About This Home
As of April 2026One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. This HIDDEN GEM is a RARE FIND! Lake Diamond Estates is a friendly neighborhood comprised of long-time owners. Homes rarely become available here. Only 16 homes view the lake in the hub of this neighborhood. A quaint and secluded lakeside neighborhood – No Thru Traffic! Each of the 16 homes’ lots extend across the street and into the lake. Each also include a water lot on the lake – Lovely view! This is a clean and nice home that was just freshly painted inside and out. The kitchen is bright and cheerful with a window that views the backyard. Nicely updated with newer cabinets. The inviting family room views the oversized backyard. A tranquil and sun dappled place to play catch, fetch or to create an amazing garden. There is room to pull a boat or RV into the backyard. SO MANY POSSIBILITIES! The spacious primary bedroom has many opportunities including creating an en-suite master bathroom. The main bathroom has been redone and is perfect for a relaxing bath. This long-time owner has never had any flooding problems with this property. No problems from the 2024 storms. Recent updates include: BRAND NEW ROOF TO BE INSTALLED PRIOR TO CLOSING, Brand-new water heater (2026), and Updated electrical panel. Close to Lake Seminole Park and its 2 mile shaded and paved nature trail. Close to restaurants, fun and shopping at the Seminole City Center. Located about 15 minutes from world famous award-winning beaches, about 30 minutes to Tampa International Airport or Downtown St. Pete.
