A rare opportunity to own a custom-updated lakefront residence on nearly an acre with a fully fenced backyard, over $130K in high-end upgrades, and exclusive access to a private 14-acre lake. Nestled in a quiet gated community with NO CDD fees and NO FLOOD INSURANCE required, the property also includes 2 acres of deeded access to Hart Lake—perfect for bass fishing, kayaking, or exploring by electric boat, just steps from your backyard. Inside, 12-foot ceilings and graceful archways frame a layout designed for comfort and effortless living. A custom-built coffee and cocktail bar anchors the entryway with smoke-black cabinetry, floating shelves, brass hardware, and a built-in beverage fridge—equally suited for morning espresso or evening gatherings. The chef’s kitchen pairs elevated finishes with intuitive functionality. Quartz countertops, marble backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, and custom shaker cabinetry complement an oversized island with storage, built-in dog bowl station, and appliance garage.

The kitchen flows seamlessly to the living area and breakfast nook, with tranquil views of the pool and lake. The split floor plan includes four main-level bedrooms, three full bathrooms (including a dedicated pool bath), a formal dining room, and a private office with closet. The primary suite offers a private retreat with two walk-in closets, a spa-style jetted tub, dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and direct access to the screened lanai. Upstairs, a spacious bonus room provides flexible living space—ideal as a media room, home gym, guest suite, or future fifth bedroom with en suite potential.
