Property Description
Experience lakeside luxury in this meticulously maintained, 2017-built home by Integrity Builders. From the moment you arrive, the elegant paver entrance and manicured landscaping set the stage for a residence that balances sophistication with everyday comfort. The heart of the home features a seamless living and dining room combo adorned with stunning wood flooring, flowing into a gourmet kitchen designed for the modern chef. You'll find soft-close cabinetry, a dedicated computer desk area, and brand-new LG stainless steel appliances that make both meal prep and "work-from-home" life a breeze. The thoughtful 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom split floor plan offers privacy and high-end finishes throughout, including newly installed carpet in the bedrooms. Retreat to the primary suite, a true sanctuary boasting a huge walk-in closet and a spa-inspired ensuite complete with a jetted tub. Functional upgrades abound, including a whole-house water softener, a dedicated laundry room with a utility sink (washer and dryer included), and full gutters around the exterior. Outdoor living is where this property truly shines. Relax in your enclosed lanai or step out into the fully fenced backyard that leads directly to your private, fenced dock on Lake Carter. Whether you're fishing at sunset or enjoying the water views, this is Florida living at its finest. Best of all, the $170 HOA fee provides a low-maintenance lifestyle by covering grass cutting and fertilization, while granting access to the community pool-which even includes one free rental once a year for your private events!
