One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Breathtaking views greet you when you enter the front door of this beautifully maintained 4 bedroom, 3 bath home. Situated on possibly the best lot in gated Oakleaf Hammock your views of the one of the largest lakes in the neighborhood bordered by the preserve are unequaled. After your stunning first impression of the view, you can then truly see the grandeur of the rest of the home. Soaring cathedral ceilings supported by custom millwork columns frame the space perfectly. The marble like porcelain tile on the diagonal speak to the quality of the rest of the home. Entertaining guests is easy in the chef’s kitchen with stainless steel appliances, newer refrigerator and dishwasher and travertine floors. The kitchen is open to the family room and large breakfast nook with an aquarium window viewing the lake and its beauty. This home also takes advantage of the best of Florida. The very oversize lanai includes almost 25×28 ft of covered outside space. Want to get away? The owner’s suite features a spa like en-suite bath with dual vanities, sinks, garden spa tub and walk in shower. Escape to the lanai whenever you choose from the private entrance from the suite. There is another bedroom on the first floor that could be an office or an in-law apartment. Two separate bedrooms on the second floor allow privacy for everyone in the home. A bonus room can be a study, game room or gym. No basement? No problem. There is storage galore including the three-car garage. Great outdoors can be enjoyed on this oversized lot with two outdoor oases where you enjoy more views of the lake. The home features a sprinkler system with community water, hurricane shutters, new compressor in A/C, new water heater, water softener, extra insulation in the attic, new carpet upstairs, and impeccable landscape. Oakleaf Hammock is close to everything.
