It’s always about the view and this outstanding Rivendell residence bordering Oscar Scherer State Park has a breathtaking vantage point with lake and natural preserve. New tile roof in summer of 2026 as well as exterior paint. Charles Rutenberg Princeton floor plan. The lines are blurred between indoor and outdoor living, with a spacious lanai and a sparkling solar heated pool. Marvel at the wildlife: a menagerie of eagles, osprey, cranes, other shore birds, otters, turtles and deer. Impressive palms and lush landscaping add to the curb appeal with a 3-car garage with paver driveway. Every detail in this home is addressed with remarkable style including double door entry, vaulted deep 11-foot and 13-foot tray ceiling, crown molding, transom windows, 8-foot doorways, and plantation shutters and all have been immaculately maintained. The kitchen is spacious in design with wood cabinetry, built-in double oven, cooktop, Corian counters, and sizable breakfast bar. The kitchen dining area has wide open views thru aquarium windows. The owner’s suite features dual walk-in closets and a luxurious bathroom with dual sinks, garden tub, walk-in shower + direct pool and lanai access. The den/office has a double-door entry. Two bedrooms on the opposite side have large closets. On a practical note: new AC in 2024 and 2 new hot water heaters in 2026. Rivendell community has an award-winning, well-maintained, park-like setting with 380 acres of lakes, preserves, parks and other open spaces, quiet tree-lined streets with sidewalks, walking path, tot-lot, gazebo and large, heated community pool. Ideally located near the top-rated Pine View School, the Legacy Bike Trail, restaurants, beaches, boat and kayak launches, Publix grocery, plus coffee shop, gym, Pilates and more. For those that seek an exceptional waterfront lifestyle, nothing compares. Low HOA fees without CDD fees.
