Looking for a newer built custom home, on 1/2 an acre, with an optional HOA and a privately fenced yard, in an established, high end community, which is also minutes from Lakes Hollingsworth and downtown Lakeland, then, welcome home! This craftsman inspired home has beautiful curb appeal and lots of space, inside and out. The warm hardwood floors are very inviting, and flow throughout the entire home. The very tall, flat ceilings (some with trays), and ample windows make the spaces feel even more open and airy. The formal dining area is perfect for Christmas dinners and is conveniently located next to the gourmet kitchen. If you love to cook and entertain, the wide open kitchen and great room design is to die for, and includes high end finishes and appliances - don't forget to check out the drawer microwave in the island! There is also a double sided, gas fireplace (one side opens to the great room and one side to the rear lanai!) The gorgeous, rustic, barn door into the spacious, walk-in-pantry, is a very nice focal point, and conversation starter. There is a study/den by the foyer which is ideal for at-home-work or home schooling activities. It could also easily be converted into bedroom 5. The mother-in-law area at the back right of the home has a separate, shower only bathroom, hallway grab bar, and well sized, private bedroom. Bedrooms 3 and 4 have lots of closet space (both have one or more walk-ins), are separate from the master and mother-in-law area, and have a larger hall bath next door, featuring 2 sinks in a large vanity, and tub/shower combo. The bonus room up stairs is very large, currently has "gym" flooring installed, is nice and cold in the AC, and could easily be used for another living room, play room, office, home school, gym, movie room, or additional bedroom. The laundry room is very long and has some special features like the built in sink with cabinets, and 2 dryer hook ups with separate vents for those with lots of clothes (or sports uniforms!). We left the best for last, the master retreat. Relax in the soaking tub at the end of a hard day, or take a long, hot shower in the oversized stall. The 2 separate walk in closets come with storage armors and have plenty of space for clothes and more. The master bedroom is privately situated at the far left of the home, in the triple-split design, and offers enough room for your king sized bed and furniture. The garage is massive, has three separate doors with remotes, has plenty of space for vehicles, fridges, freezers and storage. If you're a garage person, the possibilities are endless. The back, covered lanai is a wonderful place to read, have a drink and enjoy the sunsets. There is a secluded dog run on the right side of the home with gates at the front and rear of the compound. The back yard is also fully fenced, with plenty of space to store boats, trailers and your other toys. Finally, the neighborhood is gorgeous, is basically one, dead-end street, and has very little traffic indeed. You don't want to miss out, request a showing today! PS. The home has been lovingly lived in and needs a little TLC with regards to paint, drywall and trim touchups in some areas.
