Description of Property
Welcome to 7898 Lake James Blvd, a stunning 2-bedroom plus office (optional 3rd bedroom), 2-bathroom custom-built Mariam III residence by Ernie White Construction, completed in 2023 and located in the exclusive 55+ gated community of Lake James in Lakeland, FL. From the moment you arrive, the home’s elevated curb appeal is evident — featuring a pavered driveway and walkway, custom stone accents, and beautifully maintained landscaping with stamped concrete curbing and rock beds that frame the exterior with timeless elegance. Step inside through the upgraded glass entry door and you'll find a thoughtfully designed layout with soaring ceilings, crown molding throughout, and an abundance of natural light. The open-concept living area connects seamlessly to the oversized kitchen, which showcases gorgeous Corian countertops, an abundance of upgraded soft-close cabinetry, pull-out drawers, a massive walk-in pantry with custom wood shelving, and top-of-the-line stainless appliances. Just off the living space is a casual dining area and access to the private screened-in lanai — a peaceful outdoor retreat perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The primary suite is spacious and serene, offering a large walk-in closet, dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a beautifully tiled walk-in shower with a no-door design for easy access and low maintenance. The guest bedroom is generously sized with ample closet space and is serviced by a full guest bath featuring upgraded tile work and custom cabinetry. An additional office or den is located near the front entry and can easily function as a third bedroom when needed. The expanded laundry room adds even more value with upgraded cabinets, countertop space, a large utility sink, and a convenient hanging bar. Additional upgrades include plantation shutters on all windows, a remote-controlled privacy shade on the back slider, energy-efficient low-E double-pane windows and sliders, upgraded fixtures, and neutral paint tones throughout. The oversized screened-in paver lanai is partially covered and ideal for outdoor living. The home sits just a short walk or golf cart ride away from the community clubhouse, fitness center, heated pool, and scenic walking trails. Lake James is known for its peaceful setting and low-maintenance lifestyle, with monthly fees covering lawn care, cable, and internet. Conveniently located near shopping, restaurants, and just minutes from I-4, this home truly combines luxury, comfort, and convenience in one of Lakeland’s premier 55+ communities.
