Description

Wake up to stunning sunrises and wide water views, and unwind each evening with breathtaking sunset reflections over Lake Saxon—this 4-bedroom, 4-bath lakefront pool home offers a Florida lifestyle that’s both rare and unforgettable. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac with 97 feet of frontage on an 83-acre private ski lake, this 3,202-square-foot residence is designed for relaxed living and effortless entertaining. A paver driveway and walkway lead to double glass entry doors, opening into a striking foyer with decorative tile inlay, plantation shutters, and refined architectural details. Inside, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, arched openings, and decorative columns with wood caps create a sense of timeless character throughout. The formal living room impresses with soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and a wet bar with granite countertops—an inviting space for gathering—while sliding glass doors open seamlessly to the outdoor living area. A separate formal dining room provides an elegant setting for entertaining, and the family room centers around a wood-burning fireplace with a wood mantle and custom shelving, offering warmth and comfort. The kitchen is a true showpiece—beautifully designed with tall cabinetry topped with crown molding, built-in pantries, granite countertops, and a tile backsplash accented by a decorative bridge over the sink. Recessed lighting enhances the custom feel, while the center island features a premium Viking cooktop with a vent hood and pendant lighting above. Custom wood paneling conceals the refrigerator and dishwasher for a refined, cohesive look. The U-shaped layout maximizes prep space, with windows overlooking the lanai and pool, creating a seamless connection to outdoor living. The primary suite is a private retreat with exposed beams, direct lanai access, a large walk-in closet plus an additional closet, and a spa-style bath completed in 2025. Dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, and a tiled walk-in shower with both rain and handheld fixtures create a space designed for relaxation. Outdoor living is where this home truly shines. The screened lanai features a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with a built-in propane grill, vent hood, and sink, all overlooking a large geometric pool and expansive paver deck. Beyond the screen enclosure, additional paver space extends the entertaining area—perfect for gathering and taking in the lakefront setting. A landscaped paver walkway leads to a private dock with electric davits, providing easy access to Lake Saxon for boating, water skiing, or simply enjoying the open water. Additional highlights include a 2022 roof, dual A/C systems (2019, serviced 2026), water heater (2025), composite deck (2025), pool pump (2023), resurfaced pool (2018), hurricane shutters, a laundry room with cabinets and sink, and an expanded driveway with a 2-car garage for extra parking. The home also features a dedicated pool bath, outdoor storage room, and attic space with standing room. Located in Lake Padgett Estates, residents enjoy exclusive access to multiple private lakes, including Lake Padgett, Lake Saxon, East Lake, and Lake Joyce, along with private parks, boat ramps, and picnic areas—all reserved for residents and their guests, with no HOA or CDD. This is more than a home—it’s a lakefront lifestyle defined by space, privacy, and the ability to enjoy every day like a getaway.
