About this home
Imagine waking up just steps from the peaceful beauty of Lake Istokpoga—without the stress of flood zones, HOA fees, or costly surprises. This is the kind of opportunity that rarely hits the market in Lake Placid… and when it does, it doesn’t last. This meticulously maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on a high-elevation lot (Flood Zone X), offering peace of mind and true Florida living at its best. With no HOA or CDD fees, you keep more money in your pocket while enjoying complete freedom over your property. Step outside to your private, fully fenced backyard—an inviting retreat perfect for pets, entertaining, or simply unwinding in your own slice of paradise. The detached above-ground pool is ready for sunny afternoons, while the screened porch offers the perfect spot for quiet mornings and evening relaxation. Inside, the home feels warm, updated, and move-in ready. You’ll love the modernized bathrooms, stylish flooring, and efficient kitchen designed for everyday living. Thoughtful upgrades like a Nest thermostat, whole-home generator hookup, metal roof, and solar panels add both convenience and long-term savings. This home isn’t just charming—it’s smart. No storm damage history. Energy-efficient features. Solid construction. And a location just one block from the lake, surrounded by nature, parks, and wildlife. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, seasonal resident, or investor, this property checks boxes that are getting harder to find at this price point. Homes this close to the lake—with this level of upkeep and zero added fees—are in short supply. Schedule your showing before someone else claims it.
