This beautiful home boasts an array of features and amenities that will make you fall in love with it from the moment you step inside.

The possibilities are endless here- let your imagination run wild and make this house your perfect dream home and retreat from the world. The spacious and bright living area wraps around the pool area and scenic oak-framed lake, making it an ideal space for entertaining and casual Florida living. A roomy air-conditioned Florida room is adjacent to the pool area, offering a light & bright place to work on hobbies or relax with a good book. The cheerful kitchen has a convenient work island and lots of pantry space, plus a window which overlooks the pool area and lots of natural scenery. The handy laundry room with utility sink is right next to the kitchen. The master bedroom features plenty of room to relax and recharge after a long day. A sliding glass door connects you to the Florida room and the pool area. The adjacent jack-and-jill bathroom has dual sinks, linen closet, and a shower with a handheld massaging shower head plus regular shower head. There’s lots of storage space in the big closets. Adjacent to the bathroom, the second bedroom has numerous built-in shelves and bookcases and would make a perfect den or collector’s dream space. Bedroom #3 is across the house from the others and provides plenty of privacy for guests. The closet is currently being used as a cozy office area with lots of storage, but it could easily be used as a closet again if desired. A huge highlight of this property is the outdoor space. The living areas take advantage of the beautiful view with lots of sliding glass doors wrapping around the solar-heated salt-water pool and lanai area with the scenic lake and trees beyond.
