9 Silk Oak St, Lake Placid, FL 33852

This recently remodeled and beautifully appointed canal front home is just a few yards from open water on famous Lake Istokpoga, Florida’s premier fishing lake! It’s located in a quiet neighborhood on a cul-de-sac with surrounding ranch land and state preserve. From the front door you enter a foyer that doubles as overflow guest sleeping with a Murphy bed. The Foyer leads to the bright, open living area with it’s cathedral ceilings, crown molding, transom windows and French doors. Your gourmet will love the kitchen with its beautiful light oak cabinets, granite counter tops and backsplash. The stainless GE appliances are just a year old. Note the gorgeous light colored pine plank panel ceilings throughout the kitchen, Family room and bedrooms, giving the home a cozy cottage feel! The family room opens to the “winterized” rear porch overlooking the canal, where you’ll love relaxing with friends and family after a day of fishing and exploring. The spacious Master suite features an updated bath with walk in shower and big walk-in closet. The 2nd bedroom and hall bath are also updated and offer privacy for guests. The "Murphy Bed" in the foyer provides additional sleeping area for guests. Note the huge loft over the garage. (Note: third bedroom is loft. No closet but lots of storage room.) It’s air conditioned and provides room for grandkids, games and storage. No storm worries with the standing seam metal roof on both the home and the boathouse! The Boathouse has a new lift motor and cables and the canal was recently dredged providing plenty of draft for your boat. HVAC was new in 2018 and home was recently re-ducted with ducts added to loft. 13 inches of insulation was added above kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms and loft per Seller. New irrigation pump in 2024. This is a great seasonal or weekend get away or a full time home. Must be seen to be fully appreciated!
