Description

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. If you're looking for breathtaking sunsets and gorgeous lake scenery, look no further. Tucked into the back of a gated community, the Preserve at Lake Thomas, this remarkable home offers the perfect blend of privacy and natural beauty. With almost 180' of frontage on Lake Thomas, the panorama will not disappoint. The private dock includes two lifts, shaded seating, and even ladders to get in and out of the crystal clear spring-fed lake. Imagine spending your mornings sipping coffee on the dock, watching herons glide across the glassy water, or spending your afternoons carving across the lake on skis with friends. As the day winds down, the sandy beach and lakeside seating area become the perfect spot to soak up one of those legendary Florida sunsets. Arriving at the home, you're greeted by a grand circular driveway and a side-entry three-car garage, setting the tone for the elegance that awaits inside. The double door entryway opens into a bright, open dining and living room, where patio doors frame a stunning view of the lake beyond. To the right is a spacious office with floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves, a full pool bath, and the primary suite. From the primary bedroom, you'll wake up to breathtaking views of the pool and lake. The primary bathroom includes lots of natural light, expansive counter space, a jetted tub, and an oversized shower. To the left of the entryway is the open kitchen with breakfast space and snack bar, along with the family room and three bedrooms. The family room has open views of the lake, a fireplace, a built-in TV console, and sliding patio doors leading to the pool. At the back of the house is a generously sized bedroom, again framing gorgeous scenery of the lake, and a full bathroom. This area has a pocket slider and would serve wonderfully as an in-law suite. The other two bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom, and both have walk-in closets and a bay window. Just off the kitchen, the spacious laundry room has a large closet, generous cabinet storage, and ample counter space. Upstairs, a spacious loft overlooks the family room, complete with a wet bar and even more waterfront scenery to take in. The home also features a central vacuum system for easy everyday living and a whole-house surge protector for added peace of mind. Outside, owners will take in the expansive screened pool area with a spillover heated spa and shaded areas for relaxing throughout the day. The grounds have been well thought out with a walking path to a seating area to soak up the sunsets and a sandy beach. This home encompasses two lots to enjoy the best scenery and privacy on this 165-acre ski lake.
