The oversized great room offers multiple gathering spaces, including a billiards area, a large television and game-day space, a generous dining area, and an impressive chef-inspired kitchen. At the center of the kitchen is an abundant quartz-topped island offering extensive workspace, seating, and a natural gathering place where guests can connect while meals are prepared. High-end flooring throughout the main home includes polished ceramic tile, travertine, and solid wood, while newer energy-efficient windows and doors enhance comfort and efficiency.
The primary suite is a magazine-worthy addition created as a private lakeside sanctuary.

Property taxes
✓ Certified county tax rollProperty taxes in Florida are reassessed after a sale, so a buyer’s first full-year bill can be higher than the seller’s. Budget from this estimate, not the current bill, before you make an offer.
Most of this comes from Florida’s Save Our Homes assessment cap resetting when the home sells — the current owner’s protected assessment does not transfer to a new buyer.
Certified 2025 tax roll values for this parcel (Florida DOR). The roll gives values, not the bill; the current owner’s bill above is estimated from the taxable value.

Comparable recent sales
6 closed sales within about 3 miles in the last 18 months — same property type, living area within 30% of this home. Sold prices are MLS closed-sale records, deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
Median of these 6 sales: $180,000 ($137/sq ft). Stronger local evidence. Shown for general reference only — not an appraisal or a statement of this home’s value.
The Messtimate
This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.
Stronger local evidence — 6 comparable closed sales within about 3 miles, closed within the last 18 months, same property type, living area within 30% of this home.
Actual list price: $2,500,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 56% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
- Condition & updates — a 1979 home may have had its roof, kitchen, or HVAC replaced since, or not; sq ft can't see either.
- The lot — this listing is waterfront; water frontage is priced far off a per-sq-ft average of the neighborhood.
- Outliers skew it — the band above comes from 6 nearby sales; one flip or distressed sale moves the whole $/sq ft.
- Carrying costs & concessions — CDD, HOA, insurance, and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.
- The pool — a private pool carries cost and value that living area doesn't capture.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
- This home: 45 days on market vs. a 156-day community median
- 1155 active listings competing, 306 under contract
For reference, this home is listed at $2,500,000 ($515/sq ft). The list price is the seller's asking price and is not derived from this range.

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 1629 Hempel Avenue, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 1979 (47 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- The listing reports no HOA: confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to this parcel.
- FEMA flood zone X: flood insurance is not usually required, but get a quote anyway — FEMA reports roughly one in four flood claims come from outside high-risk zones.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Orange County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
- Private pool: confirm the barrier or alarm meets the state residential pool safety code and ask for pump, heater, and resurfacing records.
- Waterfront: confirm seawall or dock condition and permits, and ask who owns and maintains the shoreline.
- Listed living area is 4,858 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
- Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
- Review permit history with the county.
- Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $40,850/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $31,125 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+320%). Exemptions and portability change the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser.
- School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 1629 Hempel Avenue and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 1629 Hempel Avenue was built in 1979 and has 4,858 sq ft of living area, 6 bedrooms and 4.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 1629 Hempel Avenue in?
1629 Hempel Avenue is in Windermere, Orange County. The comparable-sales section on this page shows recent closed sales nearby from the same MLS data.
Does 1629 Hempel Avenue have an HOA?
The listing reports no HOA. Confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to the parcel.
Why might property taxes on 1629 Hempel Avenue differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $40,850 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $31,125 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+320%). Florida reassesses a home after it sells; for a homesteaded seller the Save Our Homes cap on their assessment does not transfer, and a buyer's own exemptions and portability are applied separately, so the two bills usually differ. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 1629 Hempel Avenue in a flood zone?
The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone X, outside the special flood hazard area, so flood insurance is not usually required by a lender. It is still available and worth quoting; confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
