About this home

A LAKEFRONT POOL HOME DESIGNED TO ENDURE. A LAKESIDE SETTING DESIGNED FOR LIVING. Here, the door opens. The home changes. The light, the pool, the lake become part of the room. The leaded glass door closes. This is the moment the house begins to feel like home. Where sophistication meets sanctuary. The world outside is left behind. The pool becomes your own private horizon. The lake becomes your backdrop with evening western sunset skies. A gracious central plan. Cathedral and high ceilings. Living and dining spaces introduce understated elegance, while glass-lined spaces draw western light and lake views deeper into the home. The home continues to unfold. The kitchen reflects a thoughtful mid-century modern influence, with clean lines, flat-panel cabinetry, warm finishes and a generous island designed with granite counters for both everyday life and entertaining. The counter pass-through slider window opens directly to the outdoor living area as well as the Breakfast nook with its own set of sliding glass doors. The family room becomes the center of everyday life. A wood-burning fireplace and dry bar create a natural place for gathering and entertaining or your quiet retreat. Seamless Outdoor Living & Dining are balanced by shade or the open air along the lake’s edge extended patio. The expansive screened lanai is where Florida living becomes just the way you imagined it—morning coffee begins the day, an afternoon dip offers relief from the heat, and dinner lingers long after the sun sets beyond the lake, before the day gently wraps up with a relaxing float on the water. Here, everyday life unfolds at its own rhythm. The primary suite retreat has south and west-facing exposure, with west-facing glass panel sliders to provide direct access to the pool and lake. The intelligent split-wing design layout keeps the secondary bedrooms comfortably separate, creating privacy or a perfect setup for multigenerational living. Six strategically placed solar tubes draw natural daylight into the main living areas, transforming the interior during the day and becoming softly illuminated architectural elements after sunset. The three-car garage is equally intentional. Its scale helps create the home's strong, composed street presence, while behind the façade is exceptional utility: a workshop, storage and an adjacent shaded open-air area providing additional room for work, recreation, storage or parking. Beneath it all is peace of mind. Two HVAC systems (2020, 2022). Two water heaters (2018, 2023). A proposed new roof, with three skylights to be replaced before closing. Whole-house water softener/UV system. Impact windows (DR & KIT). Outside the AE flood zone; no additional flood insurance required. The community has tennis, pickleball, a playground, dog park, lake access for small rowboats, small sailboats or canoes, a fishing pier for catch and release, and available on-site RV/boat storage. No CDD fees. The location puts Weeki Wachee Springs, Gulf Coast beaches, state parks, and major metro access within easy reach. *** Unrepresented buyers may be entitled to a discount.
