Few homes capture the day quite like this one. The north-facing lanai frames soft morning sunrises and warm sunsets while its orientation naturally provides both sunny and shady spots simultaneously throughout the entire day. Step through the pocket sliders onto the covered lanai to a private, heated pool with an integrated cleaning system, overlooking the lake with clear sightlines to the par-three fourth green - the perfect backdrop for a quiet moment or grilling dinner for friends and family. All high-cost structural and mechanical updates are complete in this solid Waterlefe Golf & River Club residence, featuring a new roof (2024), two new HVAC systems (2025), and a new pool cage screen enclosure and pool surface - plus an expanded paver driveway. Located in a premier guard-gated community, this property offers a reliable structural foundation, allowing you to focus your attention entirely on making this house your own home. Double entry doors open into a bright, wide-set floor plan built with coffered ceilings, crown molding, window fashions framing the front of the home, and a dedicated home office alongside an independent formal dining room. The kitchen and family room layout provides an open footprint for daily living or entertaining, while the split floor plan positions the primary suite on its own side of the house with direct lanai access. Curb appeal enhanced by a side load 3-car garage with epoxy flooring and an expanded paver driveway anchor the curb appeal along with the extensive landscape lighting.
