Adjacent to the primary suite is an office/4th bedroom that works well for remote work, guests, or nursery use. A second main-level bedroom sits near the newly remodeled guest bath featuring porcelain tile, a quartz vanity, and a tub/shower combination. Upstairs, a second living area accompanies the third bedroom and another full bath. A walk-in attic with decking offers additional storage and room for possible future expansion. The outdoor area features a private pool with a waterfall, a covered lanai with a TV hookup, and space suited for relaxing or casual gatherings. Recent improvements include new double-paned windows and sliders (2023), a composite front door (2023), two new AC units (2022 & 2023), a new roof (2018), and remodeled bathrooms (2024 and 2025). The home also offers a large laundry room, a side-entry three-car garage with significant storage, generous parking, and a fenced yard. Highlands-By-The-Lake provides gated access along with a clubhouse, tennis and pickleball courts, and a community pool. The Lakeland area offers lakes for fishing and boating, golf courses, parks, trails, well-regarded schools, libraries, boutique shopping, restaurants, breweries, and year-round community events.
