Nestled on the high point of a wonderful neighborhood between two lakes sits this custom pool home on a large half-acre lot with a fenced backyard. This desirable SE Winter Haven location is close to Legoland, shopping, and restaurants, yet just outside of the busiest areas. Most of the houses on this street sit on half-acre or larger lots. This home offers many great features that are hard to find! From the solar-heated and screened-in pool with a covered lanai to the huge gazebo with a custom outdoor kitchen with a stainless grill and cabinets with a huge concrete countertop, perfect for entertaining! You’ll find a unique private courtyard with a water feature right off the master bedroom with its wall-to-wall sliding doors! The master suite also offers a huge walk-in closet with custom floor-to-ceiling shelving to keep all your clothes and shoes organized. The master bathroom features a gorgeous dual sink vanity with granite countertops, a large tiled shower, and even a full bidet! Utility bills are low thanks to the solar photovoltaic system (owned), and there’s even a whole-house generator to keep the power on during power outages. The oversized 2.5-car garage with a half bath offers plenty of room for your toys and a workshop area. The kitchen opens into the living room with views out into the pool area, as well as a lovely fireplace. A formal dining room sits just off the kitchen. A bonus office or den could easily be converted into a fourth bedroom! The two guest rooms are spacious with nice-sized closets, and between the two, you will find a nice-sized full bathroom. If you enjoy entertaining, you will love the backyard! The gazebo with outdoor kitchen (installed in 2020) is right off the pool area with plenty of seating, a huge bar, stainless steel grill, with nice landscaping to offer privacy from your neighbors. Behind the gazebo is a large shed with plenty of storage. The roofs on the house, gazebo, and shed were new in 2021, along with new exterior paint! You’ll find several fruit trees, an irrigation system, established landscaping, and very few bills with well water and a septic system. This home has been well cared for and is move-in ready!
