Virtually Staged. Welcome to your ultimate lakeside maintenance free sanctuary! Seller is offering Roof Credit to buyer. This home is nestled in a premier community renowned for its top-rated gifted school district, this expanded floor plan in the Willow Bend Community offers 2,183 square feet of meticulously designed, sun-drenched living space with high ceilings, crown molding, and ceiling fans. Boasting 50 feet of lakefront views, the property features a North-facing orientation, allowing you to bask in the desirable southern rear exposure from your covered lanai with a retractable awning, sparkling pool, or soothing spa with a cascading waterfall—all without the harsh glare of direct sun. Through the glass paned front doors into an open-concept haven defined by a neutral color palette that acts as a blank canvas for your personal decor. Porcelain tile floors flow seamlessly through the common areas, while beautiful, warm hardwood floors bring comfort and sophistication to the bedrooms. Flooded with natural light, the main living areas feature large windows equipped with remote-controlled custom Hunter Douglas blinds for effortless light management. Just beyond the formal living and dining areas is the heart of the home in the inspired kitchen that serves as the perfect entertainment hub and a breakfast dinette area that overlooks the pool and spa. It features a counter top that flows into the main living room and the vibrant pool deck, sleek quartz countertops, and premium stainless steel appliances. Cooking appliances are electric, but you do have the option of installing gas if preferred. Pantry shelving is equipped with pull-outs. Working from home is a luxury in the oversized office/study, completely outfitted with a custom built-in desk and extensive shelving and drawers. The primary suite is a true homeowner's retreat, generously scaled to comfortably fit a king-sized bed, nightstands, and a dedicated sitting area. It offers two spacious walk-in closets and a spa-like ensuite bathroom complete with a water closet, a deep soaking tub, a glass-enclosed shower, and two separate vanities packed with storage. The two additional bedrooms are equally impressive, each featuring large windows and substantial closet space. Peace of mind and efficiency are built right into this structurally sound property. The majority of the windows and doors are hurricane-rated, supplemented by heavy-duty accordion shutters for the lanai sliding doors. Living here means enjoying a low-maintenance, resort-style lifestyle. The comprehensive HOA fee conveniently covers lawn care maintenance, high-speed internet, basic cable TV, and irrigation water. Beyond your front door, the neighborhood provides access to fantastic family amenities, including tennis, pickleball and basketball courts, a fully equipped workout center, a community pool & spa, and a playground.
