jumping competition on the planet. Thirteen weeks, $16 million in prize money, 100,000-plus spectators every January through March. The WEF generates nearly half a billion dollars for the Palm Beach County economy annually. For Olympia residents, Saturday Night Lights Grand Prix is fifteen minutes away. General admission is free. Location: The 441 Corridor Advantage Wellington Regional Hospital is across the street.
