Tucked back on a quiet cul-de-sac in Lake Winterwood, this beautifully cared-for home has been loved for decades. Inside, it’s bright & welcoming with vaulted ceilings, refinished hardwoods & a gorgeous updated kitchen, that catches the morning sun but stays cool in the afternoon with AC. Oversized windows frame the private, tree-lined backyard. Fully fenced, surrounded by nature & just the right mix of sun & shade. Need dedicated work-from-home space? Want formal & casual living areas? Check. Major investments include a 50-yr roof, newer windows & H2o tank. Residents enjoy trails, two community lakes (yes, there’s fishing & wildlife), sport court & a genuine sense of connection. It’s minutes from shopping, dining & top commuter routes.
