Bring your boat, your RV, and all your other toys! This custom-built home on a private island in Lake Griffin has room for it all. This beautifully crafted four-bedroom, three-bath home with a private dock and direct access to the Harris Chain of Lakes is a must-see. The pictures do not do it justice. This home is a true retreat located on a gated, private island with few other homes. This uniquely designed home, with its concrete block first floor and steel-frame second and third floors, is built to withstand the fiercest of Florida hurricanes. Far more than $100,000 has been spent on renovations in the last couple of years, not counting the owner's own work. Don't worry; he is a skilled craftsman, not a DIY person. To mention a few of the renovations: In 2023, the roof was replaced with a "100-year" commercial-grade metal roof, and the HVAC system was replaced. The home has been totally rewired, and new electric panels have been installed. All exterior wood has been meticulously renovated and painted fresh, modern colors. The 1.38 tree-lined lot offers a tranquil and private living space with plenty of room for a pool. This private sanctuary boasts rustic contemporary architecture and double wrap-around porches, offering breathtaking views and endless entertainment possibilities. Inside, you'll be captivated by the sunlit open floor plan, where soaring two-story vaulted wood ceilings and elegant wood flooring set the stage. Expansive windows and sophisticated wood accent walls frame a cozy wood-burning stove, inviting you to curl up with a good book or engage in lively conversation. The heart of this home is the kitchen, where your inner chef can flourish amidst stainless steel appliances and wood cabinetry. Let the festivities spill outdoors onto one of the two impressive wrap-around porches, enjoying the mesmerizing views. Retreat to the primary bedroom on the top floor, with ample closet space and a beautiful en suite. The top floor houses one additional bedroom and a modern full bathroom. The main floor houses the third bedroom with plenty of storage space. This bedroom would also make a perfect home office. The lower level offers a bedroom and full bathroom-ideal for an in-law suite, private guest suite, or next-gen living. For the hobbyist or classic car collector, a detached four-car workshop garage and attached two-car garage - for a total of 6 garage spaces - provides generous room for parking, your projects, and storage. Bring your RV and boat; there is plenty of room for both. Just 57 miles from Downtown Orlando and a stone's throw away from The Villages, this magical home offers the perfect balance of serene lake living and convenient access to shopping, dining, entertainment, and schools. Did we mention the low HOA fees? What are you waiting for, come see this home today and fall in love. |
