Custom POOL home with LAKE views in SOUTH LAKELAND! This gorgeous home was just built by a seasoned builder in 2018 for his family and it makes no compromises on beauty or functionality. The drive-up to the house is impressive as the home sits upward with a semi-circle paver driveway. As soon as you step through the double wrought iron doors, you will appreciate the open layout, 10-foot ceilings, expertly crafted crown molding throughout the entire home, the artisan stone style tile floors, and overhead lighting! The great room incorporates the kitchen, dining and living room. Stone accents both the living room wall and kitchen backsplash, coordinating the two seamlessly. The custom kitchen is found in the back of the great room and is outfitted with kitchen aide appliances, gas cooktop with a custom range hood with undercount lighting, a built-in wall oven and microwave, and a spacious French door refrigerator.

Granite countertops complete the kitchen, with custom solid wood slow close cabinets provide plenty of space. Serving meals on the pool deck is easy as the triple custom sliding glass doors are right next to the kitchen. The travertine pool patio checks all the boxes: a built-in outdoor grill under a hood vent, a sitting and eating area to relax under the covered porch, with plenty of space around the pool to enjoy the Florida sunshine. The deck surrounds a gorgeous heated saltwater pool with its freeform cut banks with a waterfall feature. The living room provides a view of the pool along with plenty of space and open access to the kitchen and dining room and provides access to a half guest bath.
