Property Description

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Perfectly positioned on a premium lakefront homesite in VillageWalk, this expanded Oakmont model offers 2,201 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, blending comfort, functionality, and effortless Florida living. From the moment you step inside, the home feels elevated yet inviting, with luxury vinyl flooring flowing throughout and a custom stone accent wall with an electric fireplace creating a warm focal point in the main living area. The open layout is enhanced by soaring ceilings and seamless indoor-outdoor connection, leading to an oversized screened lanai with tranquil water views, updated with new screening in 2023—an ideal setting for both quiet mornings and evening entertaining. The kitchen has been tastefully updated to balance style and practicality, featuring expanded quartz countertops, a modern tile backsplash, reconfigured cabinetry for optimal storage, and stainless steel appliances, including a newer refrigerator (2024) and dishwasher (2026).

Additional functional enhancements such as a circulating pump on the hot water heater and a thoughtfully designed laundry room with added storage further elevate the home’s livability. Even the garage has been upgraded to maximize utility, featuring an epoxied floor, built-in workbench, custom storage solutions, a secondary refrigerator, and access to floored attic storage.
