One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. The heart of this home, its spectacular lakeside setting, is a haven of calm with a panoramic and recently installed and non-obstructive huge, screened lanai, paver brick flooring. Dual sliding glass doors glide effortlessly from the kitchen and great room, unifying the home's indoor and outdoor living areas. At 1,980 sq. ft under air, the versatility of the floor plan is highlighted with recessed decorative lighting, volume ceilings and built-in cabinetry in various rooms. The great room with soaring ceilings has a built-in entertainment center. The kitchen has been finished with hardwood cabinets, stone counter breakfast bar, built-in buffet, and under counter beverage fridge. Similarly, a large study contains a wall of built-in shelving/drawers/desk and a closet which provides the flexibility as a 3rd bedroom. There is a separate dining room, while the breakfast room is directly accessible to the lanai. The primary bedroom en-suite has 2 closets (1 walk-thru), intelligently remodeled with a frameless glass shower, whirlpool tub, stone counters, dual sinks, and toilet closet. The private guest bedroom boasts a walk-in closet, while the 2nd bathroom has stone counters. Freshly painted and recently re-landscaped with a paver brick front walkway and screened entrance. Together with lawn maintenance, high-speed internet and expanded cable service, residents enjoy a vibrant lifestyle with 27 holes of semi-private golf, full social membership at the club, an active women's association with over 45 groups, fitness, grill room and dining/event facilities, tennis, pickleball, heated pool, and 24/7 guard house.
