Rarely available and simply stunning, this extraordinary dream home within the exclusive gated enclave of Lakewood Retreat — nestled inside the resort-style community of Wilderness Lake Preserve — offers a rare combination of supreme function, refined luxury, and unmatched lifestyle. Resting on a generous 0.38-acre lot, this award-winning 4BR/4BA, 4,357 sq ft masterpiece was the builder’s former model home and proud winner of the Best House award at the Parade of Homes (2007) — and it shows in every detail. Step through the grand double entry doors and be immediately captivated by the professionally decorated interior, where soaring ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, arched door details, a designer color scheme, and thick crown molding throughout set the tone for something truly extraordinary. The open-concept floor plan flows effortlessly, making this home as livable as it is breathtaking. Gourmet Kitchen & Great Room The gourmet kitchen is tailored for both daily life and grand entertaining, featuring stainless-steel appliances, a center island with storage, wine storage, granite countertops, wall oven, dishwasher, breakfast bar, French door refrigerator, large pantry, and recessed lighting — all opening to a spectacular great room with gorgeous coffered wood ceilings, custom built-ins, a cozy stone fireplace, and sliding glass doors leading to the covered lanai. Outdoor Oasis & Waterfront Dock Step outside to your private resort-style oasis, where a fully screened-in saltwater pool, soothing spa, fire-pit area, outdoor grill, and fully fenced backyard invite endless relaxation and entertainment. The crown jewel of the outdoor space is the renovated covered private dock, brilliantly built with durable Trex materials, offering soul-restoring water views — the perfect setting for morning yoga, evening wine with friends, or simply swaying in a hammock as the sun sets over the water. Primary Suite & Additional Bedrooms The primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring deep tray ceilings, multiple built-out closets, and a lavish en suite with a jetted soaking tub, oversized separate shower, dual vanities, and a private water closet. Two additional lower-level bedrooms share a well-appointed Jack-and-Jill bath. Upstairs, a massive loft with a built-in wet bar provides the ultimate flex space for a game room, second lounge, or teen retreat.
