Property Description
There's something about entering Lake Caroline that instantly softens the edges of the day. The gates close behind you, the trees line the roads, and life feels just a little more intentional. Now imagine pulling into a home that not only offers space inside - but space outside too. This 4-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on a rare double lot, giving you room to breathe in a neighborhood where that matters. With over 1,700 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, plus extra land surrounding you, this property delivers both comfort and presence. Inside, the open floor plan creates the flow today's buyers crave. The kitchen opens seamlessly into the main living area, making everyday life and entertaining effortless. Natural light moves easily through the space, giving the home an airy, welcoming energy. Four true bedrooms provide flexibility - whether you need guest space, a home office, or room to grow. The primary suite offers privacy and ease, while the additional bedrooms keep everyone comfortably connected. Step outside and the lifestyle continues. A covered front porch invites slow mornings and evening conversations. Around back, the covered rear deck expands your living space year-round - perfect for grilling, gathering, or simply unwinding in your own backyard retreat. The two-car garage adds the practicality everyone appreciates - storage, workspace, or keeping the elements where they belong. And the double lot? That's the bonus most buyers wish for. More yard, more privacy, more potential. Whether you envision outdoor entertaining, play space, a garden, or simply enjoying the buffer around you - this is land you don't have to share. All of it tucked inside Lake Caroline - a gated community built around a private lake with beaches, pool, clubhouse, trails, and year-round events. More space. More flexibility. More breathing room. This isn't just a house - it's room to live fully, inside and out.
