One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Over 4,000 square feet on a rare .45 acre lot with no rear neighbors inside a gated Apopka community. This home delivers space, privacy, and a layout built for real life. Located in the gated Lakeside community, this property stands out with a deep backyard, tree-lined views, and no homes behind you, giving you a level of privacy that is hard to find. The covered lanai and extended outdoor space create the perfect setup for cookouts, relaxing evenings, and entertaining without feeling boxed in. Inside, the home opens up with soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and natural light throughout. Wood look tile flooring runs through the main living areas, and the open concept design allows everything to flow while still giving each space purpose. The kitchen anchors the home with 42 inch cabinetry, farmhouse sink, expansive island, GE appliances, and a French door refrigerator, all positioned to connect seamlessly with the main living area and large dining space, making it ideal for hosting. Near the front of the home, a dedicated office provides a true work from home setup, separate from the main living areas for privacy and focus. The first floor primary suite is a true retreat, offering a spacious bedroom with plenty of room for a sitting area, nursery, or private workspace, giving you flexibility beyond just a place to sleep. The ensuite bathroom is expansive, featuring separate vanities, a garden tub, a walk in shower, and an oversized walk in closet, creating both comfort and functionality. Function continues with a separate laundry room that includes extra cabinetry, hanging storage, and convenient under staircase storage, giving you practical space that most homes overlook. Upstairs expands the home even further with three additional bedrooms, including Jack and Jill bedrooms, plus another full bathroom. A large loft creates a second living area, while a separate media room offers a true bonus space for movies, gaming, or a private retreat. This layout adapts easily for growing households, multigenerational living, or anyone needing multiple flexible spaces. Additional features include cove ceilings, custom lighting, overhead garage storage, whole house gutters, and a RainSoft whole home water filtration and softening system. Lakeside offers gated access along with a resort style pool, playground, parks, and a two acre amenity area with limited access boat ramp. Conveniently located near SR 429 and SR 414, you have quick access to Downtown Orlando, Maitland, and surrounding areas while staying close to Wekiwa Springs, shopping, and dining. Zoned for Apopka Elementary, Wolf Lake Middle, and Apopka High School. Homes with this lot size, privacy, and square footage inside a gated community are limited. This one gives you the space to live, work, and entertain without compromise.
