The expansive living room is designed around the WATER VIEWS and features custom built-ins, an impressive fireplace/entertainment wall and large sliders opening to the screened waterfront lanai. Step outside and embrace the Lake Suzy lifestyle, where the expansive freshwater lake allows boating right from your backyard-perfect for leisurely sunset cruises, peaceful days on the water, and fishing just steps from home. Upstairs, the primary suite is a destination of its own with expansive lake views, private outdoor living, a spectacular spa-inspired bathroom with dual vanities and an oversized custom shower, plus an incredible boutique-style walk-in closet with extensive built-in cabinetry and display storage. Two additional bedrooms and a beautifully updated guest bath provide plenty of room for family and visitors. Outdoor living is equally impressive with multiple screened and covered spaces overlooking Lake Suzy and a massive custom metal waterfront dock providing an incredible place to relax, entertain and take in the peaceful surroundings. Wake up to GORGEOUS SUNRISES shimmering across the lake and enjoy wide, unobstructed water views from multiple areas of the home. Major improvements include a NEW ROOF IN 2022, TWO A/C SYSTEMS, updated electrical, smart energy-efficient water heater and approximately $80,000 invested in ENERGY EFFICIENT IMPACT WINDOWS AND SLIDERS. SMART HOME TECHNOLOGY provides convenient control of lighting, climate and other features throughout the residence.
