This is the kind of home that makes you want to cancel weekend plans. Set behind the gates of the amenity-filled Lake Jovita community and with tranquil golf course views, this expansive 4 bedroom + office, 3 bath, 3 car garage pool home offers 3,297 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space on over half an acre, with attention to detail you feel the moment you arrive. A tropical, well-manicured front yard and pillar-accented double entry doors with a decorative glass inlay create a stylish and welcoming first impression. Inside, the layout opens wide and flows effortlessly, with a spacious living room measuring 21x22 and framed by quadruple sliding doors that draw your eye straight to the pool and outdoor entertaining area. The connection between the living room, formal dining area, and kitchen makes the home feel open yet grounded, while tray ceilings with LED lighting, plush carpet, crown molding, and elegant light fixtures add warmth without feeling overdone. The kitchen sits at the center of it all and is designed to be used and enjoyed. Granite countertops, a full stainless steel appliance package, generous cabinetry, expansive prep and serving space, breakfast bar seating, and a casual dinette create a space that works just as well for quiet mornings as it does for hosting. A private office is positioned near the front of the home and conveniently close to the primary suite, making working from home practical and comfortable. The primary suite itself is a true retreat, offering plush carpet flooring, two large walk-in closets, and direct access to the pool. The ensuite bath is beautifully arranged with a central jetted tub, dual sinks with ample counter space, a linen closet, water closet, and a walk-through shower with dual showerheads that feels like a relaxing daily reset. Secondary bedrooms are thoughtfully separated for privacy. Bedroom two is tucked into its own guest wing with an ensuite bathroom and sliding door access to the pool, lending itself perfectly to guest accommodations, a media room, or a flexible second living space. Bedrooms three and four are located down a separate hallway near the third full bath, creating a functional and comfortable layout. An interior laundry room with a utility sink and extensive cabinetry adds everyday ease, while the oversized 3 car garage provides plenty of room for storage or golf carts. Outside, the home truly comes into its own. The expansive paver pool deck has been newly sealed and upgraded to impress, featuring a bar with a refrigerator and seating, a pergola positioned to take in the golf course views, and a sparkling heated saltwater pool and spa with upgraded tile and new equipment. This is a space designed for long afternoons, sunset conversations, and effortless entertaining.
