This spacious and beautifully designed elevated lakefront home offers over 3,072 square feet under air, providing comfort and versatility for a retired couple or growing family. The layout features three bedrooms, three full baths, and a loft, along with a formal dining room that can serve as a den or fourth bedroom, making the home adaptable to a variety of needs. The residence sits on an eco-friendly, oversized park-like lot across from protected conservation land. Enjoy breathtaking sunsets over the 17-acre lake from the screen-in porch and lanai, or relax by the large swimming pool and spa, complete with solar heater and waterfall. The home boasts cathedral ceilings, an eat-in kitchen with granite countertops, and a bright open feel throughout. The finished first floor, featuring impact patio doors and a concrete block foundation, is ideal for an art studio, hobbies, or even an entertainment space. Practical upgrades include a new metal roof, new air conditioning units, and extra clearance impact garage doors for the 3 1/2 car finished garage. The location is equally impressive with HOA tennis and pickleball courts and a short walk to the beach access, making this an exceptional property in a peaceful and highly desirable neighborhood. Square footage is believed to be correct but Buyer to verify.
