Nature and wildlife, this home is a gardener's paradise!

All the major systems have been replaced - Whole house RE-PLUMBED including NEW WATER HEATER - Sept. 2022, NEW POOL PUMP Oct. 2022, NEW ROOF 2015, NEW AC UNITS 2014 and 2017, & NEW SEPTIC TANK/DRAINFIELD 2018. The 2nd floor master bedroom with sitting area and bathroom are a quiet oasis with a private balcony overlooking the pool. Imagine sitting on the balcony watching the sunrise over the lake each morning. The main living areas are located on the first floor, and the secondary bedrooms and bathroom are on the lowest level, only 3 steps down from the first floor. This open floor plan is fantastic for entertaining with a huge family room and sun room, both with soaring, earth toned, cedar tongue in groove ceilings and dark rustic beam accents. The lofty ceilings are complemented by a two story stack stone accent wall and matching stack stone trimmed wood burning fireplace. The sun/bonus room provides additional space for relaxing with plenty of natural light from the numerous large windows and contrasting dark bamboo wood flooring. There is no carpet anywhere in the home; instead you'll enjoy the low maintenance ceramic tile in the living areas and bamboo wood floors in the living room/home office, master bedroom and sun room. All the bedrooms have generous sized closets and ceiling fans with lights. The guest bathroom was updated in 2016 with a double vanity, sinks/faucets, toilet, and tiled shower/tub area. An inviting gourmet eat-in kitchen offers elegant 36 inch cabinets with pantry storage, roll out drawers, granite counter tops, tiled back splash, stainless steel appliances, under cabinet & recessed lighting. A large formal dining room is next to the kitchen. The huge backyard is absolutely perfect for pool parties and BBQ's with an enormous screened pool. There’s a "catwalk" for your feline friends, raised pool deck for extra seating and two open brick patio areas. The larger brick patio even has a brick fire pit for marshmallow roasting. A greenhouse, large storage shed with power, a platform tree house with tire swing, and a tower play set are also included. Step over the seawall and wander down to the lake where you can launch a canoe or kayak from the small wood dock, or toss in a line to see if the fish are biting. Explore the fully irrigated front and backyards where you'll find multiple plant species including clumping black bamboo, Jatropha, milkweed, porter weed, hummingbird vine and trumpet, passion flowers, pagoda plants, coral and oak trees, palms, jasmine, and plumeria. The butterflies, birds, squirrels and native wildlife are frequent visitors. Sit in the spacious living room/office and watch the birds and squirrels feeding and playing for hours. The septic tank and drain field are located in the cleared area of the front yard and the natural front yard landscaping requires little mowing. In the backyard, the seawall separates the home from the HOA owned lakefront and the homeowner has trimmed fallen trees & brush to maintain the beautiful lake views. The front yard stretches almost to the center of the end of the cul-de-sac. Fantastic Dr. Phillips Restaurant Row, shopping, schools, theme parks and the Butler chain of lakes are within minutes!
