## Description

### Agent Description
Experience lakeside luxury in this meticulously maintained, 2017-built residence by Integrity Builders, featuring direct access to your private, fenced dock on Lake Carter—the breathtaking focal point of this property. From the elegant paver entrance to the manicured landscaping, this home perfectly balances sophisticated design with everyday comfort, centered around a seamless living and dining combo adorned with stunning wood flooring. The heart of the home is a gourmet chef’s kitchen, recently upgraded for 2026 with brand-new LG stainless steel appliances, complemented by soft-close cabinetry, a dedicated computer desk, and premium finishes. A thoughtful 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom split floor plan offers maximum privacy, highlighted by newly installed, plush carpeting in all bedrooms. The primary suite serves as a true sanctuary, boasting an expansive walk-in closet and a spa-inspired ensuite with a jetted tub for ultimate relaxation. Functional upgrades abound throughout the residence, including a whole-house water softener, a dedicated laundry room with a utility sink, and a full exterior gutter system. Outdoor living truly shines with a screened lanai and a fully fenced backyard that leads directly to the water—an idyllic setting for sunset fishing or enjoying serene lake views from your private dock. Beyond the property lines, the low $170 monthly HOA fee provides a stress-free lifestyle by covering all grass cutting and fertilization, while granting access to the community pool, which uniquely includes one free private rental once a year for your special events. Schedule your private tour today to experience Florida waterfront living at its finest!
