Arrive to lush landscaping, a paver driveway, and a gated front entryway that sets the tone for the serene oasis beyond.

Inside the main home, thoughtful design details include coffered ceilings, crown molding, built-in shelving, a split-bedroom layout, and quadruple sliding doors that seamlessly extend the living space to the screened porch and present stunning views of Lake Jovita’s 13th South Tee Box. Prepare your everyday meals with ease- this eat-in kitchen is nicely equipped and has plenty of dining space! It features Corian countertops, breakfast bar seating, an eat-in dinette with pool views, stainless steel appliances, and an oversized walk-in pantry. The primary suite is privately tucked away, offering direct pool access, a generous walk-in closet, and a spacious ensuite with dual sinks, a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and water closet. The guest bedroom is across the home positioned near the second full bath with pool access and the laundry room. Outdoors, the screened porch and travertine grilling patio provide plenty of space to relax and entertain while enjoying beautiful Florida sunsets and uninterrupted golf course and pond views. A tranquil paradise set within the gates of the desirable gated Lake Jovita community offering high speed Blue Stream internet, a playground, pickleball court, basketball court, dog park, and walking trails.
