Why pay extra for a “renovated” home when someone else’s DIY is DIUgly? Have fun creating your own masterpiece in this 3/2, nearly 2,000 sq ft. gem. Custom built 35 years ago, this one-owner home is filled with tranquility and style. Minor cosmetic updates are all that are needed to make this well-designed, well-built, well-maintained lovely home SHINE in 2024! Cathedral ceilings and oversized vinyl, double-paned windows throughout make this pleasant floor plan beautiful in every direction you look. Nestled between Lake Louise and a quiet cul-de-sac, this premium lot boasts DECADES of professional landscaping unmatchable for interest, beauty, shade, and privacy which is now SUPER LOW-MAINTENANCE (no irrigation needed!) This home also boasts several recent mechanical upgrades: new roof, aluminum soffits and facia boards, HVAC and water heater with transferable warranties, all AC duct-work cleaned and re-insulated ... the boring expensive things have been completed, giving you YEARS of peace of mind to come. The foyer and living room have full-sized windows and lead to a large screened-in porch, all viewing the lake. A double-sided fireplace with glass doors, a wet bar, add visual appeal and entertaining opportunities. The eat-in kitchen has room can accommodate a formal table for eight and boasts a large island seating five. The oak cabinetry custom-built 35 years ago is presently unmatchable in durability and quality, and can be easily painted to today’s design standards. There is also a pantry closet, and a separate laundry room which leads to the garage.The original dining room beautifully lends itself to a sizable and separate home office with fireplace and arched windows.The large primary bedroom suite has a grand view of the lake, a double-vanity, large oval tub with separate glassed-in shower, a linen cupboard, and a huge walk-in closet. The split floor plan offers two additional bedrooms separate from the primary bedroom suite for privacy, large enough for queen-size beds, have large windows, full-size closets, and a charming bathroom between them with a linen closet. The gardens have also had some recent updates - recent tree work, 6-foot permitted privacy fencing with large gates and hidden latches. There is RV parking behind the fence, a tool shed, storage shed, and a two-car finished garage for all of your storage needs. There is also a private well with pump head in the tool shed. Also included are custom-built, easy-install hurricane panels for every window and door. There is also room for a DOCK if the new steward of this property chooses to build one! Mature Oaks, Palms, Magnolias, Bougainvillea, Camellia, Rhododendron, climbing Jasmine, Crepe Myrtles, Schefflera, giant Elephant-ears, ground covers of blue Plumbago, five producing-Orange trees, and many other delights make this property a lush, third-of-an-acre adventure of beautiful and private shaded walking pathways, each with a different view. This property is also an oasis to wildlife not usually seen in a developed area. A pair of Sandhill cranes nest here each year and the babies grow up walking around in the back yard. Large turtles come up in the spring and lay eggs with baby turtles hatching a phenomenon to behold. A family of wild bunnies have been here for many years and are a delight to watch...and the fondly-dubbed “neighborhood clean up committee” of beautiful white Ibis come through the property twice each day. This is a rare opportunity - don't miss it!
