Wildlife lovers will appreciate the frequent sightings of otters, ducks, and blue herons that add to the natural beauty of this lakeside retreat. The home’s oversized screened lanai, featuring upgraded pavers, is perfect for relaxing or entertaining. French doors from the dining area and the primary bedroom open onto this tranquil outdoor space, offering a seamless connection to the outdoors. A private dock with a boat lift provides direct water access, making it a dream for boating and fishing enthusiasts. Inside, the updated kitchen boasts granite countertops, freshly painted cabinets, and ample storage. The updated wood laminate flooring with cork underlayment enhances comfort and luxury throughout the home. The sunken living room, complete with a wood-burning fireplace and a premium in-home surround sound system, serves as the ultimate gathering space for family and friends. Additional updates include a new AC system installed in August 2024, complete with a 10-year parts warranty, fresh exterior paint, and updated windows throughout the house. The septic and drain field were replaced in 2016, and hurricane shutters provide added peace of mind during storm seasons. A convenient indoor laundry room adds practicality to this already impressive home. Conveniently located near I-4 and the Polk Parkway, this property offers easy access to major destinations while remaining close to grocery stores and other essential amenities. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience the perfect combination of comfort, lakeside living, and modern convenience. Schedule your showing today!
