WHY BUILD AND WAIT WHEN THE WORK HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE? Set on 2.5 acres in Golden Gate Estates, this stunning 2023-built home offers 4 bedrooms + den, 3 baths, 2,468 sq. ft. of living space and a 3-car garage, along with over $336,000 in seller improvements since purchase. The showstopper is the $235,000 custom resort-style pool and outdoor living package created for the ultimate Florida lifestyle. An expansive screened enclosure surrounds the custom pool featuring a raised spa and sun shelf, while the oversized pool deck provides incredible space for relaxing and entertaining. The large covered lanai extends the living space outdoors with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen featuring a built-in grill, sink and beverage refrigerator. Surrounded by the home's spacious acreage and wooded backdrop, this outdoor retreat offers a level of privacy that's hard to duplicate. Step inside to a bright, contemporary interior with an open great-room design and split-bedroom floor plan. The kitchen anchors the main living space with a large island, abundant cabinetry and an easy flow into the dining and living areas. Large glass doors create a seamless connection to the lanai and pool, bringing the outdoor setting into view. The spacious primary suite features a tray ceiling, direct access to the pool area, dual walk-in closets and a beautifully designed bath with a freestanding soaking tub, dual sinks and separate glass-enclosed shower areas. Three additional bedrooms, a den/flex space and two additional baths provide plenty of room for family, guests or a home office. Impact-resistant windows and doors add additional peace of mind. And the improvements don't stop at the pool. The sellers have also invested in a whole-home generator, fencing, extensive landscaping, two mini-split systems, an upgraded whole-house reverse osmosis water-treatment system with single and dual membrane filtration, additional site work and insulation. With 2.5 acres, no HOA fees, a 3-car garage, newer construction and more than $336,000 invested after purchase, this property combines the space and privacy of Golden Gate Estates with the major improvements already completed. This isn't just a home with a pool—it's a private Florida retreat that's already been created for you.
