### Agent Description
WATERFRONT PARADISE ON LAKE CARTER | PRIVATE DOCK | LAWN CARE INCLUDED! 

Experience the ultimate Florida lakeside lifestyle in this meticulously maintained, 2017-built custom residence by Integrity Builders. Offering direct access to your own private, fenced dock on Lake Carter, this property is an absolute showstopper designed for those who love serene water views and spectacular sunsets. From the elegant paver entrance to the manicured landscaping, the home perfectly balances sophisticated design with everyday comfort. The open-concept living and dining areas are anchored by stunning real wood flooring and flooded with natural light. At the heart of the home is a gourmet chef’s kitchen, newly upgraded with brand-new LG stainless steel appliances, premium finishes, soft-close cabinetry, and a dedicated built-in computer desk. The thoughtful 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom split floor plan offers maximum privacy, highlighted by newly installed, plush carpeting in all bedrooms. The primary suite serves as a true sanctuary, boasting an expansive walk-in closet and a spa-inspired ensuite with a deep jetted tub for ultimate relaxation. Premium functional upgrades abound, including a whole-house water softener, a dedicated laundry room with a utility sink, and a full exterior gutter system.

Outdoor living truly shines on your screened lanai and inside the fully fenced backyard that leads directly to the water—an idyllic setting for sunset fishing, paddleboarding, or relaxing on your private dock.

LOW-MAINTENANCE LUXURY: The low $175 monthly HOA fee provides a stress-free lifestyle by covering all grass cutting and fertilization! Plus, enjoy access to the community pool, which uniquely includes one free private rental per year for your special events. Schedule your private tour today to experience Florida waterfront living at its absolute finest!
