Inside, discover a haven of comfort and luxury, with two master suites, a bonus room offering versatility, half bath off the living room and a pool guest suite with a full bath and its own AC. Quartz counters and soft-close drawers grace the gourmet kitchen, equipped with a gas stove and double oven for culinary enthusiasts and plenty of pantry storage. The spacious living room boasts 16-foot sliding glass doors, framing panoramic views of the screened-in heated pool featuring a waterfall, swim jet and sun shelf. Misting fans grace the pool area, where an outdoor kitchen awaits culinary adventures and fun gatherings. The home is enhanced by a full Collugan water system, tankless water heater, vinyl flooring, an electric fireplace and walk-in closets. This home embodies the epitome of true lakeside luxury living.
