Property Description
Experience timeless elegance and exceptional craftsmanship in this custom-built John Karel residence located within the prestigious Laurel Oak Country Club. Privately positioned on more than half an acre with 108 feet of lake frontage, this 3,900-square-foot home captures serene water views from nearly every room and offers the perfect blend of sophistication and modern livability. Meticulously updated and enhanced throughout; every element has been elevated to today's highest standards.
A circular drive and manicured landscaping introduce the home's welcoming architecture, while a double-door entry opens to expansive living spaces with luxury vinyl flooring, high ceilings, crown molding, and abundant natural light. The open floor plan creates seamless flow between the great room, dining area, and the well-appointed kitchen—ideal for entertaining or casual gatherings.
The chef's kitchen is equipped with custom European cabinetry, a large center island, stone counters, breakfast bar, Bosch Benchmark Series stainless appliances including built-in oven and gas range, farmhouse sink, and newly designed walk-in pantry. The adjacent family room features pocketing sliding glass doors that open to the covered lanai, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living.
The primary suite serves as a private retreat with tranquil lake views, a generous walk-in closet with custom shelving system, and spa-inspired bath featuring Brizo Black Onyx Chrome finishes, walk-in shower with bench seating, and private water closet. Three additional bedrooms, including an en-suite guest room and a Jack-and-Jill configuration, provide comfort for family and guests alike. A dedicated office enhances functionality for remote work or quiet study.
Step outside to the panoramic newly screened lanai where a freshly resurfaced heated pool, spa, and outdoor kitchen invite year-round relaxation. The covered patio is ideal for al fresco dining, while the full lake view delivers a peaceful backdrop. The extensive list of recent improvements include a new metal roof, impact windows and doors, electric hurricane screens on entire lanai, resurfaced pool and spa, whole-house generator, 500-gallon buried propane tank, two new A/C units with ultra violet technology, tankless water heater, and water filtration system. All new window coverings, light fixtures and solid wood interior doors. All bathrooms have been updated and include Amorho touch mirrors. New driveway and walkway pavers and new irrigation system plus entire yard newly landscaped. Take comfort knowing this is a like-new home and ready for your immediate enjoyment.
