Overlooking a peaceful pond in the gated golf community of Lake Jovita, this beautifully maintained 4 bedroom, 3 bath cabana-style pool home is centered around a private courtyard heated pool and offers an impressive list of recent upgrades designed to add lasting value, including a newer roof and solar panels! Arriving at the home, the thoughtful and unique layout immediately stands out. The cabana-style design wraps the living spaces around the courtyard pool, creating a natural connection between indoor living and outdoor entertaining while maintaining privacy throughout the home. The kitchen offers newer stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar seating for casual mornings, a bright eat-in dinette for everyday meals, and a large walk-in pantry that keeps everything organized and within reach. From here, the home opens into the main living area where coffered ceilings add architectural character and a built-in entertainment center anchors the space. Three built-in shelving nooks in the dining room make hosting effortless, while a wall of sliding doors draws your eyes to the tranquil pond beyond and fills the room with natural light. Privately positioned away from the secondary bedrooms, the primary suite serves as a quiet retreat at the end of the day. Wake up to calming water views, step directly out to the pool, and enjoy the comfort of an expansive walk-in closet with custom cabinetry. Its ensuite bathroom provides dual sinks, a soaking garden tub, a separate walk-in shower, and a private water closet. Bedrooms two and three are located within the main portion of the home along with a full guest bathroom and a generously sized laundry room, providing convenience and functionality for everyday living. Across the courtyard, the fourth bedroom offers exceptional flexibility with its own private entrance, spacious bedroom, walk-in closet, and full ensuite bathroom. Whether used as a guest suite, space for extended family, or a private home office, it offers welcome separation from the main living areas. At the center of it all, the courtyard becomes the heart of the home. The pool and spa are surrounded by multiple seating areas, creating a private outdoor setting perfect for quiet evenings or weekend gatherings. A screened back porch and a newer stone patio extend the outdoor living space even further, both overlooking the peaceful pond and offering a relaxing place to enjoy Florida’s beautiful weather. Several major improvements have been completed in recent years, including a new roof, new solar panels that currently generate enough energy to sell power back to the electric company, and new Icynene insulation, all installed in 2023. Additional updates include a new pool heater, upgraded sprinkler system, drainage improvements, double pane windows throughout, HVAC, and a reverse osmosis system in the kitchen. Lake Jovita is a resort-style gated golf community known for its 2 exceptional golf courses, scenic landscapes, and beautiful homes, with multiple membership options available for golf, dining, and amenities.
