849 Crystal Water Way is an exceptional lakefront home in the highly sought-after gated community of Waterway Palms Plantation. Originally purchased as new construction just a few years ago, this home has been meticulously maintained and presents in true move-in condition. The owners have taken extraordinary care of the property with no pets, no smoking, and a shoes-off household. Perfectly positioned on a premier lakefront homesite, the property offers breathtaking panoramic water views and an impressive list of upgrades inside and out. The bright, open floor plan is filled with natural light from oversized windows overlooking the lake. The main level features a spacious Owner's Suite, private office, and expansive living, dining, and kitchen areas designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs, you'll find three additional bedrooms, a second office that is ideal for working from home or as a dedicated study space, a spacious loft that serves as a second living area, and a versatile bonus room that can easily function as a fifth bedroom, media room, fitness room, or playroom. Thoughtful upgrades and quality finishes can be found throughout the home. It features custom window treatments, smart home technology including WiFi-controlled exterior lighting, upgraded thermostats, and a smart video doorbell. The oversized screened porch is the perfect place to relax while enjoying the lake views and includes an upgraded ceiling fan, retractable privacy shade, and mounted television that conveys. An additional mounted television in the garage also conveys with the home. The backyard has been transformed into a private outdoor retreat. A custom 28' x 22' patio features a built-in gas fire pit, seating wall, low-voltage landscape lighting, privacy landscaping, tropical palms, and beautiful New England stone landscape beds, creating an ideal space for entertaining or relaxing. Waterway Palms Plantation offers an outstanding lifestyle with resort-style amenities including a two-story clubhouse, swimming pool, tennis courts, playground, boat launch, and dry storage, all within a gated Intracoastal Waterway community. If you've been waiting for a home that shows like new, offers incredible lake views, and includes extensive custom upgrades, 849 Crystal Water Way is a must-see.
