About this home
Welcome to your private lakefront retreat, where tranquil water views and natural beauty create a setting that feels like a peaceful escape from everyday life. Perfectly positioned on Lake Joyce, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a thoughtfully designed layout featuring a desirable split floor plan and an open great room concept. Looking for community nostalgia? This is it: a small, friendly community tucked away with neighbors who host block parties and Christmas Cookie exchanges; they'll walk your dog and support your kids. From the moment you enter, soaring vaulted ceilings and a skylight fill the home with natural light, enhancing the sense of space and openness. The seamless flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas makes this home ideal for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Step outside to your own backyard oasis, complete with a $60,000 screened-in heated pool, tranquil waterfall, and a generous covered lanai—perfect for relaxing or hosting gatherings year-round. The true showstopper is the breathtaking lakefront panorama, stocked with bass, and offering exceptional privacy with no visible rear neighbors—just a serene, wooded backdrop and the natural beauty of herons and native waterbirds, creating a true tropical paradise. The thoughtfully designed split-bedroom floor plan offers enhanced privacy, complemented by a stylish sliding barn door that creates a private guest wing. The spacious primary suite serves as a relaxing retreat, featuring a well-appointed ensuite bath with dual vanities, a beautifully designed walk-in shower with custom built-ins, a generous walk-in closet, and a separate linen closet. Whether you're enjoying quiet mornings by the pool, entertaining under the lanai, or simply taking in the peaceful lakefront scenery, this home embodies the very best of Florida living. A rare opportunity to own a private slice of waterfront serenity—this is more than a home, it’s a lifestyle.
