Set along the shores of Sylvan Lake, this four-bedroom, three-bath home offers wide water views and plenty of wildlife right outside the window. Built in 1993 and fully updated in 2018, it received new plumbing, a new roof, and a new HVAC system with all-new ductwork. The family room and kitchen were reworked into an open layout, and the update list continues with new fixtures, floors, and baths, a refinished pool, and an enlarged, extended pool screen with a bigger paver deck. The heavy lifting has already been done, so the next owner can spend their time enjoying the lake instead of fixing up the house. Inside, the craftsmanship shows. Travertine floors, solid custom wood cabinetry, and granite counters run throughout. The living room could easily work as a home office, while the great room and kitchen have tall ceilings and views that lead straight out to the water. The primary suite shares those same lake views and opens to a bath with a travertine shower fitted with multiple jets, plus a separate soaking tub. Bedrooms two, three, and four sit on the other side of the house along with the remaining baths, one of which opens right onto the pool. Outside, a large, retractable and panoramic screen enclosure covers the paver pool deck, lanai, and summer kitchen, making it an easy spot for entertaining or just everyday time with family. Sit by the fire pit and watch for wildlife, or take the boat out onto Sylvan Lake, 193 acres known both for skiing and for good fishing, one of the larger lakes in Seminole County for either. Lakeside living is what people move to Florida for, and Sylvan Cove is the only community in the area with its own private boat launch. Bring the water toys. This is the good life, lakeside.
