Offered turnkey furnished, this stunning home showcases breathtaking lake views with a serene natural preserve as the backdrop. Designed for both comfort and peace of mind, the property features impact windows and roll-down hurricane shutters on the lanai, allowing it to be storm-ready in minutes. This thoughtfully designed three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home offers a split floor plan, ensuring privacy for both owners and guests. The third bedroom, currently used as a den with double pocket doors and a closet, provides a versatile space that easily accommodates overflow guests. High ceilings, crown molding, and plantation shutters enhance the open floor plan, where the great room seamlessly transitions into the sunlit Florida room. Sliding glass doors lead to the oversized lanai, where the picturesque lake view becomes the focal point of the home, bringing nature’s beauty indoors. The spacious kitchen is a chef’s delight, featuring abundant cabinet space, a walk-in pantry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances—including a new refrigerator (2023)—a breakfast bar, and a cozy breakfast nook nestled into a bay window.

The HVAC system was replaced in 2019, ensuring efficiency and comfort.
