Virtually Staged. EXCEPTIONAL LAKE LIVING. RESORT-STYLE ENTERTAINING. UNCOMPROMISING FLORIDA LUXURY. Welcome to 16623 Royal Palm Drive, a commanding Mediterranean-style residence where luxury, privacy, and the Florida waterfront lifestyle come together inside the gated Garden City community of Groveland. Offering more than 4,100 square feet of luxury living space, 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and a 3-car garage, this is not simply a home—it is a lifestyle designed for those who expect more. From the moment you arrive, the paver circular driveway, mature landscaping, and impressive architectural presence set the tone. Double glass entry doors open to soaring ceilings, rich hardwood flooring, dramatic architectural details, and expansive living spaces designed to make an impression. At the heart of the home, the chef-inspired kitchen is equally suited for intimate evenings and large-scale entertaining, featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, and an oversized center island overlooking the main living areas. Natural light pours through the home, while strategically placed windows and doors capture views of the outdoor retreat and surrounding lake setting.
