Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in the guard-gated golf and tennis community of Alaqua Lakes, this beautifully updated single-story home enjoys serene water and conservation views backing to the Wekiva Preserve. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers four bedrooms, a private executive office with custom California Closets wraparound desks, and a spacious bonus room renovated to restore its natural light. The outdoor living space is a true highlight, featuring a fully renovated pool with a pebble finish, sun shelf, glass tile, travertine decking, pool equipment and heater [2025]. Bistro and landscape lighting [2025] create a welcoming evening atmosphere, while the expansive covered lanai offers plenty of room for relaxing, dining and entertaining. The screened pool enclosure was replaced, the yard is fenced with puppy pickets, and refreshed landscaping with ProVista sod [2024] enhances both the front and backyard. Inside, the home features Pella windows and front doors [2025], whole-house interior and exterior paint [2022], stainless-steel refrigerator and dishwasher, and a custom built-in pantry. The spacious primary suite includes renovated closets with California Closets systems and updated flooring [2023], along with updated countertops, sinks and cabinetry in both primary bathroom areas. Additional improvements include the roof [2021], replaced HVAC systems (2016 & 2020), a replaced gas water heater with timer [2023] and a termite bond with Sentricon protection [2026].
