Welcome Home! This is the one you've been waiting for - a single level 4 bedroom 3 bath pool home inside the gates of Markham Forest in the west portion of Sanford/Seminole County. This home is located on a premium half-acre waterfront lot under a canopy of trees and surrounded by lush landscaping. The home is a split bedroom floorplan with open and airy living spaces throughout. The foyer opens to a formal living room and dining room. The kitchen includes a breakfast bar and dining nook, Silestone quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances. A built-in desk provides a space for household organization. The adjacent family room is centered around a wood-burning fireplace and built in shelving. Wood flooring elevates the style and sophistication and neutral paint colors will blend with any furnishings. The primary bedroom suite is tucked away beyond the kitchen and dining room. Thoughtful continuation of wood flooring creates a warm and restful ambiance and French doors leading to the lanai provide a relaxing view. The bathroom features a walk-in shower and a separate garden bathtub. Two closets provide ample space for a wardrobe for two. Three secondary bedrooms are located on the other side of the family room. Two of the bedrooms share a full bathroom that is also accessible to the pool and lanai. The other is currently used as a home office and has access to the third full bathroom. A laundry room and 3 car garage complete the floorplan. Don't miss the recently updated screened lanai, pavers, and resurfaced pool and spa. Both are heated by gas. The back yard is expansive, open and waterfront. No rear neighbors! New roof in 2020, the AC was replaced in 2020 and the water heater was replaced in 2022. Whole house water filtration system included. The washer and dryer will stay with the home and some of the office furniture. Call your favorite REALTOR today and make an appointment to view this amazing home. House may be under audio/visual surveillance.
