Very rare lake-front view opportunity at 231 Montana Del Lago—truly turnkey and beautifully upgraded. Neutral décor sets a calm backdrop for an airy main level with a breakfast bar kitchen featuring remodeled cabinetry, granite counters, and stainless-steel appliances (refrigerator included). Warm hardwood floors, crown molding, recessed lighting, ceiling fans, and built-in speakers elevate everyday living. A finished lower level (with full-size laundry room) flexes as a den, office, or potential 4th bedroom. Upstairs, three bedrooms include a primary with walk-in closet; baths feature updated details including a clear glass shower door. Enjoy the enclosed yard with sparkling lake views, perfect for morning coffee or sunset gatherings. Thoughtful touches continue with mirrored wardrobe doors, closet organizers, six-panel doors and upgraded hardware, plus a cozy fireplace. Stroll to the Lake, Beach Club Lagoon, trails, shops, restaurants, and more—an entertainer’s setting in a premier RSM lake-area location. This one has it all!
