413 RACCOON STREET

This incredible recently renovated home exudes casual elegance and the overwhelming desire to entertain family and friends, thanks to an amazing outdoor living space purpose-built for the enjoyment of Florida living behind the private gates of Lake Mary's best-kept secret: the community of Preserve at Soldiers Creek, situated within the most desirable school zone for all ages. The term "outdoor kitchen" simply fails to describe the elevated lifestyle the alfresco café brings to this home. The centerpieces of attention are the stone-wrapped 48-inch wood-fired pizza oven and large center island. An enormous built-in 80K BTU grill, powerful 60K BTU power/wok burner, a well-appreciated dual-tap kegerator, large utility sink and refrigerator provide all the tools for endless outdoor entertainment. Inside this spacious four bedroom, five bath home, we also find a separate office (possible bedroom five) and a hall study/work area, all enjoying wood-plank tile flooring. The large master suite encompasses the east side of the home, and a large bonus room with an en-suite full bath is found upstairs. Another chef's dream area is the kitchen, complete with built-in refrigeration, gas cooktop, built-in wall ovens, dual sinks, center island and plenty of countertop space, all overlooking the eat-in nook and family rooms. Lutron lighting and automatic window shades are easily controlled by a smartphone or built-in wall tablet. Highly efficient and timelessly-styled Big Ass Fans® are found throughout, and a new 2021 roof with 50-year shingles protects it all. Endless hot water is provided by a newer gas tankless hot water heater found in the oversized three-car garage. The Preserve at Soldiers Creek is located in the heart of Lake Mary. Lake Mary has consistently ranked in the top 5 of the best small towns in the USA by multiple sources, including CNN Money, thanks to its impressive schools and strategic location granting access to a wealth of nearby outdoor activities, including golf and country clubs, walking and hiking trails and easy access to both the attractions and the beaches.
