Opportunities like this rarely come available in the gated Lakewood community. This beautifully updated lakefront pool home sits on a private one-acre lot and offers breathtaking sunset views across Lake Otis from your own backyard. Spend your evenings relaxing on the dock as the sun sets over the water, launch a kayak from the built-in racks, or enjoy weekends boating right from your covered dock. The backyard is designed for Florida living with a resurfaced pool, spacious screened patio, and incredible water views. Inside, the home offers 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, including a highly desirable layout with two primary suites—one upstairs and one downstairs, perfect for guests or multi-generational living. Major updates provide peace of mind, including a new roof, two HVAC systems, new water heater, new flooring, and new carpet. The home also features all new double-pane impact windows and sliding doors, a newly resurfaced and retiled pool, and a new covered dock with kayak storage. The irrigation system pulls directly from the lake, so watering your lawn is never restricted by city water rules. Recent improvements include a re-screened patio, new gutters, new garage door, and a new privacy fence, making this home move-in ready. Imagine ending every day watching the sunset over Lake Otis from your own backyard. Homes like this rarely come on the market—schedule your private showing before it’s gone.
