Nestled on nearly two acres of property, this beautifully updated three-bedroom, two-bathroom home combines modern comfort with serene natural surroundings. A charming front porch overlooks the water with unobstructed, south-facing views—ideal for savoring both sunrise and sunset across the lake. Inside, the open-concept single-story layout features tile floors throughout the main living areas and carpet in all three bedrooms. A floor-to-ceiling bay window off the kitchen floods the home with natural light and showcases the panoramic lake views, while sliding glass doors lead to a large, fenced backyard designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen featuring a large island with bar seating, granite countertops, updated stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, soft-close cabinetry, and a second prep sink—an entertainer’s dream. Large master suite and two additional oversized bedrooms and a large second bathroom offer ample space for family or guests. The home also includes a welcoming living room, a cozy family room with a wood-burning fireplace, and a separate laundry room for convenience. Extensive updates and improvements make this home move-in ready and worry-free. A new roof was installed in October 2022, the property underwent a complete remodel in 2016—including a new kitchen layout, lighting, flooring, appliances, and fully renovated bathrooms—and a new well was added in November 2022. The home received new fencing and gate, freshly painted exterior and interior in November 2025. The beachfront was also cleared in 2025, ensuring direct and easy access to the lake. Mature pine and oak trees surround the home, offering both shade and privacy, creating a true Florida oasis where nature and comfort come together perfectly
