HARD TO FIND WATERFRONT HOME situated in a quiet SE Lakeland gated community. You will delight in the spacious Rutenberg plan home which features three large bedrooms, each with direct access to a full bathroom and walk-in closet, plus TWO flex rooms to be used as extra bedrooms/office/den/craft/media rooms, an open plan with great room and dining areas with fireplace which flow seamlessly into the kitchen and casual dining area. PLUS, kitchen duty will never be a chore because of the gas (propane) range, tremendous amount of cabinet and counter prep space and water views from the large bank of windows. This 3-way split bedroom plan assures everyone a bit of privacy. Recent upgrades include new exterior paint, new interior paint in some areas, dual HVAC systems (installed in 2018 & 2024), new garage door opener plus a host of other miscellaneous items. Best of all are the stunning views of Lake Victoria with the morning sun sparkling over the water and the beautiful colors of the evening sunset reflecting back toward you at dusk. There is a wonderful in-ground Pebble-Tec salt-water pool & spa with paver decking all around, multicolor lighting system and the pool cage was rescreened in 2021, covered lanai area all designed to make you feel relaxed at any time of the day. There is also an in-ground propane 120-gal propane tank to feed pool & spa heater and cooktop, lush landscaping that is irrigated by a refurbished system with new Rainbird timer system (installed in 2023), central vacuum system (never used and not warranted) and the was roof replaced in 2019. The electrical usage (average 12-months) was just $240 which speaks well to the overall energy efficiency. Truly this home is a hidden gem but still convenient to so much of what makes Lakeland so special.
