About this home
If you’ve been waiting for a home where the setting feels special and the major updates are already in place, this is it.
Set on a rare oversized corner lot with a circular driveway and lake views, this Arthur Rutenberg-built, concrete block ranch offers something increasingly hard to find: space, privacy, and a calm, open backdrop that instantly changes the way a home feels.
The peace-of-mind improvements buyers look for most are already done: the roof is approximately four years old, a high-performing Trane A/C was replaced two years ago, and a new water heater was installed in April 2025.
From the moment you arrive, the home invites you to slow down. Mature landscaping frames the property, the driveway creates a sense of arrival, and the way the lot sits—with homes spread out—gives you breathing room that newer neighborhoods rarely offer. And because the lot is so generous, there’s also room along the side of the home to park a boat and trailer or an RV—an added benefit you rarely get in this area.
Inside, you’ll notice how comfortable and elevated the home feels at the same time. Wood floors run throughout, paired with tasteful grass-cloth accents that add warmth and texture without trying too hard. The layout is thoughtful and functional—easy to live in, easy to entertain in, and designed in a way that still feels hard to replicate in many newer builds.
The bright kitchen is nicely done with white cabinetry, granite countertops, and under-cabinet lighting, and it opens into a casual eating area where windows look out over the peaceful backyard and lake—the kind of view that makes everyday moments feel quieter and more grounded.
This home is a three-bedroom, with the third bedroom currently converted into a den and easily returned to a bedroom if needed. The guest bedroom is ideal for visitors and features commercial-grade carpet for durability and comfort. The living room is finished with quality window treatments and thick PVC blinds, and you’ll appreciate the storage closets throughout—one of those subtle features that makes day-to-day living feel easier.
The primary suite is a true retreat with crown molding, large closets, and a vanity with plumbing already in place. And then there are two spaces you’ll find yourself drawn to again and again: a screened lanai that lets you enjoy the breeze and the outdoors in comfort, plus a separate Florida room that adds even more living space and flexibility. Together, they create an ideal flow for relaxing or entertaining while taking in corner lake views and a backyard that feels open, natural, and peaceful. Fishing is allowed, and the lake remains unobstructed with no fencing restricting your view or access, so it feels like the setting belongs to you.
The home also includes a large laundry and garden room with a wash-off area, plus a shower and toilet—convenient after time outdoors. A laundry sink is included, along with the washer and dryer. The two-car garage offers attic access, and a chest freezer conveys.
The truth is, this home isn’t trying to be trendy—it’s offering something better: a well-built, well-kept property with character, comfort, and the kind of lot and lake backdrop that’s simply hard to replace. And for anyone with a more modern vision, the canvas is already strong… because the bones, the layout, and the setting are exactly what you can’t recreate later.
Come experience it in person — the lot and the lake will do the rest.
